As you can see in the above example, soon advertisers will be able to simply describe the audience that they want to reach, like “users who are leaders in technology,” and X’s AI matching system will then provide them with an ad audience based on that description.

Further, advertisers will be able to also see an overview of top users in the generated audience, their related interests, locations, etc. Also, they will then be able to add more to their description and refine their targeting further, without the need for in-depth knowledge of the specific targeting and audience terms.

This new feature is pretty much the same as what Google recently announced as part of its NewFronts presentation.

The platform seems to be taking a more simplistic approach, at least in its example, but the basic idea is that by using generative AI, advertisers can then enable the ad system to extrapolate the perfect audience for each campaign, based on straightforward descriptions of exactly who they want to reach.

This could be a big development, with a heap of value for many advertisers, if of course works. The proof here will be in execution and the results that brands get from their campaigns when they rely on X’s automated targeting.

X seems confident that its targeting systems will deliver. The platform recently noted that its improved AI audience matching, and placement tools are now driving a 10% increase in click-through rates, on average, and a 16% increase in conversions. This sounds positive and perhaps it could provide better options for creating ad audiences in the app, or if you are looking to use X ads, it could be worth an experiment.

However, many advertisers are still avoiding X due to concerns about its revised view of moderation, and owner Elon Musk’s controversial posts. Neither of these issues appears likely to be addressed, thus, if you’re still finding value in X ads, and your audience is still there, this could be a valuable option.

To sum up, X’s only guidance on this is that it’s “coming soon,” so we’ll have to wait and see when it’s made available in the app.
