FAQ
Can Claude read X (Twitter) threads?
No — Claude can't read an X/Twitter URL you paste; X has required login for most content since 2022, so Claude's server-side fetch (and ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity) gets blocked or sees an empty page. The fix: open the thread in your browser and convert it with Web2MD, which captures every tweet in order as clean Markdown you paste into Claude.
Can ChatGPT or Gemini read tweets from a link?
No. Pasting an X link only gives the model the URL string, and built-in browsing is blocked by X's auth wall from datacenter IPs. A browser-side extractor running in your logged-in session (Web2MD) reads the rendered thread and emits Markdown that any AI accepts.
How do I save an X thread as Markdown for AI?
Open the thread, click Web2MD — it stitches the whole thread into one Markdown document (tweets in order, links and @mentions preserved), then "Send to AI" hands it straight to Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini. No copy-pasting tweet by tweet.
Why does copy-pasting an X thread into Claude lose the structure?
Copy-paste grabs rendered HTML and UI chrome — reply counts, "Show more", broken line breaks — not the clean thread text. Web2MD reads the DOM and re-emits ordered Markdown, so the conversation flow stays intact for the AI to follow.
