How to copy an X thread or post to Gemini
Prepare X/Twitter threads or posts for Gemini by converting them to clean Markdown, including thread order and post text that a simple URL may not expose.
Test it out now!
Simply replace x.com with tweet.md in any Tweet URL.
Why URLs fail
A link is a request. Markdown is context.
If the assistant cannot fetch X, can only see the target post, or hits a login wall, it has to guess. tweet.md turns the source into text the model can actually read.
x.com URL → maybe blocked / partial / dynamic
tweet.md → ordered Markdown in the prompt
Gemini can search the web, but a pasted X URL is still not the same as providing the post text and thread order in the prompt.
X pages can be dynamic, blocked, or incomplete for automated readers, so Gemini may summarize only the snippet it can see.
Markdown keeps the source text inside the chat, which makes Gemini answers more reproducible and easier to audit.

https://tweet.md/jack/status/20?thread=branch-20 - 03
Copy the Markdown output.
Use ?thread=branch-20 for the branch you're in, or ?thread=all-20 for a recent conversation slice. Paid users omit thread for branch-15 by default. - 04
Paste into Gemini with a source-grounded prompt.
Tell the model to use the pasted Markdown as the source of truth.
