About ThreadWave
ThreadWave is a review-first workflow for growing an X account from inside an AI agent you already use, such as Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, Trae or OpenClaw. You install it by copying a prompt into the agent, then give one line of intent and the agent drafts posts and replies that you approve before anything is sent.
It has three parts: your default agent, a CLI harness that runs an audit, strategy, plan and review loop, and a Chrome extension that acts on x.com in your real browser tab with human pacing, using no unofficial APIs or bots. Actions are spaced with cooldowns to avoid bursts, and drafts learn from your posts and edits to match your writing style. Approvals can be done at a desk or from a phone. The site notes that no automation tool can promise zero risk.
You can start free with 100 credits and no credit card, and a one-time $10 purchase adds 2,000 long-lived credits. During setup your agent pauses for Chrome approval and for ThreadWave, Stripe and X sign-ins.
