Engagement
A typical post picks up 120 interactions against 689K followers, an engagement rate of 0.018%. Measured over 11 original posts, its engagement rate beats 42% of 3,829 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 38K times each, and 0.319% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 5.47% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.1 post a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 57% of days. Most posts go out around 02:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 11 posts sampled, 55% carry an image or video, 9% are part of a thread and 36% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 8.8K interactions, about 73x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Elad Gil's engagement rate beats 42% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,829 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 8 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 25% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 02:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Ocarina of Time, running natively on iOS and iPadOS for the first time. Not an emulator. Ship of Harkinian has run on Windows, Linux, macOS, Switch, Wii U, and Android. Never iOS. Now it runs on iPad, with iPhone in the build too. The game was decompiled to C and rebuilt as a native ARM64 app rendering through Metal. No N64 hardware being simulated, no ROM interpreted at runtime, no streaming from a Mac. It isn't stuck at the N64's 240p and 20fps. Widescreen, full resolution, 60fps. This game deserves a controller, so controller support is native. Pair a Bluetooth controller and play the whole thing. Touch, keyboard, and mouse work too. I used Codex 5.6 Sol to build the iOS layer. Open sourcing it all below.

Q2 recap for @harvey - +$100M NNARR - 53% DAU/MAU Key hires (including Q1) - Anique (CPO) - prev VP of Product at Rippling - Rachel (CMO) - prev CMO at Notion - Brooks (CISO) - prev CISO at Roblox - Keith (CSO) - prev CPO at Google Product - Agent unification - cloud agents can use all Harvey product surfaces - Command center (EA) - monitor adoption and ROI by use case - Contract intelligence (EA) - agentic contracting platform for enterprises Eng - Migration to cloud agent infrastructure - Integrating open source inference providers - Scaling document processing (54TB / week) AI - Legal Agent Bench - Open source post training - Published multiple research directions with partners We invested heavily in cloud agent infrastructure at the end of last year and in Q1. In Q2 we also unified many of our product surfaces (collapsed as @winstonweinberg says) by making them all tools accessible by our cloud agents. Prior to this, there were a lot of capabilities in Harvey that were often only discovered by power users. As cloud agents get better and our product becomes more connected we are seeing users discover more of the product by learning from their agents (see plot of product surfaces per user).

Reading these numbers
A typical post picks up 120 interactions against 689K followers, an engagement rate of 0.018%. Measured over 11 original posts, its engagement rate beats 42% of 3,829 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 38K times each, and 0.319% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 5.47% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.1 post a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 57% of days. Most posts go out around 02:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 11 posts sampled, 55% carry an image or video, 9% are part of a thread and 36% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 8.8K interactions, about 73x its own typical post.
- What is Elad Gil's engagement rate on X?
- Elad Gil (@eladgil) has an engagement rate of 0.018%, based on the median interactions across 11 original posts from the last 30 days against 689,116 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.018%, Elad Gil sits above the 25th percentile of the 37,071 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @eladgil have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 42% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,829 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @eladgil post?
- Most posts go out around 02:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.1 posts per day across the measured window.
