Jack Dorsey, co-founder of Twitter, announced the launch of a new app called diVine, aimed at reviving the format of popular six-second videos from Vine. This move comes amid the rapid rise of AI-generated content on social media.
The key feature of diVine lies in providing access to over 100,000 archived Vine videos, which were recovered from an old backup prior to the platform’s shutdown in 2016. The project is implemented with the support of the non-profit organization “and Other Stuff,” created by Dorsey in May 2025 to support experimental projects. Users of the new app will not only be able to view the archives but also create their own six-second videos.
Particular attention in diVine is paid to controlling AI-generated content. The app detects suspicious generated content, preventing its publication. The recovery of the archive was supported by Evan Henshaw-Plath, known as Rabble. He used data saved by the Archive Team group to reconstruct much of the content and user profiles.
The launch of diVine takes place in the context of Elon Musk’s announcements regarding the possible revival of Vine under the umbrella of his platform X (formerly Twitter), but no public launches have occurred yet.
