<p class="content-text">We plan to enhance the sandbox by adding new features that improve both researcher and user experience while addressing current design limitations. A primary focus will be improving AI account deployment to remain aligned with rapidly evolving commercial tools, as well as enabling the selection of multiple recommendation algorithms tailored to specific research goals, such as maximizing engagement, time spent, or trending content. Future updates will expand AI account capabilities to include interactions like liking, commenting, reposting, following users, and reporting content, supported by scalable distributed AI infrastructure. Users will be able to discover and request access to private experiments, join approved studies using an additional security code, and participate in multiple experiments under experiment-specific rules. Researchers will be able to import existing discussions, manage participant access, and gather feedback. Ongoing testing, direct user feedback, and regular surveys will guide iterative improvements to ensure the platform meets the needs of both users and researchers.</p>
