Who Is Bluesky'S New App? It Lets You Type Yourself A Custom Feed
Bluesky is launching Attie, a standalone artificial intelligence assistant designed to help users construct personalized social media feeds through natural language commands rather than traditional scrolling or filtering tools. The project represents the company's strategic pivot away from building another network toward developing an AI sidekick that curates content based on user input and preferences.
Key Points
-
1Bluesky unveiled Attie at the Atmosphere conference on March 29-30 to showcase its new AI-powered product.
-
2Attie allows users to create custom social media feeds by typing prompts rather than coding, powered by Anthropic's Claude model and Bluesky AT Protocol infrastructure.
-
3The platform is currently in beta testing with attendees at the conference who are expected to serve as early adopters of this new feature set.
Developments
Bluesky has launched "Attie," an AI-powered social feed built on Anthropic's Claude and the open AT Protocol that allows users to customize content algorithms through text prompts rather than code. While currently in private beta without a set price, Attie aims to give individuals control over their feeds as part of Bluesky's broader strategy funded by $100 million raised last year; crypto integration is explicitly excluded despite investor backing from the sector.
Bluesky's chief innovation officer Jay Graber and her Exploration team launched "Attie," a separate AI assistant built on Bluesky's open-source AT Protocol framework that allows users to generate custom social media feeds using natural language prompts without coding knowledge. Currently available only in an invite-only closed beta, Attie operates independently but leverages the same underlying technology as its parent platform and other potential apps developed within it.
Bluesky's former CEO and CTO unveiled "Attie," an AI assistant powered by Anthropic Claude that allows users with no coding experience to build custom feeds using natural language on their own AT Protocol data via a standalone app, which is currently in closed beta. The team plans for Attie eventually evolve into full agentic tools capable of generating entire applications directly within the open protocol ecosystem and other atproto apps without requiring traditional programming skills.
