Bluesky has created another app, Attie, that uses AI to build custom feeds.
The Bluesky team announced Attie at the Atmosphere conference over the weekend, TechCrunch reported. The conference is about the AT protocol, which is the underlying protocol Bluesky is built on, according to TechCrunch, and the conference attendees will be the initial beta testers.
Attie already has a Bluesky account, naturally, where it posted on Saturday that it's currently in an invite-only closed beta (much like how Bluesky was when it launched).
"Attie is the first agentic social app on atproto [the AT protocol]," the post reads. "It's something completely new — an experiment in making building on the protocol more accessible."
The Attie presentation comes shortly after Bluesky CEO Jay Graber announced she's stepping down from her position. Graber will now be chief innovation officer, and she was part of the Attie announcement along with CTO Paul Frazee, TechCrunch reported.
Graber also posted a blog about Attie on Saturday, in which she wrote, "The proliferation of low-quality AI-generated content is making public social networks noisier and less trustworthy at a time when we need accurate information more than ever," yet major platforms aren't trying to fix the problem.
Graber continued that she and the Bluesky team believe AI should "serve people, not platforms," and that an open protocol "puts this power directly in users' hands." It's increasingly possible to personalize software without being able to code, she wrote, thanks to agentic coding tools.
"You can use it to build your own feeds, create software that works the way you want it to, and find signal in the noise," she wrote.
Attie users will apparently be able to describe what posts they want to see, and the coding agent will build the feed they describe. The experience will be "more like having a conversation than configuring software," according to Graber.
On the Attie website, examples of prompts include "poetry, long-form fiction craft, and writing process from people I follow" and "Show me electronic music and experimental sound from people in my network."
Those without an invite code can sign up for Attie's waitlist on the website.
