Attie Introduced as Standalone AI
Bluesky unveiled Attie, an AI assistant that allows users to create custom social media feeds through natural language commands.
“Attie promises personalized social feeds and app building for ATProto users, but its real test will be whether creators adopt vibe-coding tools and open interop”
Attie is a standalone app built by Jay Graber's new team, leveraging Anthropic's Claude.
Conference attendees at Atmosphere became the first beta testers.
Natural Language Feed Building
Attie lets users build personalized feeds by typing commands in natural language.
Users sign in with an Atmosphere login that draws on activity across the ecosystem.
Toni Schneider described it as an AI product that's user-centered.
Vibe-Coding and Future Tools
Attie-created feeds can be viewed within Bluesky or other ATProto apps.
“Bluesky has introduced a new artificial intelligence-driven application designed to give users greater control over how they consume social content”
The long-term goal is to let users vibe-code their own social apps.
Schneider emphasized AI should benefit people, not be a black box.
Democratizing Algorithmic Choice
Attie's release marks a strategic shift by Bluesky.
Bluesky leverages open atproto to make feeds shareable and remixable.
Users can control what they see without coding expertise.
