Bluesky’s new app is an AI for customizing your feed
Why it matters: Attie enables non-coders to build custom apps on the AT Protocol, expanding the developer base beyond 26.9 million software developers.
- Attie, Bluesky's new app, is an AI assistant that enables users to build custom social media feeds using natural language queries, initially confined to a standalone app but planned for integration into Bluesky and other atproto apps.
- Jay Graber, former Bluesky CEO, and Paul Frazee, CTO, unveiled Attie at the Atmosphere conference, emphasizing its foundation on Bluesky’s AT Protocol (atproto) and its power from Anthropic’s Claude.
- Graber stated in a blog post that Attie will eventually allow users to "vibe code" entire apps on atproto, transforming the open protocol to be accessible to anyone, not just coders, a point echoed by The Verge AI.
- Users can join a waiting list for Attie, which is currently in closed beta, by visiting attie.ai.
Bluesky has launched Attie, an AI assistant powered by Anthropic’s Claude, designed to revolutionize social media by allowing users to create highly customized feeds and eventually entire apps using natural language, making the AT Protocol genuinely open to non-coders. Both Bluesky's former CEO Jay Graber and The Verge AI highlight Attie's potential to personalize software without coding experience.
