BLUESKY
The timeline is no longer one-size-fits-all
Bluesky’s team has launched Attie, a new AI assistant that lets users build their own algorithms using plain language.
Revealed at the Atmosphere conference by former CEO Jay Graber and CTO Paul Frazee, the tool runs on Anthropic’s Claude and is built on Bluesky’s underlying AT Protocol.
The idea is simple: instead of relying on a platform’s default feed, users can describe exactly what they want to see.
Someone could ask for posts focused on folklore, mythology, or traditional Celtic music, and Attie would generate a custom feed around that request.
For now, those feeds will live inside the standalone Attie app, but the longer-term goal is to bring them into Bluesky and other apps built on atproto.
In brief:
Attie lets users create custom feeds with natural language prompts
It runs on Anthropic’s Claude and is built on Bluesky’s AT Protocol
The longer-term plan is to let users build apps on top of the protocol, not just feeds
Build-a-feed energy
The broader ambition goes beyond feed creation.
Over time, Attie is also expected to let users build their own apps on top of atproto using AI-assisted coding tools.
In a blog post, Graber said these tools could make open protocols more accessible to people without technical skills, giving more users the ability to shape and personalise software for themselves.
Attie is currently in closed beta, with a waiting list now open at attie.ai.
