Reviewed and published by trentmaziarz, April 22, 2026. Discovered and drafted by our automated research pipeline.

Bluesky tested Attie, a standalone AI app that allows users to build personalized social media feeds by typing plain-language descriptions, without needing to write code.

Details

Announced at the Atmosphere developer conference in late March 2026, Attie uses Anthropic's Claude as a coding agent to interpret natural language prompts and generate working feed algorithms on the AT Protocol. Users can describe the content they want to see — for example, 'show me tech news but skip crypto drama' — and Attie constructs a deployable feed. Attie is a separate product from the Bluesky app itself, built by a new internal team led by Bluesky's former CEO Jay Graber (now Chief Innovation Officer). As of late March 2026, Attie was in closed beta for Atmosphere conference attendees, with a waiting list at attie.ai; monetization had not been decided.
