Bluesky developers working on Attie, an AI-enabled app for making custom feeds

MANILA, Philippines – The team behind social media platform Bluesky is working on a standalone product that will help people to create their own algorithmic feeds with the help of artificial intelligence.

TechCrunch reported on Sunday, March 29, that Bluesky showed off its latest product-in-development called Attie at the Atmosphere conference in Canada over the weekend.

Running on the AT Protocol (atpro), the underlying protocol running Bluesky, Attie aims to use natural language processing to develop customized feeds of information for users that can be curated by AI. Attie uses the Claude model of Anthropic to operate.

According to TechCrunch’s report, after logging in using their Atmosphere login, such as one’s Bluesky account, “Attie will immediately understand what you’ve been talking about, what sort of things you like, and more, because Bluesky and the wider ecosystem are open systems that share data across apps.”

Users can prompt Attie to find and curate a feed based off information from other atpro-friendly apps, networks, and services,

“It’s a new product — it’s not a part of the Bluesky app,” interim CEO Toni Schneider said in an interview.

Schneider added, “You control it, you shape it, without having to write code or know how to set up these feeds,”

Terming it as a “people-focused” application the Bluesky developers are making, Schneider also called Attie’s development “the beginning of just having a lot more people be able to build on top of the Atmosphere.”

Attendees to the conference will be the initial beta testers of Attie. – Rappler.com
