If you’ve ever wanted to build your own social media feed but didn’t want to learn code, Bluesky’s new AI assistant is built exactly for that. The platform’s chief innovation officer, Jay Graber, and her Exploration team just introduced Attie—an AI assistant that lets you generate custom feeds by typing plain-English prompts.
Attie uses Bluesky’s open-source AT Protocol, but it works as its own app. According to Engadget, this AI assistant lets you interact by chatting instead of using a standard software interface. You say what posts you want, and it builds your feed. Graber described it as “having a conversation rather than configuring software.”
How the Bluesky AI Assistant Works?
Users skip coding and settings—instead, they type what they want. The AI assistant instantly converts these natural language requests into a personalized social feed. To illustrate, here are some examples from the Attie website:
- “Show me electronic music and experimental sound from people in my network.”
- “Builders working on agent infrastructure and open protocol design”
In response to these queries, the AI assistant works behind the scenes. If you find most social media algorithms too broad or noisy, this lets you fine-tune exactly what appears in your feed—no technical skills needed.
Attie is currently in closed beta, and Bluesky has a waitlist for people who want to join. The AI assistant is built on the same AT Protocol as Bluesky, which could enable the two to work together in the future. Graber points out that Attie is separate from Bluesky, so users can choose not to use it if they prefer.
If you want to give it a try, here are the main benefits that make Attie different:
- Highly specific feeds: Go beyond the usual generic “For You” pages.
- Conversational setup: You can change your feed just by telling the AI assistant what you want to adjust.
- Open framework: In the future, it may support more apps built on the AT Protocol.
Overall, this approach is different from how most social platforms curate feeds. Instead of using just one algorithm, Bluesky lets people create the experience they want.
In conclusion, Bluesky’s new AI assistant, Attie, helps you create custom social feeds with just a few words. You don’t need any coding skills—describe what you want, and Attie does the rest. Want to try it early? Sign up for the invite-only beta waitlist and be one of the first to use Attie.
