A new Attie app from Bluesky is in private beta-testing.
Now, the team behind the decentralised social networking app Bluesky has launched a new AI-enabled app that allows users to build their own algorithm, curate personal feeds, and essentially ‘vibe-code’ their personal social media experience.
The annual ATmosphere conference, hosted in Vancouver, Canada on March 28 and 29 of the year 2026, reported the announcement made by Jay Graber, former Bluesky CEO (current chief innovation officer at Attie), and Paul Frazee, Bluesky CTO — unveiling Attie: a new agentic AI social app.
At its heart, Attie is an AI agent or assistant based on Anthropic’s Claude foundational AI models. Attie is not part of Bluesky but rather built on top Bluesky’s underlying decentralised open-source framework, AT Protocol, which allows developers to easily create their social app while users can seamlessly switch between them and port over existing followers, account handle and data.
Attie is now available for beta-testing by attendees of the ATmosphere 2026 conference. It comes at a critical moment for social media as the advent of A.I. and autonomous agents is poised to upend what we even consider the medium to be, with potentially lasting consequences.
Bluesky was born out of a Twitter project spearheaded by Jack Dorsey in 2019 and spun off into an independent company in 2021. It became a popular alternative to the micro-blogging platform after Elon Musk took over Twitter (now called X), and now has over 40 million users.
Bluesky is a decentralised replacement for traditional social media platforms that aims to relationally empower users with more control through the algorithmic black box. That difference matters, especially in the wake of backlash against big platforms like Facebook and Instagram and YouTube, which had adverse court rulings in the US last week — even as proposals to ban or limit social media use among teens continue to mount.
Bluesky is embedding AI into its wider effort for user-control and transparency. “We believe AI should be people-centric, not platform-centric. With an open protocol, this power is in the hands of users. You can use it to feed your own feeds, write software that does what you expect and find the signal in noise,” Graber was quoted as saying by TechCrunch.
Toni Schneider, Bluesky’s interim C.E.O., said: “We’ve launched a lot of things inside Bluesky — Starter Packs and custom feeds, all those kinds of things. This [Attie] is a one-off product and it’s also the first that’s made by Jay’s new team: You dictate it, you control it, and without having to write code or having to understand how to set up these feeds. It’s the start of just having many more people be able to build on top of the Atmosphere.”

“It is an AI product, but it’s an AI product that is very people-focused … We think AI is a very powerful technology, but we try to make sure we use it to build things that truly are positive for people,” Schneider said.
Key features of Bluesky Attie app:

How to use Bluesky’s Attie app:
Those with beta access to Attie can log in using the same credentials they use for logging into Bluesky, or any other AT Protocol-based social app.
For instance, once users sign into Bluesky and similar tools the AI agent may already be aware of which topics are interesting for them to discuss thanks to gathered data from their Bluesky account and across the larger ecosystem as these apps act as open systems.
Atties allows the usage of free prompts to signal Attie to build an users’ own custom feed similar to chatting with AI chatbots. They can request Attie to only post what they want to see or repost, in effect creating their own personalised social media feed within the app.
In the future, the company also wants to offer Attie inside Bluesky and other AT Protocol apps. It will enable users to vibe-code their own social apps and share them with other users. Attie is currently in private beta, while Bluesky has reportedly been eyeing a monetisation angle for its AI play, through subscription access and paid hosting services for users who want to host their communities on the AT Protocol.
Conclusion:
The launch of Attie by Bluesky is a significant turning point in the evolution of social media platforms with AI era. Attie provides decentralisation and agentic AI, so all users can become masters of their own feeds without requiring specialist knowledge or skills. This model challenges traditional algorithm-actioned platforms by providing transparency, customisation, and ownership to users instead. Such AI-driven tools might herald a new era via social networking, where everything is personalized, and governed by you—not the “free” model of today—becoming a watershed moment in the future of human online interactions.
