Bluesky Built an AI Assistant That Writes Your Custom Feeds For You

Bluesky just made it way easier to curate your own corner of the internet.

The platform’s chief innovation officer, Jay Graber, and her newly formed Exploration team have launched an AI assistant called Attie. It’s designed to help users build personalized social media feeds without writing a single line of code. And honestly, it sounds like a pretty clever approach to a problem a lot of people don’t even realize they have.

Custom Feed Building Without the Coding Headache

Right now, creating a custom Bluesky feed requires some technical know-how. You need to understand how the platform’s algorithms work, what parameters to set, and how to actually configure everything. Most regular users simply don’t bother.

Attie changes that completely. Instead of wrestling with settings and syntax, you just describe what you want in plain English. The AI handles everything else behind the scenes.

Graber shared some example prompts on the Attie website that show how natural this feels. You could type something like “Show me electronic music and experimental sound from people in my network” or “Builders working on agent infrastructure and open protocol design.” Attie reads your request, then builds a working feed that matches what you described.

“It feels more like having a conversation than configuring software,” Graber wrote in her blog post. “You describe the sort of posts you want to see, and the coding agent builds the feed you described.”

That’s a big deal. Feed customization has always been one of Bluesky’s strongest selling points over other platforms. But the barrier to entry kept most users from actually using it.

What Makes Attie Different From Other AI Chatbots

Most AI assistants you’ve seen lately are general-purpose tools. They answer questions, write emails, summarize documents. Attie is something much more focused.

Graber describes it as an “agentic social app,” which is a fancy way of saying it doesn’t just talk back at you. It actually takes action. Specifically, it writes and deploys the code needed to generate your feed. You’re not just getting advice about how to build something. You’re getting the finished product.

Attie runs on the AT Protocol, the same open-source framework that powers Bluesky itself. That shared foundation is important. It means Attie can potentially talk to Bluesky and any other app built on the same protocol, opening the door to some interesting cross-platform possibilities down the road.

So if other developers build apps on the AT Protocol, Attie’s feeds could theoretically work across all of them. That’s a much bigger vision than just a handy Bluesky tool.

Is Attie Part of Bluesky or Something Separate?

This is where things get a little nuanced. Attie is technically a separate app from Bluesky. Graber was clear about that. Users don’t need to touch Attie if they’re happy with Bluesky the way it already works.

But the two products share the same DNA through the AT Protocol. That shared infrastructure suggests some level of integration is likely as both products mature. Think of it less like a bolt-on feature and more like a sibling app with a very specific job.

The Exploration team Graber leads seems designed exactly for this kind of experimental work. Building new tools on top of the AT Protocol framework without disrupting the main Bluesky experience. That’s a smart way to try new ideas without alienating the existing user base.

How to Get Access Right Now

Attie isn’t fully public yet. It’s currently running as an invite-only closed beta, so most people won’t be able to jump in immediately.

The good news is that Graber’s team has opened a waitlist. Head to the Attie website, drop your details, and you’ll get notified when a spot opens up. Given how quickly Bluesky grew over the past year, there’s likely real appetite for a tool like this.

For now, Bluesky users can keep building feeds the traditional way while the Attie team works out the kinks. And those who never bothered with custom feeds before? This might be exactly the nudge they needed to finally try it.

The idea of describing your perfect social media experience in plain conversation and actually getting it feels refreshingly simple in a space that often overcomplicates everything. Whether Attie delivers on that promise at scale remains to be seen, but the early concept is genuinely exciting.
