Bluesky's Answer to Algorithmic Feeds? Just Ask AI.

Bluesky's Answer to Algorithmic Feeds? Just Ask AI.A new agentic app called Attie lets users describe their ideal social experience and builds it for them — no code, no manual curationKen YeungMar 29, 2026ShareCredit: ScreenshotBluesky has introduced an agentic social app on the AT Protocol called Attie. It’s a standalone experiment that lets users create custom feeds by describing in plain language what they want to see. Announced at the ATmosphere conference, Attie is currently invite-only and appears to be Bluesky’s inaugural foray into AI.Jay Graber, who recently stepped down as Bluesky’s chief executive to become CIO, writes in a post that “AI is undermining human agency at the same time it’s enhancing it,” citing the spread of AI slop that continues to undermine what people can trust on social media. “The signal is getting harder to find exactly when it matters most.”She states that major platforms “aren’t trying to fix this problem. They’re using AI to increase the time users spend on-platform, to harvest training data, and to shape what users see and believe through systems they can’t inspect and didn’t choose.”Attie is taking an antithetical approach, leveraging AI to benefit users, not the technology. That means, “you can use it to build your own feeds, create software that works the way you want it to, and find signal in the noise.”Thanks for reading The AI Economy!
