Bluesky is the latest social media platform to play its part in the AI chatbot ring. Bluesky, but especially its chief innovation officer Jay Graber and his new Explorations team, created a new AI assistant called AT, designed to help users create custom feeds. Graber calls AT an “agent social app” built on its open-source framework called the AT Protocol.
To use AT, users can give natural language prompts to generate a social feed without knowing code. On the AT website, examples include prompts like “Show me electronic music and experimental sounds from people in my network” or “Builders working on agent infrastructure and open protocol design.”
Graber described Etty in a blog post as “more like interacting with software than configuring it.” “You describe the type of posts you want to see, and the coding agent creates the feed you describe.”
Graber said AT is a separate app from BlueSky and users don’t have to use the new AI assistant if they don’t want to. However, since AT and Bluesky were built on the same framework, this could mean that there will be some cross-app implementation between the two or another app built on the AT protocol. AT is currently available on an invite-only closed beta, but in the meantime anyone interested can sign up for the waitlist on its website.
