Attie — the standalone Claude-powered assistant from Jay Graber's Exploration Team — launched in March as a way to build custom Bluesky feeds in plain language. This week it added Quests, letting you ask it what's spreading across the open AT Protocol network.

Attie is a standalone AI assistant built by Jay Graber — Bluesky's former CEO, now its chief innovation officer — and the new Exploration Team she leads. Graber and Bluesky CTO Paul Frazee unveiled it at Bluesky's Atmosphere conference in late March 2026 as a way to build custom social feeds by typing what you want in plain language instead of writing feed-generator code. "Show me posts about electronic music and experimental sounds from people in my network," or "Show me people working on agent infrastructure and open protocol design," and Attie assembles a feed to match. Graber has described the experience as feeling "more like having a conversation than configuring software." Attie is its own product at attie.ai — not a feature bolted into the Bluesky app — and it runs on Anthropic's Claude under the hood.
Because Attie is built on the AT Protocol (atproto), the open framework that also powers Bluesky, you sign in with your Atmosphere credentials — the login for any atproto app — and it can work across the shared, open social data of the wider ecosystem rather than one walled feed. That openness is the point of the expansion announced on July 24, 2026: a new feature called Quests turns Attie from a feed-builder into a research tool. With Quests you ask open-ended questions about what's happening across Bluesky and the broader network of atproto apps — nicknamed the Atmosphere — such as what topics are trending, which accounts are influential in a given field or location, and how a piece of news or a conversation is spreading. Graber framed the bet plainly: "Attie's AI is a tool that helps you make sense of the internet," and "our bet is that tools that help people make sense of the world will prove to be more useful."
Attie remains in an invite-only beta, with people pulled from a waitlist at attie.ai over the coming weeks, and it's free for now — though Bluesky has said it has considered charging for it eventually. Treat the specifics here as a snapshot of a product still in beta; confirm the current feature set and access terms on Attie's own site before relying on them.
Attie is a discovery engine: point it at the open social network and it tells you what's trending, who's influential, and how a story is moving. What it deliberately doesn't do is make anything — no post, no video, no carousel, no schedule. That's the clean hand-off. Use Attie's Quests to answer "what is my audience actually talking about this week," then hand the answer to Kompozy to turn it into finished, published content while the trend is still live.
Concretely: Attie surfaces a topic and a few influential accounts framing it. Drop that angle into Kompozy and it generates a full set from the one idea — a Persona Short or Persona HeyGen avatar video, a brand-exact Carousel, Quote Graphics, an X thread and Text Posts, a Blog Article, and an Email Newsletter — all held to one voice by your Persona Brief. Then it auto-captions, reframes per format, and schedules the batch across the platforms where your audience lives: Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, X, Facebook, Pinterest, and Threads, plus your blog and a Mailchimp newsletter, with Direct Connect destinations like Reddit and Mastodon on top. Kompozy doesn't post to Bluesky itself, so the honest split is this — Attie is the open-network research desk, Kompozy is the studio and the distribution. Wire the two together and a trend Attie catches on the atproto side becomes a scheduled content week everywhere else, and with autopilot pointed at your sources, that loop runs on a cadence instead of a scramble.

Announced July 24, 2026, Quests turns Attie from a feed-builder into a research tool. You ask open-ended questions about what's spreading across Bluesky and the wider network of AT Protocol apps — the "Atmosphere" — like which topics are trending, which accounts are influential in a field or place, and how a news story or conversation is moving.
For now it's free and in an invite-only beta, with users pulled from a waitlist at attie.ai over the coming weeks. Bluesky has said it has considered charging for the service eventually, so treat pricing as unsettled and confirm current terms on Attie's site.
No. Attie helps you research and curate — find trends, influential accounts, and feeds — but it doesn't generate posts or publish them. To act on what it surfaces, an engine like Kompozy turns a topic into avatar video, carousels, images, a blog, and a newsletter in one brand voice and schedules them across nine platforms.
