Bluesky’s Attie expands from custom feeds to small social sites
Bluesky has expanded Attie with a builder for small social websites, games and interactive pages described in everyday language. Each project gets a shareable link, and friends can participate using their Bluesky identities. The new tools build on Attie’s earlier custom-feed features. Demonstrations include a game, a posting-personality quiz and an anonymous question page for the team.

Friends can join a site through Bluesky
Bluesky, the decentralized social network, has expanded its AI building tool Attie into small social websites. The October 15 announcement adds games, quizzes, surveys and pages where friends can participate. A user describes an idea in everyday language and builds it with the service, without needing to write code. Each finished site receives its own link that can be shared outside the main Bluesky application.[1], [2]
Projects run on AT Protocol, the underlying technology shared by Bluesky and other decentralized social applications. Participants connect with their existing Bluesky identity to vote, reply to an invitation or sign a guestbook. The wider collection of applications using the protocol is called the Atmosphere. Attie can suggest projects based on public Bluesky profiles, and creators can use their own AI model or open-weight options.[1], [2]
Starter projects include a game and a posting quiz
The team’s Flappy Butterfly example is a game in which players collect likes and avoid hazards while seeking a place on a leaderboard. Poster Alignment Chart asks about ten posting scenarios; after sign-in, it reads the participant’s last 100 posts and compares their self-assessment with the impression drawn from those posts. Ask the Attie Team accepts anonymous questions and sends selected answers back to Bluesky.[2]
Other starting formats include events, journals and question-and-answer pages. Operations chief Rose Wang emphasized connecting projects to Bluesky’s existing network rather than leaving each creation isolated. The network has 47 million registered users. The figure counts registrations, while Bluesky is seeking to renew community participation after some people who tried the service returned to X.[1], [2]
The builder follows Attie’s earlier feed tools
Attie began with custom Bluesky feeds created from natural-language descriptions. Jay Graber introduced it as an invitation-only closed beta in March. The service added tools for turning search results into lists and starter packs in August, then a way to catch up on Bluesky discussions and share a card in early October. The new site builder extends that earlier feed and sharing work into interactive experiences for groups.[2]
