Attie works by turning a written prompt into a lightweight interactive project. Creations can be published with their own links on the attie.site domain, and the pages identify the person who made them.
Examples highlighted by Bluesky include a Flappy Bird-style game called “Flappy Butterfly,” a drum machine, a quiz and an idle clicker game centered on a celery character. The platform is designed for relatively small experiences rather than large standalone applications.
The expansion gives Attie a broader role inside Bluesky’s ecosystem. Instead of focusing only on custom feeds, the platform can now be used to make social experiences that people can share with specific groups or wider audiences.
“Vibe coding today is kind of a single-user, solo experience,” Schneider said. “And what I want to be able to do is build together or build for a group of people, and that’s what this product does.”
Projects created with Attie are tied to a user’s AT Protocol identity. Attie can also suggest ideas based on information available through a user’s public Bluesky profile.
Creators can use their own AI model or choose from open-weight options when building with Attie. The finished sites and games can then be shared through Bluesky’s network rather than existing as isolated projects.
Bluesky COO Rose Wang said that distribution is one of the main problems Attie is meant to address.
“Everybody is building … But the big question is: Who’s using the thing you’re building, because we haven’t solved that problem with distribution,” Wang said. “What makes Attie so interesting is that it comes with the Bluesky distribution, so it doesn’t stand alone.”
The company is also positioning Attie as a place to test AI-powered product ideas outside Bluesky’s main app. The service operates on the same AT Protocol that underpins Bluesky and other decentralized social applications.
Bluesky says the network has 47 million registered users. The company is looking to developers and smaller communities as areas of focus as it expands the broader platform.
Private data support is also in alpha testing. Schneider said it has been the most requested feature from developers, with a broader rollout planned by the end of the year.
“There should be lots and lots of these fun, small social experiences for your friends,” Schneider said. “We don’t all have to go communicate with the entire world all the time.”
