WIREUNWIRED BRIEF

Open social network Bluesky announced a new expansion for its Attie platform, allowing everyday creators to build websites, games, quizzes, and polls. Revealed at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 by CEO Toni Schneider, the tool aims to let users construct interactive group experiences that previously required software developers. Attie initially provided artificial intelligence technology for building custom social feeds.

With the update, users can bring their own AI model or use open-weight options to create projects linked to their AT Protocol identity. Bluesky COO Rose Wang noted that the tool connects creators directly to the network's audience of 47 million registered users for built-in distribution. Schneider described the feature as collaborative "vibe coding" for communities, contrasting with solo AI programming tools.

The user-created experiences operate on the same decentralized AT Protocol that powers Bluesky and other apps in the Atmosphere ecosystem. Bluesky plans to use Attie and upcoming protocol support for private data—currently in alpha testing and targeted for a year-end rollout—to reinvigorate network activity and encourage smaller, friendlier social interactions.
