Bluesky's Attie expands from feed-builder into an open research tool across the AT Protocol

TechCrunch·medium signal

Attie, launched March 2026 to let non-programmers design their own algorithms and custom feeds, now adds 'Quests' — open-ended questions about news, trends, and conversations spanning Bluesky and any AT Protocol app in what Bluesky calls the Atmosphere. Users can research trending topics, surface influential accounts by field or location, and trace how conversations spread across the decentralized network. It remains in beta with waitlist invites rolling out, currently free though Bluesky has weighed charging.
