Bluesky has launched Attie, AI assistant app powered by Anthropic’s Claude, but users are not happy

Yesterday, Jay Graber (Former Bluesky's CEO) introduced Attie – the first agentic social app on Atproto.

(currently as an invite-only closed beta)

It should allow users to:

– create custom social feeds and, eventually,

– build their own apps on the open AT Protocol (atproto)

– it’s similar to Grok in that it reads and understands posts

AND that's where users of Bluesky started criticising Jay, that the platform started mirroring X.

Bluesky management thinks that thanks to this step, they will be able to collect 100M+ users (although they now have around 40M).

I thought that this project would do better (honestly), but for the last year and a half, there wasn't any significant growth, just 2 changes (1. They raised $100M Series B, and 2. changed the CEO).

Does anyone else use this platform? How do you perceive integrating AI into it?

I understand they don’t want to miss the train, but I don’t think this will solve their problems. Many of their users reported "Just Edit Button– that's all we want," when they presented Attie. It indicates that even their own users can against this step.
