 Bluesky is the latest social media platform to throw its hat into the AI chatbot ring. Bluesky, but specifically its chief innovation officer Jay Graber and her new Exploration team, built a new AI assistant called Attie that's designed to help users create custom feeds. Graber called Attie an "agentic social app" that's built on its its open-source framework called the AT Protocol.
To use Attie, users can punch in prompts in natural language to generate social feeds without having to know how to code. On the Attie website, examples include prompts like, "Show me electronic music and experimental sound from people in my network" or "Builders working on agent infrastructure and open protocol design."
Attie
"It feels more like having a conversation than configuring software," Graber described Attie in a blog post. "You describe the sort of posts you want to see, and the coding agent builds the feed you described."

Gateway out, moon base inJust a few weeks after overhauling its Artemis program, NASA this week announced even more changes to its plans for putting astronauts back on the moon. Most notably, the space agency is abandoning the lunar Gateway project, which was intended to be the first ever space station orbiting the moon. Gateway, an international collaboration, wasn't just going to support exploration of the lunar surface, but deep space missions too. But the writing has been on the wall for some time; in the Trump administration's proposed budget cuts last May, Gateway was among the programs selected for the chopping block. Now, NASA is officially putting it on "pause" and plans to build a $20 billion moon base instead.
"NASA is committed to achieving the near-impossible once again, to return to the moon before the end of President Trump's term, build a moon base, establish an enduring presence, and do the other things needed to ensure American leadership in space,
