Bluesky's AI tool Attie now lets users build games and apps
Attie, the AI tool from social network Bluesky, can now generate small social apps such as games and polls from a text prompt. Each app gets its own web address that can be shared with others.
Attie, the artificial intelligence tool from social network Bluesky, can now be used to build small social apps, including games, polls and dashboards, and share them as standalone websites. The technology outlet The Verge reported the update.
Attie launched earlier this year as a way to use AI to create personalized feeds. Its capabilities have now been expanded.
How it works
An app is created by typing a prompt. The Verge reporter Jay Peters said a simple poll about Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue took a few minutes to generate.
Every app receives its own link on the attie.site domain, and the page carries an attribution to its creator at the bottom.
What Bluesky's chief says
In an interview at the TechCrunch Disrupt technology conference, Bluesky CEO Toni Schneider said Attie can be thought of as "social vibe coding or vibe coding for your community." Vibe coding refers to building software by describing the desired result to an AI.
Examples
The Attie website currently highlights several examples: "Flappy Butterfly," a clone of the game Flappy Bird, a drum machine, a quiz, and an idle clicker game about a celery man.
The reporter described the apps he tried as fairly lightweight novelties, though he said he liked the drum machine.
