Bluesky Expands Its AI Assistant Attie into an Open Social Research Tool
Bluesky has enhanced its AI assistant, Attie, by introducing a new feature called Quests. This allows users to conduct open-ended research across the Bluesky social network and any app using the AT Protocol. The update aims to help users identify trends, influential accounts, or other relevant information within this part of the open web. Bluesky has seen slower user growth in recent months after a significant increase last year when its registered accounts doubled from 20 million to 40 million by October and now stand at around 45.6 million. The company is focusing on developing tools like Attie, which could help grow the platform's user base and potentially lead to monetization. While currently free, Bluesky has considered charging for the service in the future. Jay Graber, former chief innovation officer of Bluesky, emphasized that such tools can reduce misinformation by empowering users with research capabilities.
