What is Bluesky?
What is Bluesky?
Bluesky, which was created by former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, is built on a decentralized network, meaning no single entity controls the platform. This provides users with greater freedom and control over their content, ensuring a more open and transparent social media experience. It was an invite-only social network until February 2024, but now it’s open to anyone who wants to sign up. As of June 2024, it’s amassed nearly 6 million users–and just keeps growing by the day!
It functions much in the same way that X (Twitter) does, you can click a Post symbol to write and share 300 characters and include photos, and users can reply, repost, and like posts.

How does Buffer’s AI Assistant work with Bluesky?
How does Buffer’s AI Assistant work with Bluesky?
Like our other channels, Buffer’s AI assistant can be used to help suggest new ideas or your refine your posts. But it’s entirely optional. Your posts are not automatically generated, changed, or tweaked by the AI. The AI Assistant is a standalone feature — Buffer is not an AI tool, and all our core features (posting, scheduling, planning, and more) aren’t AI-powered.
Does Buffer use my data to train the AI?
Does Buffer use my data to train the AI?
We use OpenAI’s Large Language Models to provide AI-powered responses and assistance. If you use AI Assistant to generate ideas or refine a post, the text you enter into the assistant will be shared with OpenAI. No other information (your account details, media files, or any other part of your post or work in Buffer) is shared.
