Colibri introduces an open-source chat platform built on the AT Protocol, offering communities real-time communication tools while ensuring true data ownership. Users can engage in chats, voice/video calls, and forum discussions without their content being trapped on proprietary servers. This approach directly addresses long-standing privacy concerns in digital communication.

Built on the AT Protocol, which boasts over 40 million users, Colibri provides decentralized communication capabilities without vendor lock-in. The Bluesky team's creation allows communities to scale from small groups to large networks. Custom roles and moderation features help maintain order across different sized communities, making it adaptable for various organizational structures.

The platform plans to implement private communities once the AT Protocol supports private data. Colibri represents a shift toward open standards in digital communication, positioning itself as a privacy-focused alternative to mainstream chat platforms that control user data and restrict portability.
