Short answer

How can I use AI to manage my Feedly unread articles?

Your agent scans your Feedly categories and tags to organize your feeds. It can then mark articles as read once it has processed them, leaving you with a clean workspace. You'll see exactly how it handles your news below.

Where your news lands.

Organized feed states.

The agent moves your articles into these specific outcomes.

CLEANUP

Cleared unread feeds

The agent uses mark_articles_as_read to wipe out everything it has already processed. You're left with a fresh start.

ORGANIZED

Categorized topics

The agent uses list_categories to see how your feeds are structured. It ensures your news stays in the right buckets.

TAGGED

Filtered by tags

The agent uses list_tags to find specific subjects. This helps it group related news together automatically.

HUMAN

New items to read

Anything the agent hasn't touched stays unread. You decide which of these remaining articles actually deserve your time.

The workflow

What your AI does when news arrives.

Instead of clicking every single article, your agent handles the heavy lifting of sorting and clearing.

  1. Map your feeds

    The agent looks at your existing Feedly setup to understand your current organization.

  2. Identify subjects

    It checks your tags to see how different news stories are grouped.

  3. Process content

    The agent reads through the articles to extract the information you actually need.
