Easily track key business events like funding events, product launches, or partnerships.
Industries are changing at a faster pace than ever. Keeping up with new threats and opportunities can be overwhelming and time-consuming.
Today, we’re excited to announce a new Leo skill that lets you easily track key business events like funding events, product launches, or partnerships.
We have trained Leo to detect and understand funding events. This means that you can now ask Leo to read your tech, business or industry-specific feed and prioritize articles related to funding events – saving you a tremendous amount of time.
Track funding events in your feeds
Product Launches
We have also trained Leo to detect and understand product launches.
Track product launch announcements in your feeds
Analysts and marketers can now train Leo to read their trusted industry publications and alert them when competitors launch new products in their space.
Partnership Announcements
Finally, you can also easily prioritize the fraction of articles referencing partnership announcements.
Track partnership announcements in your feeds
You are In Control
Business Events become even more potent once you combine them with other Leo skills.
For example, you can train Leo to prioritize articles referencing a product launch (business event skill) and related to #artificial intelligence (topic skill).
Track funding announcements related to #artificial intelligence
Continuously Learning
You can use the Leo prompt or the “less like this” down arrow to correct Leo when the event detection is incorrect. This feedback helps make Leo continuously smarter.
Tell Leo when he has detected a wrong event so that he can learn
Trained across 24 industries
Different industries use different vocabulary to describe these business events so we trained Leo across 24 different industries.

Our focus is to simplify how you consume information every day. We help you find and connect to all the sources you need. The next step is giving you a simple, effective way to organize your sources by topic, project, industry, client, or passion.
Being able to re-organize these sources as your needs evolve is an important aspect of having control over the signal-to-noise ratio in your Feedly. One of our goals for 2017 is to make re-organizing sources easier, faster, and more data-driven.
We started this journey by reaching out to the community and listening to your feedback. Thank you to the 27,000+ people who participated in the Organize survey by telling us how we could improve the experience. Here are some of the most popular requests from the survey:
Visibility into broken sources and publishing frequency
Ability to sort and filter feeds
Show personal reading statistics
Editing single sources and bulk operations to move or unfollow sources
00 — Design Direction
Based on the survey data, we decided to center the new organize experience on 3 features:
Show a bird’s-eye view of your sources using filters for source activity (lots of updates, inactive, or “dead”) in a specific feed or by searching for a source by name
Surface metadata to see how useful each source has been to you recently. In the first version we’re focusing on the frequency of updates and percentage of updates you have read.
Make it easy to act on this metadata: select multiple sources and move or unfollow them
01 — Filter sources
During our research we found that on average most of you follow about 75 sources organized into 10 feeds. At the same time some users have 20,000 sources and more than 200 feeds.
We had to find a way to enable you to manage a large number of sources as easily as just a few. We decided to go with a list of all your sources along with some reading statistics. This list, combined with a powerful filter, should solve two big needs expressed in your survey responses: 1) to find sources that are either dead or too noisy, and 2) to see what feeds the source belongs to.
We also created some shortcuts for the most-used operations like finding dead or dormant sources.
In the new user interface, you can filter sources by activity and by the feeds they belong to.
02 — Reading Statistics and Source Status
The ultimate goal of the new organize UI is to help you optimize your signal-to-noise ratio. By reviewing your personal reading statistics, you can make informed decisions about the sources you follow. You will see 2 metrics to keep things simple: how often sources are updated, and how many of those updates you read.
We believe these metrics are correlated. If the feed is getting hundreds of new stories and you’re reading just a few of them, this is a good indication of where the “noise” is coming from.
03 — Batch Operations
Now that you know where most of your stories are coming from and how you consume them, the next step is to take action. Our gut feeling (validated by the survey data) is that the most important actions are re-organizing your sources and feeds and unfollowing inactive or dead sources.
In the new Organize experience, it’s easy to move multiple sources at once. You can also group sources into multiple feeds. Lastly, you can unfollow multiple sources at once by selecting them and clicking “Unfollow.”
Next Steps
Soon we will push these changes to everyone who signed up for early access. After the early-access period ends, we will activate the new Organize experience for all Feedly users. In the meantime, we would love to hear your feedback on this new design.
Please leave us a comment below — we’ll write you back.
We live in an age of information overload. Today’s boards launch is about you taking control of the narrative to get more out of the stories you read on Feedly.
Feedly is home to a vibrant community of experts, students, and trailblazers. We all have our own reasons for reading what we do. Maybe you want to gain a deeper understanding of a topic, or discover something new.
Whatever your motivation, the power of information lies in your ability to harness it. Today we are sharing three new features we hope will make your Feedly experience even better: Boards, notes, and highlights.
With our vibrant community in mind, we set out to build new features that would make it easier and more meaningful to read in Feedly.
As you save more stories, your Boards become libraries of the most important stories you find on Feedly. Everyone can create new Personal Boards. Feedly Teams users will see separate lists in the left navigation for Personal and Team Boards.
Want to get started right now? Here are 8 ways to use Boards to streamline your curation process.
How to Save a Story to a Board
Boards are for saving and organizing stories. All Feedly plans (Basic, Pro, and Teams) can save stories.
Click on the star on any story to save it. If this is your first time using Boards, we will ask you to create one.
When it comes to naming your Boards, try to keep a singular focus. This will keep you organized by your specific projects, clients, brands you monitor, or other important tasks.
pro tip
Save a single story to multiple Boards. In the example above, a story about marketing tactics is saved to both the “Marketing & Growth” and “Social Media” Boards.
Adding Notes & Highlights
Imagine you’re reading a story, and a phrase sparks an idea about a client or a business opportunity. Feedly Pro and Teams users can enrich stories using notes and highlights.
If you are part of a Feedly Teams plan, your teammates will be able to read your notes and add their own.
Highlight the most important passages to make it easy for your colleagues and other executives to scan through stories. Since stories saved to Boards never expire, you’ll be able to revisit these notes and highlights in the future.
Shared Team Boards
We’ve seen that active knowledge sharing can drive tons of value for your team. By creating shared Team Boards, you have a central place to store those gems you find and see what your teammates have saved.
Say goodbye to clunky email chains and spreadsheets. With Team Boards you have the additional option of sending email roundups to teammates as well as executives outside your team and even external clients. Read more about the benefits of Feedly Teams.
To help you get started, we reviewed the Boards of some of the smartest industry analysts, researchers, and marketers. Here are some of their best practices that might inspire you: 7 Great Board Examples.
Save From Anywhere
Easily switch between devices. The Feedly mobile apps (for iPhone or Android) keep your content synced in real time.
You can save stories while browsing the web on desktop or mobile. Add the Feedly browser extension and you can save a story in two clicks. When you go back to your Boards on Feedly, the story will be right where you saved it.
This Medium post is now saved to my “Entrepreneurship” Board. Browser add-ons are also available for Safari and Firefox.
Start a one-month free trial and invite as many teammates as you like. With Boards, you and your team can stay ahead of changes in your market, move faster than competitors, and plug knowledge gaps in your organization. We’re happy to work with your team through the one-month free trial and beyond.
Among the team here at Feedly, we use Boards every day to track mentions of our brand and share stories on topics such as machine learning, sales, and company culture.
Q: Can I save to Boards on my phone?
A: Yes. You can read, save, and share on mobile and desktop. If you’re reading on the Feedly mobile app, tap the icon to save. You’ll be able to save the current story to one or more of your Personal and Team Boards.
A: Yes, Feedly Pro and Teams users can use all the same features on mobile.
Q: Can I keep using Read Later?
A: Yes. Read Later is still there. You can save stories to Boards and Read Later for an even more customized Feedly.
Q: How are Boards different from tags?
A: We heard from users that it would be useful to be able to privately share content with teammates. Boards felt more like a central hub with shared access to allow for team curation. Tags didn’t meet the needs communicated to us by the Feedly community. Given that this is an area where we are going to invest a lot, we decided to change the terminology to have the right foundation in place.
If you were using tags, all of your tags and the content associated with them are available as private personal Boards.
Q: How many Boards can I create?
A: Feedly Pro and Teams accounts have unlimited Boards. Basic accounts can create up to 3 Boards. Feedly is proud to be supported by subscriptions to our premium feature set. Compare the different features here.
Q: Is there a tutorial for adding notes and highlights?

Many of you rely on feedly to discover the content that matters to you – the gems that help accelerate your research, marketing and sales. We just rolled out a new version of feedly Pro which lets you do more with your content.
Notes and Highlights
Reading shapes what you know, who you are, and how you think. Reading is your silent teacher and mentor. With the new highlights feature, you can easily save the magic moments when you connect to new ideas – and come back to them more easily.
Notes and highlights are available on the Web today and will be rolling out next week on iOS and Android.
If you are not interested in using the new notes feature and would like to save the space at the top of your stories, there is a preference knob in your preferences page to turn this feature off.
Better WordPress Integration
If part of your workflow is saving excerpts of the best stories you discover in your feedly to one of your WordPress blogs, the new feedly Pro will save you a lot of time.
Simply click on the WordPress icon in the share toolbar and feedly will launch the WordPress PressIt window with the story you are reading. Quickly pick a picture, a category, or a tag, add your point of view and click on publish!
You can also personalize the excerpt that gets associated with the story by selecting a snippet of text before clicking on the WordPress icon.
WordPress is continuously improving their PressIt feature so we highly recommend upgrading to WordPress 4 if you want to benefit from the latest improvements.
IFTTT and Zapier
The new feedly Pro also includes a better integration with IFTTT and Zapier. This new version integrates with those platforms in real-time. For example, as soon as a story is saved to one of your personal knowledge boards (the new name for tags), all the recipes and zaps which are bound to that event are fired in real-time. We also improved the logic for image selection for recipes which require an image.
Faster Experience
We are working continuously behind the scenes to optimize feedly and add the hardware needed to keep feedly fast and boost your productivity. Here is a blog post about the performance optimizations we are currently working on.
Thank You!
Thank you for your backing: we are very grateful to be funded by our customers and to control our destiny.
