Feedly helps you keep up with the topics and trends that matter most to you, without the overwhelm. We'll show you how to get started.

1. Find and organize the right sources

The best way to start keeping up with what's important to you is to add your favorite sources to your Feedly.

Start by adding sources you already know and trust

A source is a place where information comes from. When you add sources to your Feedly, you'll be able to monitor them all in one place.

By sources, we don't just mean news sites. Sources include:

Trade publications

Follow everything from major industry publications to niche magazines.

Blogs

Get new posts from industry thought leaders, medium authors, or personal interest blogs.

News publications

Follow major news publications or local news sources.

Research journals

Keep up with the newest literature in your area of study. You can follow PubMed searches, or track regulatory updates on clinicaltrials.gov.

Keyword alerts

Monitor a specific keyword and refine your search to follow the results.

Twitter (new!)

Pull content from Twitter accounts, hashtags, Lists, and searches into your Feedly.

Newsletters (new!)

Get email newsletters delivered to your Feedly so you can declutter your inbox and read without distractions.

Reddit (new!)

Get posts from subreddits and searches in your Feedly feeds.

RSS feeds

Subscribe to the RSS feed of any source or publication.

YouTube

Subscribe to YouTube channels or playlists and get new videos in your feeds.

Podcasts

Follow podcasts and never miss out on new episodes of your favorite shows.

See the complete list of sources you can add to your Feedly.

Add sources and organize them into feeds. Feeds are a way to organize your reading by topic, project, or industry.

To add a source to your Feedly:

Search for a source you know and trust, and click 'Follow' to add it to your feeds.

Click '+' in the left navigation bar, and then search for TechCrunch to add it to your feeds.

Choose a name for your new feed that makes sense to you.

Choose a name for your feed based on the project, topic, area, or client.

That's it! You now have a new feed with a new source. Add as many sources you want to that feed, or create more feeds.

Enterprise users can use Team Feeds to organize your team's reading by topic or project.

First, add all the sources your team members follow to keep up with industry trends.

To name your Team Feeds, choose a taxonomy that makes sense for everyone. If you're in the finance industry, for example, you could name your Team Feeds like this:

  • Finance Business
  • Fintech
  • Cryptocurrency
  • Tech
Create a Team Feed for cryptocurrency sources.

Discover new sources: Search for topics and skills

Once you've added some of your favorite sources to your Feedly, you can use the Discover page to find the best sources for any topic. Here's how:

  • Click '+' in the left navigation bar.
  • Search for any topic.
  • Sort by Best Match, number of followers, articles per week, or relevance to find the right sources for you.
Discover new sources by searching for topics you want to keep up with.

Search by Best Match to sort sources based on a balance of popularity and relevance.

Relevance is great for finding niche industry experts, because it considers how focused a source is on a topic, instead of how popular it is.

2. Train your AI research assistant, Leo, to filter out the noise

Finding the gems in a sea of articles can be overwhelming and time-consuming. That's where Leo comes in.

Leo is your personal AI research assistant. You can train Leo to automate your knowledge-gathering process so you can dig deeper into the topics and trends you care about, and filter out things you don't.

Unlike opaque algorithms, you're in control of Leo. You'll always know why content was prioritized or filtered out, and you can easily make changes. You make the rules, and Leo does the work.

Leo is available for all Pro+and Enterprise users.

Leo's core skills

We've taught Leo to read and analyze information so he can declutter your feeds and save you time. You can prioritize topics, trends, and keywords of choice, deduplicate repetitive news, mute irrelevant information, summarize articles, and so much more. Leo can also expand your knowledge-gathering by searching for topics and trends across the entire web, finding articles for you even from sources you don't have in your Feeds.

Topics

You can ask Leo to prioritize information based on company names, products, specific keywords, and more.

Business Events

Leo prioritizes product launches, funding events, partnerships, and leadership changes.

Mute Filters

Leo removes content mentioning certain keywords or topics.

Like Boards

Leo prioritizes articles similar to the ones you save to your Boards.

Deduplication

Leo filters out near-duplicate content from your feeds and keyword alerts.

Summarization

Leo extracts key sentences from long articles.

Define Priorities for Leo about what you're most interested in

Use Priorities to define what's relevant to you. Leo can recognize topics, trends, or keywords, recognize specific events, and more.

To create a Priority, select one of your feeds and click 'Train Leo'.

Click 'Train Leo' to get started.

Here are some examples of what you can ask Leo to prioritize in your feeds

  • Topic: prioritize mentions of topics, keywords, people, companies, products, etc.
  • Like Board: prioritize based on articles you've saved to Boards
  • Business Events: prioritize product launches, funding events, partnerships, etc.
  • Security Skills: prioritize articles related to critical software vulnerabilities, malware threats, threat actor groups, the MITRE ATT&CK framework, and specific vendors. This Priority is available to Feedly for Cybersecurity users.
  • Biopharma Skills: prioritize insights about topics like diseases, genes, and conditions, or research your competitors.

Once you've created a Priority, you'll find new articles that Leo catches in your Priority tab or in the 'Leo Priorities' section in the left navigation bar.

Find prioritized articles in the Priority tab when viewing a feed.

You can add multiple Priorities to a single feed or use AND, OR, and NOT to combine Priorities.

Combine multiple Priorities together like Credit Karma AND Funding Event AND Product Launch.

Use Mute Filters to stay focused

Mute Filters can be your most powerful tool to reduce noise and create a focused setup in your Feedly. Here's how to do it right:

When you create a Mute Filter, Leo mutes specific keywords and removes all mentions of those keywords from your feeds, temporarily or permanently. You can mute things like:

  • Companies
  • People
  • Topics
  • Authors
  • Sites

To create a Mute Filter, click 'Train Leo' and choose 'Mute Filters.'

Create a Mute Filter from the 'Train Leo' menu.

See all the ways you can use Mute Filters, or check out some examples of Mute Filters you can use to find the signal in the noise.

Our team of engineers has created specific Mute Filters so that Leo can recognize and mute certain topics.


For example, the market reports Mute Filter is a powerful tool to remove market reports, so that you can focus on only the topics and trends that matter to you, without the noise.

Mute market reports in your Finance Business feed.

We're constantly teaching Leo how to recognize new concepts.

Remove repetitive content with near-exact deduplication

Leo's deduplication skill removes duplicate articles from feeds and keyword alerts. When you have a Pro+ or Enterprise account, this Leo skill is already activated for all of your feeds and keyword alerts. It runs in the background, removing any near-exact duplicate articles.

When Leo removes duplicates, you will see a small gray box at the bottom right-hand side of your feed that shows you how many duplicates have been removed.

You'll see a small gray box at the bottom right-hand side of your feed that shows you how many duplicates Leo has removed.

You can see the total number of duplicates removed in the 'Analytics' tab of your feed.

View the 'Analytics' tab to find out how many duplicates Leo has removed from a feed.

Near-exact deduplication means that Leo removes articles where the content has an overlap of 85% or more. Short articles with barely any content (less than 200 characters) can't be deduplicated right now (we're working on it!).

Find out more about deduplication details, and why you might still see duplicate articles in your feeds in our knowledge base.

Carefully curated content is only as valuable as what you do with it. Break down silos in your organization by sharing high-value information across teams.

When you invite your team to Feedly, it becomes a powerful platform for collaborative knowledge sharing and insight gathering.

Team Feeds can become your team's go-to place for monitoring content related to your industry and areas of focus. Team Boards can become repositories for must-read articles so that everyone's informed. Here's how to get started.

Create libraries of high-value content with Boards

When you find content that's valuable, save it to a Board for future reading. Save it to a personal Board, or add content to a Team Board to start creating libraries of must-read content for your team.

Team Boards are the private spaces where you and your team can save the best content you discover on the web.
