The problem it solves

You save interesting links in a chat channel meaning to read them later, but they pile up and get buried under other messages. Moving them into a proper reading list by hand is one more chore you keep putting off.

Who it fits

Anyone who collects articles and links in a personal chat channel and wants them automatically saved for later reading.

How it works

  1. On a schedule, the system checks your chat channel for new messages
  2. It filters out anything that isn't a link
  3. It checks your reading apps to skip links you already saved
  4. New links are automatically saved to your reading apps
What you get

Links saved for later without you lifting a finger

Every link you share in your chat channel gets saved automatically to your reading apps so you never lose track of it.

What you get

An updated reading list with every new link automatically saved.

What you need

A chat app bot, and accounts with Hoarder and Readeck.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
