Tailor My News vs Feedly
Feedly is a powerful RSS aggregator. Tailor My News is an AI career briefing service. Here's how they compare for staying informed in your industry.
TL;DR
Feedly lets you build and manage your own news feeds from RSS sources. Tailor My News writes personalized AI briefings for your career, delivers them to your inbox, and reads them aloud. If you want a hands-off, career-focused news experience, TMN is the better fit.

Where Feedly Excels
Feedly is one of the best RSS readers available, and for good reason:
- Powerful RSS aggregation — follow any publication, blog, or source via RSS with granular organization into folders and boards
- Team collaboration — share feeds, annotate articles, and build shared intelligence boards with your team
- AI feeds for any topic — Feedly's Leo AI can track topics, companies, and trends across your feeds
- Deep integrations — connect to Slack, Zapier, Microsoft Teams, and other workflow tools
Where Feedly Falls Short for Career News
Feedly is a tool that requires you to do the work. For career-focused professionals who want briefings, not a feed reader, the gaps are clear:
- You curate your own feeds — Feedly gives you the infrastructure, but you have to find sources, organize them, and read through articles yourself. There are no AI-written briefings.
- Not career-focused — Feedly tracks topics, not career trajectories. It won't connect news to your role, industry, or professional goals.
- No audio briefings — no way to listen to your news during a commute or workout. You must read everything on screen.
- No email delivery — you have to open Feedly to consume your feeds. There's no morning briefing in your inbox.
- Setup overhead — building a good Feedly setup takes time. You need to find RSS feeds, organize them, and tune Leo's AI filters.

The Bottom Line
Feedly is excellent if you want full control over your information diet and enjoy curating feeds. But if you want AI-written career briefings delivered to your inbox and ears every morning — without the setup — Tailor My News is purpose-built for that.
