Build Pocket workflows with AI Agents

Pocket was once the go-to app for saving and reading must-see articles and videos—but what if your saved links could do more than sit in a personal queue? By integrating Pocket with Runbear’s AI agent, your team unlocks powerful automation: real-time article summaries, shared knowledge, and actionable content—directly inside your team’s Slack or Microsoft Teams workspace. Let’s explore how combining Pocket and smart AI agents turns saved reading into collective team insight, efficiency, and collaboration.

About Pocket

Pocket was a popular content curation service that empowered users to save articles, videos, and web pages for later consumption across devices. Its core features included simplified reading formatting, offline access, tagging for organization, and personalized recommendations—making it especially valuable for knowledge workers, marketers, and research-driven teams. Teams often used Pocket to collect relevant industry news, share informative articles, or organize research materials, but always on an individual basis—collaborative workflows required manual sharing and coordination. Despite its shutdown in July 2025, Pocket’s legacy lives on as a trusted way for teams to manage web-based knowledge—now supercharged through AI agent integration with Runbear for smarter, shared team workflows and insights.

Use Cases in Practice

Connecting Pocket with Runbear’s AI agent opens up possibilities well beyond what Pocket offered on its own. Imagine your whole team getting a Slack summary every morning of the key articles someone saved. Or, rather than everyone reading the same long-form piece, the AI agent instantly delivers a concise summary when asked, streamlining your team's research and decisions. With topic-driven curation, your team never misses important reads related to your business goals—think a marketing team instantly staying up to date on industry news, or a product team tracking the latest trends. And when teammates have questions, the AI agent can search your entire shared Pocket library, providing quick answers sourced from trusted, team-approved content. These AI-powered workflows eliminate time wasted on manual sharing, copy-pasting, and endless scrolling, so your team can focus on action. For teams seeking similar automation around news or data, explore use cases like our Slack Daily Digest chatbot, or AI Article Summarizer for Slack—the same smart logic powering better teamwork with Pocket.

Pocket vs Pocket + AI Agent: Key Differences

Integrating Pocket with Runbear’s AI agent fully transforms team collaboration. Instead of individual reading lists and scattered article sharing, your team gains an AI-powered workflow that automates summaries, streamlines knowledge curation, and makes insights from Pocket instantly accessible within your primary team chat. The leap is from manual copy-pasting and siloed reading to real-time, AI-supported knowledge sharing and action—right in the flow of work.

Implementation Considerations

Adopting Pocket with Runbear requires teams to consider several practical factors. First, initial setup involves connecting the team’s Pocket accounts and defining knowledge sharing settings—removing any individual silos while maintaining privacy controls. Teams will need a brief onboarding for Runbear’s AI agent features, particularly for triggering summaries, scheduling digests, and using chat-based search commands. Change management is important: shifting from personal reading habits to collaborative knowledge flows means updating team routines and making space for regular check-ins or discussions based on AI-shared content. Data governance—deciding which articles are shared or summarized and ensuring sensitive material isn’t surfaced unintentionally—should be outlined clearly. Security permissions must be managed with least-privilege principles. While setup is straightforward, true ROI comes from team buy-in and adoption of AI-powered workflows, so ongoing training, feedback loops, and clear ownership of Pocket integration tasks ensure lasting value.
