Mark items as “read” and auto-move them to an archive so the main feed stays focused only on unread or active content, while still retaining full access for AI chat and search.

Implementation Suggestions:

Tri-State Read System:

Unread (default)

In Progress (optional, time-based or manual)

Read (auto or manual mark)

Auto-Archive Toggle: When an item is marked “Read,” have an optional setting to auto-archive it.

Archived Tab / Smart Folder:

Maintain a full index of archived items accessible via search or filters.

AI still uses archived content as part of its contextual database unless manually excluded.

AI Smart Recall:

When chatting, users can toggle whether archived items should be included in the AI’s memory pool.

This prevents feed clutter while maintaining long-term cognitive utility—critical for your workflow where past insights may be relevant to future synthesis.
