AI Library Insight for Android
Cubox Android 8.0 on Google Play now supports AI Library Insight.
Cubox AI Library Insight is designed for efficient “read-it-later” users. It deeply analyzes everything you’ve saved across devices, transforming your reading list into a searchable, insightful, and ever-inspiring idea library:
- Ask any question on the Explore page to find answers across all your saved content
- Rediscover long-forgotten articles
- Dive deeper into content to support your writing and thinking
- View related content recommendations on the article insight page to build your personal reading map
To learn how to make the most of Library Insight, check out our previous iOS guide: 6 Ways AI Can Revolutionize Your "Read It Later" Experience
Currently, Android does not yet support auto-insight generation or push notifications, but you can always ask a question manually or browse your recent search history.

Import Your Pocket Collections to Cubox
The read-it-later app Pocket has officially announced its shutdown.
If you’re a current or former Pocket user, you can now import your saved items into Cubox and continue your reading journey.
Visit the Cubox web app on desktop 👉 https://cubox.cc/my/settings/import-export Upload the .csv file exported from Pocket to begin the import.
If the Pocket CSV file can’t be selected, try refreshing the page a few times and try again. Your imported items will be placed in a separate Cubox folder, reflecting their read or archived status in Pocket, and content parsing will begin automatically.
