It’s been a big build-up to this moment.
Our #1 most requested feature is finally live! You can now chat with all the content you consume: YouTube videos, podcasts, TikToks, PDFs, your own notes, and much more.
ChatGPT lets you have a conversation with the internet, and that’s powerful. But sometimes, the source matters.
When you’re trying to understand your research, put together a health protocol, or just keep track of your interests — books, recipes, movies — you need something more concrete and more tailored.
With Recall, you can curate your own chat, powered by the sources you define. That could mean easily adding content on the go or bulk importing thousands of pieces from experts you trust (1,000 Lex Fridman interviews or every Lenny's podcast episode) and conversing with their knowledge… or even with your own.
Add in your personal journals, health records, or project notes — and suddenly, you’re talking to a version of yourself who remembers everything.
Why this is a big deal for Recall and a step forward for knowledge management:
Save time: No more digging through scattered notes. Get instant answers with sources referenced. This is what knowledge management has always needed. When you’ve spent hours saving, curating, and categorizing content, being able to access it when you need to is critical.
Think deeper: Our memory is capped, and that’s not a flaw, it’s by design. This lets us go beyond what we can store in our heads. Spot connections you’d otherwise miss. Synthesize information we could never manage alone. This is why we have AI in the first place.
Peace of mind: You know that feeling when you hear a great stat, quote, or tip you never want to forget… so you leave a tab open or drop it into Apple Notes—only to lose it three months later. Now, you can simply save it to Recall. Your memory, backed up and searchable forever.
Thank you so much for being part of this journey. While we still have a long way to go, with hundreds of requests still on our roadmap, today marks a huge step forward for Recall.

@sankari_nair Super excited to finally share this release! Our users have been eagerly waiting for it, and it’s here at last. I’ve been testing the feature over the past few weeks, and it’s amazing how much of the content (YouTube videos, podcasts, blogs, etc) we consume ends up forgotten - until now. With this, you can ask a question and instantly have those long-lost pieces resurface to give you the answer.
@sankari_nair Hey! Congrats on going live, upvoted, we launched yesterday as well and your feedback would help. Love the product by the way.
@sankari_nair The 'curated chat powered by your own sources' concept is brilliant - finally solving the problem of having great content saved but never being able to find it when you need it. Congrats on the launch and excited to see where Recall goes from here!
Recall
This is a game changer for me from a software engineer perspective. Now all the nice articles I've read don't just have to be as part of long lost bookmark folder somewhere. Now they’ll in one place: searchable, chat-friendly, and ready to be referenced while I’m browsing the web!
Recall
@mikr13 Thanks Mihir, its been amazing having you join the team. Very excited to be working together.
Does it also have access to my browsing history and sources I read/watched online? Or does it abstract only saved sources?
Recall
@busmark_w_nika Hi Nika, great question! Recall does not have access to your browser history. If you install the browser extension, when you invoke the extension on a webpage, it will get access to the content of that page and allow you to summarize, chat and save the content into your knowledge base.
@paul_richards1 Interesting. I mean... sometimes I catch myself reading something (I am in a flow state, so often it doesn't come to my mind to invoke something). On the other hand, it is good like it is, people do not like unsolicited access to sources :D
Recall
@busmark_w_nika Yeah there is a bit of a trade off. Maybe at some point we can have an option that users can invoke to save every page automatilcally for a limited browsing session. Its quite a good idea! Thanks Nika.
Recall
It’s been an incredible journey bringing this feature to life, and I’m thrilled about the ways it will empower Recall’s users to explore their knowledge base more deeply and push the boundaries of learning. Huge congratulations and thanks to the team for the hard work that made this possible, it’s been a true pleasure to be part of the journey.
Recall
@mason_hu it's been amazing having you on the team Mason, only 6 months in and you have had such a massive impact 🚀

@paul_richards1 Thank you very much!
Recall
@heypaus No problem, please let us know if you have any other questions or any feedback for us.
I've been a fan of "collecting" notes, articles, files, etc. for many years, and throughout that time, I've struggled with selecting and using the right application(s) to accomplish the goal of having a "second brain". I started to think that this "anatomic appendage" (much like our real brain) is actually divided into different parts that have different functions. For me that broke down into 3 areas: (a) FILES that are really reference materials that you would only rarely need to refer to such as bank statements, insurance policies, and the like, - things you would store in a file cabinet; (b) INFO SNIPPETS that are quickly captured, usually short items that may be either temporary or long-term and either referred to frequently or need to be accessed quickly like vehicle license plate numbers, checklists for repetitive tasks, list of medications for doctor visits, etc. - things you might store in a small notebook you carry with you; (c) PERSONAL ENCYCLOPEDIA that is a collection of articles, posts, videos, podcasts, etc that represent the learning and reference section of your plan for lifelong learning.
The first two areas have always been easy for me to using FILES in Google Drive, and INFO SNIPPETS in Google Keep. But it's that 3rd area that has been my nemesis and the subject of many changes over the years (Evernote, Nimbus Notes - now Fusebase, UpNote, etc.) until I discovered Recall. Full stop. Recall solved all the problems I was having with those other note-takers, including capture, actually reading, summarizing, categorizing, filing items, and searching/accessing items in my personal encyclopedia. It was really good at almost all of those functions, and now with enhanced search and encyclopedia AI chat, it IS "the answer" at least for me!
Recall
@john_ohman1 Wow John, reading this just makes our day! It is so great to hear that Recall is getting closer to solving that problem for you. It is exactly why @paul_richards1 ideated Recall in the first place. Our goal with this launch was to really elevate the utility you get out of Recall - awesome to hear that it is resonating.
Recall
@john_ohman1 thanks for sharing this John. Its amazing to hear feedback like this from a user.
Recall
Big day for us! 🚀 I have been using Recall every day for my own work and this update is huge. chatting with my notes feels way more natural than i expected already found stuff i forgot i even saved. curious how other people end up using it.
Recall
@thisalihassan Amazing to have been working with you Ali and all that you have contributed to making this launch happen.
Agnes AI
Ok this is wild—being able to actually chat with stuff I’ve watched or read is a gamechanger for my messy brain, ngl. You folks realy nailed it!

Congrats on the launch folks!!!
Recall
@francescod_ales Thanks so much Francesco. I have been a fan of your YT channel since the early Keep Productive days so it means so much to get a message from you.
@sankari_nair I have been continually delighted with Recall though this release really blew me away. You've managed to nail 8 of the top 10 things on my wish list. So much h repo management to change for the better with this release. Great appre nation for the developer's efforts.
Recall
@sankari_nair @gene_bellinger Thanks Gene. Let us know if you have any feedback, feature requests or issues!
@sankari_nair @mikr13 Expect to chat with Sanks early next week. That should give me time to absort the marvelous new features.
@sankari_nair @mikr13 I just tripped out realizing that every chat I have in Recall is now in the context of the entre repo which overcomes the problem of not being able to teach Gemini anything because if forgets everthing everytime I leave a chat. Awesone!!!!!!
Recall
@sankari_nair @gene_bellinger Amazing to hear this feedback from you Gene. We really appreciate all the input/feedback you have been providing us the last months.
@sankari_nair @paul_richards1 this morning's adventure in Recall was even more amazing. Will do some videos next week.
Recall
@sankari_nair @gene_bellinger So happy to hear that Gene. Very excited to see your videos.
What To Build
Tried it ...awesome concept! Really love the idea.
Really liked the way you implemented the graphs
Excited to share that we’re launching on the same day!
Recall
@niladri_hazra Thanks Niladri! All the best for your launch too.
What To Build
@paul_richards1 Thanks man
Congratulations on such a solid launch!
Recall actually sounds super useful for organizing and, most importantly - using saved content instead of letting it rot in bookmarks.
I’m curious, though - how well does Recall handle messy, mixed sources?
Recall
@sanskarix Hi there, thanks for the comment and question. It works well on all the sources that we support. We transform the data into the same text embeddings so there shouldn't be a difference in quality across different data types. You can find all the source that we support here: https://docs.getrecall.ai/supported-content/all-supported-content
I'm obsessed with these new style apps where you just toss articles and videos to them and they summarize them. Recall is fantastic. I love that they also make connections between the articles and videos and things you save to it. I love this app so far.
Recall
@iamjmw Thank you so much Joseph! I do hope you have a fantastic experience with us. Let us know how it goes.
Recall
@iamjmw Thanks for the amazing post Joseph. Hope you carry on loving using Recall. Also do let us know if you have feedback on how we can continue to improve.
Congrats @sankari_nair and Recall team. After demoing Recall today, already seeing great FTU value. Onboarding was really smooth, informative, and helpful to help me navigate the basics with the YT tutorial, and linking me to the chrome extension. Already saved a number of YouTube videos and had my first chat with the content, and quite happy with the results. Just one small UI issue I had... I didn't realize that I had to type the tag directly next to the @, so I included the @ in the prompt area where it says "chat with your knowledge base". The input disappeared into the internet ether, and I waited a moment thinking there was latency, but then figured out I needed to add my tag to the @ section above the prompt. It would have been nice to either have Recall notice my intention and still allow the chat to proceed, or send me an error to let me know to retype the prompt with the correct tagging procedure. Otherwise, a very smooth and satisfying FTU product experience!
Recall
@sankari_nair @jorgeclarktan Thanks a lot for this feedback Jorge and glad the onboarding went (mostly) smoothly. You should be able to @ content as you would expect within the prompt input. There must have been a glitch. We will look into it tomorrow and try to debug it.
@sankari_nair @paul_richards1 update - I loved my initial experience so much and got so much value chatting with my first Recall knowledge base, I already upgraded to the Plus plan this morning :) Thinking about the work and personal use cases and excited for all the possibilitlies!
Recall
@sankari_nair @jorgeclarktan Glad to hear it Jorge.
Really interesting / congrats on the launch - as it relates to replicating my tonality for content / ideation etc - is this where I would create those things or would I just interact with resources to get top level insights?
Recall
@dzaitzow it depends on the type of content. For some content if you've saved detailed insights & more data. The chat can go in depth on those topics but for others where the information is sparse you might see less or top level info only.
@mikr13 Interesting!
Recall
@dzaitzow Hi David, thanks for the question. You can prompt the LLM for the tone that you want. There is not specific option for it.
I am not fully sure I understand the second part of your question.. But yes you can interact with all the content that you have ever saved so you can ask a question and get a response based on past content (videos, podcasts, blogs etc) that you have saved into Recall

super useful for researchers (always forgetting about citations!
Recall
@hanna_z absolutely. Let us know if you have any feature requests, suggestions, feedback or issues! 💯
Recall
@hanna_z Thanks for the comment Hanna. How were you managing your citations before?
AutoAE
@paul_richards1 I used many things - Zetero, EndNote, Bookmarks(LOL) etc. Convinency has been a top issue (I can see Zetero was seeking for a best UX for this, but often encounter unknown errrors). Looking forward to you being the next!!
Recall
@hanna_z Thanks for letting me know Hanna.
Honestly I like the idea!
I have not heard of you product since today and it's really great

Excited to be launching on the same day as Recall! 100% agree that the source matters, especially since there's only so much context that can be stored in a quick bullet point. I'm always having to comb through my history to find some article that I read weeks ago so having something to help me recall information is great!
Are there ways to categorize or tag specific content in order to bucket them into their own respective summaries?
Recall
@lienchueh Hi Lien, thanks for the comment and question. Yes, there is a tagging system, the AI will automatically assign a tag but you can also add your own tags. When adding new content, the AI will try re-use existing tags so you can keep related content together.
I've tried a whole LOTTA organisation systems and second brains, this is the only one I actually use.
It's so easy to add content and now with AI search features, it's a lot easier to find it.
It's early days for this product and I would already give it a 8.5/10.
There are a few quirks, but the devs are very responsive and the product is evolving very quickly.
My brain is finally organised :)
Good Job @Recall Team

@smartsovereign Hi Demetre, thanks so much for such a nice comment. Can't wait for the day where you will be giving us a 10/10 ;)
