@kevin@zhiqi_shi The integration of AI with visual tools is a brilliant idea. I love how it simplifies complex information and makes it more engaging. Congrats!
@kevin@javalion Thank you for your support, and I'm sorry for the misunderstanding. We've now adjusted the related text, and it should be clearer. I hope Recap can bring you a wonderful experience.
@shahza1bmushtaq Hahaha 。 Thank you for you reply! i'm really glad you noticed the special support for Youtube.
This is mainly because our team spends a lot of time learning on Youtube. In addition to the user experience itself, it can also be considered a form of self-expression.
@dineshan_sithamparanathan Thank you for your support!
We think that a lot of people learn and gather information form Youtube, and using a Chrome extension is one of the best way to collect that learning or reading infos. It really enhances the user experience.We hope Recap can help with that!
Hi, team. I've tried Recap and I have to say it's a brilliant idea! There is an issue when I use it to understand a PDF of my product. It seems like cannot understand the pic in a doc very well, right? Will it be supported in the future?
@jackyliu Thank you so much for your positive feedback! We're really glad to hear you find it a brilliant idea. Regarding the issue with understanding images in PDFS, you're right that there can be limitations in how well those are interpreted.
In this version, we're more focused on providing capture content of web links. Of course, enhancing image recognition capabilities is also in our plans for the future, please stay tuned for our upcoming releases.
This is a fantastic approach to knowledge visualization! The combination of AI-driven analysis with multi-perspective questioning could really transform how we process and retain information. The 600+ upvotes in just a day show I'm not alone in seeing the potential here. The 25% launch discount makes it even more appealing. As someone who deals with lots of complex information daily, having AI help create visual insights could be a game-changer for both learning and presentation. Would love to see how it handles different types of content sources and its visualization capabilities for technical vs. non-technical material.
@xi_z Thank you for your kind words! You've captured the two main differentiators between Recap and other knowledge tools. Wish you have a great experience here.
@xi_z Thank you for your enthusiastic feedback! We're thrilled to hear that you see the potential in our approaches.
We're working on diverse content support and will keep you updated. Hope you have a great journey here.
@xi_z Thank you, Xi! The structured summaries for different types of sources vary, which is why Recap offers multiple expert perspectives and different types of visuals. We will continue to optimize these expert perspectives and make the best visuals even smarter.
Recap creates dynamic visuals like mind maps to help users interact with info better. Wow, so interesting! It makes knowledge easy and learning enjoyable.
@mrkelly Yes, visualization not only enhances learning efficiency but also makes the learning process much more enjoyable. I hope Recap brings you a wonderful experience.
Hi team, congratulations on the launch! Recap is a powerful and practical learning tool. It’s clear that your team has made great efforts. Good luck for your launch!
Finally someone made an app to help human connect with AI on a cognition level. I remember reading that our brain operates at the speed of 10 bit/s, which is surprisingly low. Our brains needs help from apps like recap to cope with AI. Great work and congrats on the launch!
@qyang_pio I'm really appreciate your kind words! It has supplemented our experiential views on Visuals learning with some underlying principles. Special perspective! That's really very helpful!
Congrats!! Recap seems like a fantastic learning product that makes our learning content more organized and systematic in a more intuitive and efficient way.
Hi Zhiqi, awesome idea cut to the precise needs for summarization of all sources. I wonder can you define the purpose of summarization you are using for? Like can you use it for competitive analysis?
@zoeyhuang Thank your for your appreciation. We believe Recap is best suited for educational and content creator use cases at this moment. However, we've noticed some professional users, such as business analysts and lawyers. We're still debating whether to seriously support these professional use cases within Recap or to develop a separate product to meet their needs better.
Added the extension and from the first minutes of working with there is an interest in learning it. Super cool mindmap for visuals, it's definitely easier to memorize tons of information. I was surprised to get a video transcript for my language even though I didn't see it on the list originally. Will definitely look into it further. You've done maximum useful thing guys!
@artyom_zhuravlev Thanks for your kind words! Our aim is to help users improving knowledge acquisition efficiency through visualization. We hope Recap provides you with a great experience.
@artyom_zhuravlev I'm really appreciate your feedback! It's awesome to hear you're enjoying the extension and finding the mind map feature helpful. Since it's just the first launch, we're committed to making improvements as we go.
We're excited to introduce recap to everyone. We hope it can be a valuable tool in your work, studies, and daily life. We'll keep improving and iterating on the product.
Hey, huge congratulations on the launch! I’m really excited about Recap’s unique approach—it digs deep into multiple sources and simplifies everything into mind maps, timelines, and tables. This is a massive win for anyone battling information overload. Can’t wait to see what future integrations you have in store. Well done, and best of luck to the entire team!
@amiaomomo Yes, you can use Recap to build a structured understanding of information. Personally, I use Recap to help plan my running training, and I find it very useful.
@mingyu_wapoo Thx. Diving from the perspective of good questions and utilizing visualized outputs can significantly enhance the user experience and efficiency in absorbing knowledge.I hope Recap provides you with a great experience!
@mingyu_wapoo We truly appreciate your comment! Recap is designed to address those multi-channel knowledge absorption challenges. Our AI-powered visuals can help simplify learning across various platforms.
Feel free to share any specific topics or features you'd love to see in Recap.
Why when I upload a pdf is it not creating any visuals? I am getting a summary at the top and the expert questions just no visuals. The free version says 3 visuals a day. Thanks!
@ella_dadan Thank you for your feedback. Could you try clicking on the expect-specific questions and see how it works? If it doesn't work, please don't hesitate to reach out to me again.
