USER REVIEWS

Less Setup, More Learning.

Join over half a million people using Recall as their AI knowledge base.

Been using Recall for a week and quickly came to the conclusion that I no longer needed Evernote or Apple Notes. The tag and search features are powerful and revolutionize how I save what I need to keep for future reference.

Recall is great because it can take long YouTube livestreams that don't have transcripts and summarize them. You can ask a question in the chat and it will pull relevant results from different videos and documents you've added previously.
