Recall

What is Recall?

Recall is an AI knowledge base that lets you save information from the internet and other sources, organize it, and then ask questions using your saved content. The product positions your personal knowledge as the “edge,” aiming to help you build an AI that knows what you already collected.

Recall combines a capture workflow (saving links, notes, and documents) with organization tools (smart tags and linked saves) and AI features such as summarization and quizzes. It’s designed for situations where you want answers that draw from your own stored sources and related material.

Key Features

• Save web content and sources into one knowledge space (e.g., articles, podcasts, videos, PDFs) so you can return to them later.
• Smart tags for organization, where tags get smarter over time based on your stored knowledge.
• Automated linking across your saved items (“augmented browsing”), connecting related ideas across everything you’ve saved and surfacing them as you browse.
• AI summarization for saved content, with summaries available to read or listen to via voice you can clone.
• Time- or format-focused AI experiences, including short-form and multiple-choice-style question formats shown in the product’s examples.
• Spaced repetition quizzes (“turn your forgetting curve into a learning curve”) to support long-term retention.

How to Use Recall

1. Start by creating an account and using the “get started” flow.
2. Add content to your knowledge base by saving items in one click (the site shows examples including YouTube, podcasts, books, blogs, Wikipedia pages, and PDFs).
3. As you save, use the organization layer (smart tags) and rely on automated connections that link related saves.
4. Use the AI features to summarize saved items and to generate quizzes for review on a spaced repetition schedule.
5. Revisit your saved knowledge later by searching or asking follow-up questions that reference what you saved.

Use Cases

• Building a personal research library: Save articles, Wikipedia pages, videos, and PDFs on a topic (e.g., sleep and circadian rhythm) and then use summaries and connections to review quickly.
• “Augmented browsing” while learning: As you browse, Recall automatically links related saves so you can connect a new idea to notes and sources you already stored.
• Preparing for exams or long-term study: Save lecture materials and reading, then use spaced repetition quizzes to review with a personalized schedule.
• Managing recurring life topics with a journal: Save entries and related media (e.g., sleep journal notes plus podcasts and online sources) and then check those saved items when questions come up.
• Turning thought leadership into retrievable knowledge: Save thought leadership articles and educational videos, then use AI summaries to condense and revisit key points later.

FAQ

• What kinds of content can I save? The site examples include online sources, podcasts, YouTube videos, blogs, Wikipedia pages, and PDFs.

• Does Recall summarize saved content? Yes. The page describes instant summaries that can be read or listened to using a voice you can clone.

• How does organization work? Recall organizes your knowledge with smart tags that get smarter over time.

• Is there a study or review feature? Yes. It includes automated quizzes on a personalized spaced repetition schedule.

• How does Recall connect related ideas? The site describes “augmented browsing” where saved items are automatically linked to related ideas and resurfaced as you browse.

Alternatives

• Note-taking apps with tagging/search (e.g., general-purpose knowledge tools): These can store links and notes, but may require more manual organization and may not provide the same AI-driven summarization, linking, and quiz workflow described for Recall.
• AI chat tools that use user-provided documents: Some tools support Q&A over uploaded or provided content; the difference is whether they provide the same capture + smart tagging + augmented linking experience.
• Learning platforms with spaced repetition: If your primary goal is review, dedicated spaced repetition tools may focus more narrowly on flashcards/quizzes, while Recall also emphasizes saving and connecting a broader set of source material.
• Research workflows using bookmarks and reading lists: This approach can help you collect sources, but it typically lacks Recall’s described automated summarization, linking across saved content, and quiz generation based on the knowledge you saved.
