You know the frustration of giving your AI the same instructions over and over. No em dashes, no unnecessary colons, more professional please. Well, those days are over! A persona is simply a set of instructions you give Recall once that tells it how to respond. Think of it as a consistent role, a consistent tone, and a consistent set of rules it follows before it generates anything. You set it once, and it just works from then on. Open the Recall Global Chat and click on the icon in the top left-hand corner to create your first persona.
This update is packed with improvements across Recall, the big one being multi-select, so you can now export and chat with several cards at once. Worth reading the notes in full. There are a good number of fixes in here that should make everything run smoother.
Enablement
We've been putting Claude Opus 4.8 and GPT-5.5 through their paces for research and writing inside Recall. All the details of the three-prompt test for research writing and recommendations are in our blog or watch our co-founder Sanks put them both to the test in our video walkthrough.
Hello everyone, a few simple yet impactful updates to Recall, with more to come soon.
New
Group your home page by time:
Organize your cards by when you added or updated them, so it's easier to pick up where you left off.
Save from Apple News:
You can now save and read Apple News articles in Recall.
Passwordless sign-in with a verification code:
You can now log in using a one-time code sent to you, instead of relying only on a password. This makes signing in faster and means you don't have to remember or reset a password to get back into your account.
You'll likely forget 90% of the content you consume within a week. Recall summarizes online content, connects it in a knowledge graph and resurfaces it on a schedule tailored to your learning curve, helping you remember the information you care about.
Go beyond your brain’s limits. Chat with all the content you read, watch, listen to, or take notes on. Add content on the go or import thousands of videos, podcasts, and more—all saved to your self-organizing knowledge base. Your memory, searchable forever.
The pop-up browser extension is back! It was a tough decision, but we've kept the strongest features from the side panel so you get the best of both worlds. See what else is new below.
Hello @everyone!This week we focused on making it easier to get help and find answers. Feeling stuck? Ask chat for help and you'll get answers directly from Recall's help docs. We also brought Claude Opus 4.8 to Max, launched a comparison hub, and started a Reddit community. Thank you to everyone who joined the AMA. It was a very warm welcome to kick us off. We're also digesting all of our feedback from the Recall 2.0 form. If you haven't already shared your comments, please do, as we'll be using this to help improve and decide what's next.
Claude Opus 4.8 is now live for Recall Max users.
Max subscribers now have access to Anthropic's latest and most capable model. You'll get sharper, more thoughtful responses when you chat with your knowledge base. We're still busy working on head-to-head comparison content on which model to use when. More to come here.
It's been a month since the launch of Recall 2.0. We've taken some time to rest and recover, while bashing bugs, smoothing out the experience, and figuring out what's next. Help shape what's next for Recall - check out our "What's Coming" feature to share your input.

AI leveled the playing field. Intelligence has been commoditized. We believe the edge is your knowledge. Recall 1.0 was a place to store that knowledge. Summarized, organized and connected. Recall 2.0 turns that knowledge into your edge. AI grounded in everything you've saved and written. "Condense my research, compare new studies, find the exact clip in my podcast." to “Pick a movie based on what I love” Talk to your knowledge, the internet, or both. You pick the model. API & MCP included.
Ever read something and think, 'I’ve seen this before'—but can’t remember where? Augmented Browsing resurfaces related content from your Recall knowledgebase, turning passive browsing into active discovery. Join 200K+ nerds and elevate how you consume content.
