Hello everyone! Paul here—co-founder and CEO of Recall.
It’s been 10 months since our last launch. It’s been an exciting, intense, and chaotic journey getting here (we delayed this launch several times to get it polished!) But now, we’re back with our biggest update yet: Augmented Browsing, Chat with Your Content, and more.
This feature seeded the inception of Recall. PKM has always been a passion of mine, but one question kept frustrating me:
I’d read something online, recognize something familiar, and then waste time searching through my messy notes —only to come up frustrated. I wanted a way to instantly resurface relevant knowledge as I browsed.
Introducing Augmented Browsing—An overlay on your browser that highlights keywords that are stored in your existing Recall knowledge base. This brings utility and real time connections to what has historically been a very passive knowledge management space. It is important to note that it is local first— nothing leaves your device while you browse. Do check out the tutorial of Augmented Browsing in action.
Here’s what’s in the release:
Augmented Browsing – Resurfaces related content from your knowledge base as you browse. Since Augmented Browsing is local-first, our keyword extraction doesn’t rely on an LLM—it’s powered by our own model. We’re constantly refining it to surface meaningful connections rather than just frequent keyword
Chat with Your Content – Our most requested feature! Ask questions and get insights from your saved sources.
Store Full Content – Use Recall as your go-to read-it-later app. Save entire pages and transcripts.
Together with our growing team - Igor, Sanks, Ali & Mason we are focused on a series of features that will continue to bring utility to the knowledge management space, so that you are consistently extracting value from the content you consume. This really is just the beginning for us, we hope this launch resonates with you. Truly excited to hear your candid feedback.
@paul_richards1 I love this tool so much! Thank you Paul!!
Are you planning to offer promo codes for subscriptions?
@paul_richards1 Subscribed!
@paul_richards1 hi. I don’t see where we can get the -25% discount.
Recall
@thefullstack Thats a great question. We store your entire knowledge base locally (in IndexedDB in your browser) - we then do entity extraction on each webpage you browse to and match those entities with ones that are already saved in your knowledge base this way nothing from the webpage is sent to our servers. Hope that makes sense. Please let me know if you have further questions!
@thefullstack @paul_richards1 Is recall selling data, blinded or otherwise, to 3rd party advertisers?
Recall
@thefullstack @snowandcaffeine No, definitely not. That is not our business.
Being a marketer, I actively look out for creative campaigns that describe a service/product so well that it sells automatically without sounding salesy. But it is very frustrating to create a personal swipe file in Google Sheets and then recheck it every time.
I'm super glad that Recall solves this. I simply ❤️️ it.
Now I browse freely, jump to multiple pages, dig down the rabbit hole, and that too without worrying about saving each link in a different sheet.
Thanks, entire Recall Team @sankari_nair @paul_richards1 @mason_hu @igor_gligorevic @jonnotie @thisalihassan , for making browsing efficient & fun. ✌️

@julia_zakharova2 Thanks Julia :)
Recall
@julia_zakharova2 Thank you! We were a bit on the fence with it - really glad you enjoyed it!

Wow, I love how Recall is bringing real-time value to knowledge management with the Augmented Browsing feature! It's great to see how you're making the browsing experience more intuitive by connecting stored knowledge directly to what you're reading. What other types of integrations or content sources are you planning to add next to enhance the browsing experience even further?
Recall
@jonurbonas Thank you so much for sharing! First we will work on supporting more content type (Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Youtube with no transcripts are all in testing) from there we can look at bigger integrations!
Recall
@jonurbonas Hi Jonas, thanks for the question. Current Recall works on most PDFs, Youtube Videos, articles, blogs and most general websites. We are working on adding support for podcasts from Spotify and Apple in the coming weeks. If there is any specific content source that you want you can always submit a request here (https://feedback.getrecall.ai/feature-requests) and we will try add it.

Dejavu? As soon as I saw the name of the product and the video – you guys have my full attention!
Love it – like you also incorporated an editor and quiz AI maker.
Something that stands out from the crowd.
Good job! :)
Recall
@busmark_w_nika Thanks Nika. Dejavu would actually be such a good name for Recall. Will definitely keep that one incase we ever need to change our name.

@paul_richards1 haha, it wasn't meant to be a suggestion :D but could be :D

@paul_richards1 So maybe in the future :DDD
@paul_richards1 Recall is the PERFECT name. It does what it says. "If you confuse, you lose."
Recall
@crsmoore yeah I love the name Recall too. We are not going to change.
@busmark_w_nika @paul_richards1 DejaView

Nice work on launching Augmented Browsing! But how do you ensure the content resurfaced is truly relevant, without overwhelming users with too much information or showing unrelated matches? @paul_richards1
Recall
@zimbra For each of the matches we look at the relevance of the connection with respects to the context of the content. Only highly relevant content gets connection. That said, we are still working on improving the algo used for this matching.

I've been exploring Recall's features, and the concept of building a personal knowledge base from various content sources is fascinating. The augmented browsing feature, which brings up related information as I surf the web, seems particularly useful. However, I'm curious about how Recall ensures the accuracy of its AI-generated summaries. Also, is there a way to customize the organization of the knowledge base to better fit individual workflows?
Recall
@faizanjan_ Hi there, thanks for the questions. Yes you can fully customize the categories that content is saved in. For the ai generated summaries - they are pretty accurate as they are grounded on the original content so it is very unlikely that there is any hallucinations. Would love to hear more feedback from you if you give Recall a try.
Hmm... Using this, I’ll be able to reduce a lot of frustrating tasks where I can't remember things. It’s really impressive how it focuses on meaningful connections rather than just relying on keywords! Congrats on the launch !🎉
Recall
@kay_arkain Thanks Kay. That means a lot as we spent a lot of time trying to get that right. We are also still actively working on it to make it even better.

Ahh, happy to see Recall here! Upvoted! Guys, this is the best AI summariser and knowledge manager.

@sneas Thanks Dimah! Really appreciate it!
