Recall started as a simple place to save the things you cared about. It has grown into something much bigger! This release marks that shift with the launch of our Use Case Hub, alongside the groundwork for a more integrated search experience.
Recall Use Case Hub
We get asked all the time "what should I actually use Recall for?" and now there is a proper home for the answer. What started as a great place to save your interests from health research and recipes has now evolved into a powerful research, writing, AI, and knowledge engine. The use case hub (site for a high-level view & docs for step by step guides) is a growing library of guides showing how real people put Recall to work, from grounding deep research and writing in your own sources to building a movie recommendation tracker. This is a resource we will continue to invest in, so please let us know which guides are genuinely useful, which are missing, and where a deeper dive would help.
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.
This is an exciting, utility-focused release. We completely rebuilt social saves, added a new table view for your library, expanded AI language support to 62 languages, and improved the AI behind tags, connections, summaries, and quizzes. Don't miss the release notes, which have more detail and information on what's coming next. There is also an incredible customer story and an open AMA with a Recall power user on building a second brain, running through the end of the week.
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.

With the power of GPT4, Recall summarizes, organizes and connects all the interesting information you come across every day. Whether it's a podcast, blogpost, news article or recipe - Recall makes it easy to store and access it later.
We've just shipped one of our most requested features. With Listen Mode, any content you save to Recall (articles, podcasts, YouTube videos, PDFs, web pages) can now be summarized and read back to you as audio. Pick from our library of built-in voices, or clone a voice of your own.
I cloned my dad's voice so he can read me my morning podcast summary. Check us out in action below!
Hello! In the last month, we've added several new sources that Recall supports. You can find the full list of everything we support here.
Everything you save is automatically summarized and organized for you, and the best part is you can chat across all of it. Whether you're drafting an email, finding recipe inspiration, or just using Recall as your everyday chat, your sources come first and the internet second. Save more, and watch your own knowledge resurface when you need it.
We ve just released an update to the browser extension.
The extension now opens in the browsers side panel, which means it will no longer cover part of your search. The extension also remains open as you search, so feel free to switch between tabs and pages as you re doing your deep dives. Plus, we ve integrated Listen Mode into the extension. So now, you can listen to your content in that familiar voice you ve grown accustomed to over the past week!
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.
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.
