Release: August 30, 2025 // Improved Performance, Bug Bashes & Customer Enablement

👋 Hello Everyone

This release includes several incremental improvements. With the increased volume of customers following the big Chat with Knowledge Base launch, we’ve prioritized bug bashes, smoother workflows, and stronger customer enablement. We also spent time reviewing the roadmap and prioritizing upcoming features. The team is energized, excited, and committed to helping you consistently extract more value from your knowledge base.

What’s New

Overall Performance

Faster sync performance – Dramatically improved initial sync speed for large knowledge bases (approximately 6x faster).

Audio & Transcription Improvements

• Spotify and Apple Podcasts integration fixed.

• Multi-language bugs resolved – Fixed an issue where transcribed content would sometimes mix languages in both the Reader and Chat.

Chat with Knowledge Base

• Improved UI – Multiple enhancements to make conversations more intuitive.

• Smarter context retrieval – Significantly improved how we surface relevant information when asking questions about groups of cards or tags. This fixes the issue where answers previously favored just one or two cards.

• Precise reference highlighting – Clicking on a reference in a chat answer now opens the referenced card and highlights the exact location of the information.

• Personal notes integration – You can now reference your own notes directly within the chat interface.

• Cancel chat streams – New ability to stop chat responses mid-stream if you need to make corrections.

Reader & Import Enhancements

• Copy full text – New ability to copy the complete text content from the Reader.

• Improved file handling – Fixed edge cases where markdown files with special characters in titles couldn’t be imported.

Bulk markdown import

You can now drag in multiple markdown files at once without needing to zip them first.

Search & Navigation

Enhanced search history – Redesigned to maintain all previous search states when navigating back.

New Tutorial Series

We’ve heard your feedback that our tutorials were too fast-paced and not detailed enough. We’re launching a new, more comprehensive tutorial series—the first one is now live - My Top 5 Daily Use Cases for Recall.

What We’re Working On

A Better Reading Experience

We’re developing a comprehensive update to transform the Reader into a full-featured read-it-later application, including highlights with comments.

A Better Mobile Experience

There’s a lot to be done to improve the mobile app, with the biggest pain point being consistent sharing to Recall. Upcoming improvements include:

• Faster sharing with immediate save to Recall (without requiring content to load).

• A cleaner UI with many small but impactful wins (e.g., PDF zoom, adjustable font size).

Bulk Tag Management

While there are many ways to add content to Recall, we need better ways to manage it once it’s there. The next step will be adding the ability to apply or remove tags from multiple cards simultaneously in the card list view.

Chat Improvements

Chat will continue to be a primary focus, with upcoming enhancements such as custom prompts and improved workflows to save chat content directly to a new notebook.
