Combines Notion's editor, Obsidian's knowledge graph, NotebookLM's source-chat, and Perplexity's research depth, without the manual setup, source limits, or missing personal context.

Another AI wonder! Haven't tried it yet. Posted here for anybody's thoughts or feedback.

Seems like an anti-Readwise. Instead of reading and annotating with your brain, Recall reads and annotates things for you. I'm not sure how the ghost in the machine is better.

I tried Recall for a few months. It really does a nice job parsing articles and -- even more useful to me at the time -- videos. But I found the interface a little cluttered, so didn't really dig into it. I haven't used Recall for a while, so it may have improved in many ways. But it is not an app I now need. Worth checking out, though.

Wow, I remember Recall as a rather good Windows-based PKM system (well, more of a full-text database). I don't think this is related, however.
