I’ve been testing a new PKM tool called Recall AI an what I find really promising is how it’s doing automatic categorization and uses this to detect and show you relations it find in your saved content.

Notebooks in Recall can show you AI generated summaries of articles, PDFs and YouTube videos, the latter have convenient timestamps. Recall also offer a reader mode, where the full text is saved permanently. Unfortunately without highlighting, let alone a Readwise integration.

The Connections tab shows you the themes and topics the AI has extraced for this content.

Test your retention with quizzes

Recall offers a featurs called Quiz, which can auto-generate a multiple choice test based on any give piece of content.

I’ve only been able to do two tests yet, but these were going well and did a great job of showing me things I didn’t memorize.

Connections, everywhere

Augmented Browsing is a brand new feature that offers to detected related themes on every page you’re currently browsing. That is, of course, if you allow the browser extension to read everything you see.

If find this feature very tempting. It happens often to me that I stumble upon some topic that rings a bell, but I’m not sure where to put it. Recall indicates these topics by highlighting them right inside the original web page and offers a popover with the connections it has found in your graph.

Recall can be used for free to save unlimited cards, but the AI features that make the tool really interesting can only be used for 10 items, beyond that a paid plan is required. Pricing is $10 / month when paid monthly or $ 7 / months annually.
