Recall

AI-ASSISTANTS
Velocity5.0

AI-powered knowledge tool that summarizes and organizes online content into a connected knowledge base.

Recall becomes an official Claude connector, so your saved library feeds Claude's answers.

◆Current state
Recall is a read-later and knowledge library that has spent the autumn opening itself to outside AI tools. The 2 November release gave chat and the MCP server exact-phrase search and whole-card reading; the 12 November release gets Recall listed as an official connector inside Claude, with ChatGPT named as next. The same release opens a mobile app beta, makes chat citations point to the exact passage used, jumps PDF search results to the right page and writes overviews for connections from the user's own cards.
◆Where it's heading
Recall is turning from a place you visit into a source other assistants read from. Each release since October has improved retrieval quality for both its own chat and connected apps, and the stated next step is a write connection so Claude can save and edit cards, not just read them.
◆Prediction
Expect the ChatGPT listing and a write-capable MCP in the next releases, followed by the mobile app leaving beta.

    Recall listed as an official Claude connector; mobile beta opens

    Recall's library is now one search away inside Claude's connector list, after months of users wiring up its MCP server by hand. Chat gets passage-level citations and type-ahead messaging, and a write connection is announced as in progress, which would complete the move from read access to two-way sync.

    EPUB books, multi-image cards and OCR on social posts

    EPUB support brings books into the same library as articles and videos, and text inside social-post images becomes searchable. It extends August's OCR work to the feeds and carousels where much of that content lives.

    OCR turns images into cards; extension reaches Safari and Edge

    ⚡ SPARK

    The release that lets paper into the library: OCR converts photos, screenshots and handwriting into real cards, while the extension expands to Safari and Edge and chat begins suggesting questions from saved content. It completes the input-side arc that social saves and file uploads started earlier this summer.
