Just what I needed. I can get a very detailed summary for training videos and coding tutorials that summarizes the content in such a precise fashion that I can follow the instructions later without rewatching the video. Of course, you can jump directly to any video section that you do need to rewatch with just a click. I also like the auto-tagging, and auto-organizing of my saved content. I'm really enjoying Recall!

The extension is great (for the limited time it works), however the free plan is advertised to have "Unlimited in-app knowledge cards" and say that "A knowledge card is a concise summary". After 10 uses to extract the concise (not detailed) summary from youtube videos it just asks for money and stops working. So there is nothing unlimited about this.

Exceptional tool to summarise webpages, videos, pdf, and lots of other stuff. From a great video summarizer it evolved into a full-featured knowledge base, with graph view of connections, clipper of full content of webpages, and much more. It actually made me save a lot of time by summarising things, and it also built an organized and easy to access knowledge base.
