Turn meetings and Slack chatter into recaps, decisions and tasks.

What is Recal?
Recal is an AI chat bot tool that turns meetings and Slack chatter into recaps, decisions and tasks. Recal captures meetings, uploads, links and Slack threads, then returns structured recaps with summaries, decisions and action items. Vision AI reads screen shares and slides that audio-only transcription misses.
Recal is an AI meeting and conversation assistant built around one idea: capture the discussion, then hand back the parts that matter. It records and transcribes meetings, processes uploaded audio and video files, accepts pasted text or a URL, and works inside Slack to summarise threads. Output arrives as structured recaps with summaries, decisions and extracted action items rather than a raw transcript dump. The angle that separates Recal from plain transcription tools is visual understanding. When a recording includes a screen share, presentation, whiteboard sketch or demo, Recal analyses the visuals alongside the audio, so context that never gets spoken aloud still lands in the recap. Recordings can also be queried afterwards: users ask questions about a specific meeting and get answers drawn from the captured content. In practice the product covers four entry points. A browser extension joins Google Meet, Zoom and other video calls, or records an in-person conversation straight from a laptop or phone. The upload page accepts MP4, MOV, WAV and MP3 files. A text-to-tasks page converts messy messages, emails and notes into structured to-dos. The Slack bot summarises threads and channels, with Linear, Notion and Jira on hand to receive the extracted tasks. Recal suits small teams and professionals who live in calls and chat: product managers, founders, engineers and consultants who need shared context without someone volunteering to write notes. It competes with note-taking assistants and standalone transcription services, and its case rests on breadth (meetings, uploads, links, Slack, pasted text in one place) plus the vision layer. Teams that only need a transcript of clear English audio will find simpler tools adequate; those chasing decisions and tasks across mixed sources get more value here. Pricing runs from a free tier to $14 and $29 monthly plans, with retention windows that lengthen on paid tiers.
