Recal

What Recal is

Recal turns Slack messages, meetings and other supplied material into structured recaps, decisions and tasks. It can capture meetings or make recaps from pasted text, voice memos, file uploads and URL links. Video-frame analysis adds context from screen shares and presentations alongside audio transcription. The listed integrations include Slack, Notion and Linear; Google Calendar sync is available on Pro and Premium. Recal says it reads Slack messages in channels where a user invokes /recal, not private DMs, and does not store full message history. It says meeting content is not used to train AI models, data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and users can delete their data. Uploaded originals are deleted after processing, while transcripts and summaries are retained. Uploads can be up to 2GB, and text-to-tasks accepts up to 50,000 characters. Starter has limited async recaps and no meeting recaps or team workspaces. Pro costs $14 a month; Premium costs $29 a month.

Who it suits

Recal is aimed at distributed teams working across time zones and preferring asynchronous communication. It may suit teams that want meeting or message content organized into recaps, decisions and tasks.

Limits

Starter includes 30 minutes of async recaps per month, up to 3 async recaps per month, 3 Q&A questions per recap, and 7-day retention. It has no meeting recaps, custom templates, or team workspaces. Pro costs $14 a month and includes 5 hours of meeting recaps and 10 hours of async recaps monthly; Premium costs $29 a month and includes 15 and 30 hours, respectively.
