Recap
About Recap
Recap generates concise summaries of online content including YouTube videos, podcasts, TikTok clips and articles. Users paste a link to the content and select a summary length—short, medium or long—before receiving an AI-generated brief. The tool supports multiple languages including English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Hebrew and Mandarin. Free accounts allow up to five summaries per day without signing up, while registered users can browse ready-made summaries and save their own work. A premium tier removes daily limits, enables automatic email summaries of new uploads from up to 15 followed channels, and removes advertisements. The service also provides a daily news briefing and maintains a history of past summaries for review.
