Problem Scenario:

When I add a YouTube video to Recall, the AI generates a concise summary. While reviewing it manually, I often want to add links for entities that the AI didn’t detect in the first pass — for example, a person like Aaron Lefohn (Vice President of Graphics Research at NVIDIA).

Currently, the workflow is very limited:

I highlight the name and click the yellow lightning bolt to create a link.

Recall looks for existing cards but usually finds nothing (no other video mentioning the name, no pre-existing card).

I end up with a blank card containing just the title (the name) and no further content.

At this point:

Recall does not help enrich this new card.

I have to manually research the person (Google, Wikipedia, other AI tools), copy text, find an image, paste everything into Recall, and only then does the card become useful as a “key entity” card for future linking.

This process is time-consuming and breaks the flow of reviewing and enriching content.

Proposed Solution: AI-Assisted Entity Enrichment

When I highlight a name or concept and create a link that leads to a new card, Recall should offer an AI-powered enrichment option.

Step 1: After creating the new card, Recall can automatically suggest:

“Do you want Recall to research this entity and add key information?”

Step 2: Recall would then use trusted sources (Wikipedia, Bing Search, or its own AI) to:

Add a short bio/summary

Include key facts (role, affiliation, context)

Suggest a representative image if available

Provide links to authoritative sources

Step 3: The enriched card would then be ready to serve as a hub card for future linking to other content mentioning the same entity.

Benefits

Faster Knowledge Graph Building: Users can create meaningful, enriched cards in one step without leaving Recall.

Better Context: Future links to this entity point to a card that already has a description, sources, and maybe even an image.

Improved UX: Reduces manual Google/Wikipedia searches and copy-paste work.

Optional Enhancements

Let users choose the enrichment source (Wikipedia, AI summary, web search).

Allow editing or approving the AI-generated content before finalizing the card.

Store sources or references on the card for transparency.
