What sets Recap apart from other knowledge tools?

Yesterday, we successfully launched Recap, and we’re deeply grateful for the support from the Product Hunt family. Today, I’d like to take a moment to discuss this topic with you in detail.
Recap’s uniqueness lies in two key areas:
1. Focusing on “Asking Better Questions”
We believe that asking good questions is far more challenging than crafting polished answers.
* First, different perspectives lead to different understandings and experiences, which is one of the core principles of problem-based learning (PBL);
* Second, questions have a gradient of complexity—from simple to advanced. The right questions and answers vary depending on a person’s stage of understanding.
To address this, we’ve introduced several innovative approaches:
Expert AI Agents: Using AI, we’ve created a series of expert agents from various industries and perspectives. These agents collaborate to analyze knowledge and generate the most appropriate questions for a given topic. Over time, as users engage with Recap and the product evolves, these agents become increasingly intelligent and capable.
Personalized Insights: The more time you spend with Recap, the better it understands your knowledge preferences and current learning stage. While safeguarding your data privacy, Recap leverages this understanding to suggest questions tailored to your specific needs and progress.
2. Visual Output Formats
We believe that visual formats outperform structured documents in terms of:
* The efficiency and experience of information consumption.
* The impact and effectiveness of sharing on social media.
In Recap, you won’t encounter overwhelming blocks of dense text. Instead, your content is transformed into visually appealing mind maps, elegant timelines, or clear tables, offering a distinctly better experience.
Additionally, our exploration into visualization has only just begun. We plan to support more efficient and beautiful formats in the future. If you’re particularly interested in a specific format that you think is perfect for answering certain types of questions, please let us know—we’d greatly appreciate your input.
Recap is built around two key pillars: “Asking better questions” and “Providing better answers.” We believe this is the inevitable direction for knowledge tools in the AI era.
Now you still can follow our first launch now: Recap on Product Hunt
We look forward to providing you with a perfect experience on Recap!
