AI Memory Companion: How Recallify Supports Memory, Learning and Tasks
Recallify is an AI memory companion designed to help you capture, organise, and recall the information that matters in daily life. Whether you’re managing memory difficulties after brain injury, navigating ADHD, studying for exams, or simply juggling too much information at once, Recallify works as a second brain: recording what you need, summarising it clearly, extracting tasks automatically, and prompting you at the right moment.
This page explains how it works and how to get the most from it. You can also watch the video walkthrough for a full tour of the interface.
What Does an AI Memory Companion Actually Do?
An AI memory companion is a tool that captures information in your own voice, text, or files, then uses AI to transcribe, summarise, and organise it so you can retrieve it when you need it. Unlike a basic note taking app, it actively helps you remember and act on what you’ve recorded.
Recallify does this through four core features:
1. Voice recording and transcription. Record conversations, lectures, meetings, therapy sessions, or quick thoughts. Recallify transcribes everything automatically and creates a searchable record you can return to at any time.
2. Smart summaries. Long recordings and documents are distilled into clear, plain English summaries. Key decisions, names, dates, and action points are highlighted so you can scan them in seconds rather than re listening or re reading.
3. Automatic task extraction. Recallify identifies tasks from your recordings and notes, suggests priorities and due dates, and syncs with your calendar. This is particularly helpful for people with ADHD or executive dysfunction, where task initiation is the main barrier.
4. Quiz generation and spaced review. For learning and retention, Recallify generates personalised questions from your content using active recall and spaced repetition, two of the most effective techniques for strengthening long term memory.
How to Use Recallify: Step by Step
Capture in the moment. Press the record button and speak. You can record a quick reminder to yourself, a full meeting, a lecture, or a conversation. Recallify transcribes it in real time. You can also import PDFs, documents, audio files, or video and Recallify will process them in the same way.
Review your summaries. Every recording and import gets an automatic summary. Open it to see the key points, decisions, and action items pulled out clearly. No need to re listen to a 45 minute meeting to find one detail.
Find anything with search. Your entire memory bank is searchable using natural language. Ask “What tasks do I have related to my appointment?” or “What did I record about the biology lecture?” and Recallify retrieves the relevant information.
Act on your tasks. Tasks extracted from your recordings appear in your planner with suggested priorities. Set reminders, sync to your calendar, and get gentle prompts at the right time, not constant notifications.
Strengthen your recall. Use the quiz feature to test yourself on what you’ve recorded. Spaced review brings important information back at intervals designed to move it into long term memory.
Who Uses Recallify as Their AI Memory Companion?
Recallify was co founded by Dr Sarah Rudebeck, a senior clinical neuropsychologist with 15 years of NHS experience. It’s designed for anyone who needs support with memory, organisation, or learning, but is particularly helpful for:
People living with neurological conditions. Those managing acquired brain injury, stroke, MS, mild cognitive impairment, or epilepsy use Recallify to reduce cognitive load, capture important information reliably, and set structured reminders for daily tasks. Recallify is currently being evaluated in an NIHR funded feasibility study for brain injury self management.
People with ADHD. Recallify works as an ADHD planner and productivity tool that captures tasks from voice and text, sets adaptive reminders, and helps with task initiation and follow through. Read more about ADHD apps and tools.
Students and learners. Capture lectures, get summaries, and use quiz generation to revise effectively. Particularly useful for neurodiverse learners and those with special educational needs.
Professionals. Record meetings, extract action items, and search past conversations by topic. No more lost meeting notes or forgotten commitments.
Families and carers. Record care instructions or medical appointments once. Everyone can access the same clear summary later.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an AI memory companion?
An AI memory companion is a tool that captures information through voice, text, or file uploads and uses AI to transcribe, summarise, and organise it. It helps you store, search, and recall information when you need it, acting as an external memory support in daily life.
How is Recallify different from a note taking app?
A note taking app stores what you type. Recallify goes further: it transcribes voice recordings, creates automatic summaries, extracts tasks with priorities and due dates, generates quizzes for revision, and lets you search your entire memory bank using natural language. It’s designed to reduce cognitive load, not add to it.
Who is Recallify designed for?
Recallify is built for anyone who needs support with memory, organisation, or learning. It’s particularly helpful for people with ADHD, acquired brain injury, stroke, MS, mild cognitive impairment, and neurodiverse learners. It was co founded by a clinical neuropsychologist and is being evaluated in an NIHR funded clinical study.
Can Recallify help with memory after brain injury?
Yes. Recallify is being evaluated in a 12 month NIHR funded feasibility study for brain injury self management. Features like voice capture, automatic summaries, structured reminders, and searchable memory storage are designed to support the kind of everyday memory difficulties that follow brain injury, stroke, and other neurological conditions.
Is Recallify a medical device?
No. Recallify is an everyday support tool designed to complement professional care, not replace it. It does not provide diagnosis or clinical decision support.
