Visualize Your Knowledge Base with Recall AI! | Graph View 2.0 Review & Tutorial

It’s incredibly easy to save resources and incredibly hard to actually learn from them.

You bookmark articles, save YouTube videos to Watch Later, collect ideas in note apps, and maybe even keep screenshots for reference. Over time, your digital pile turns into a link graveyard full of good intentions but almost impossible to navigate.

I’ll walk you through how Recall turns that mess into a visual, AI-powered knowledge base you can actually use, with a special focus on Graph View 2.0.

What Recall Is (and Why Its Different)

Recall is an AI knowledge base that lets you store:

• Links & AI notes from YouTube videos, articles, and websites, podcasts
  
• Your own written entries, such as notes or journal-style reflections
• and more!

Everything you add becomes part of a single knowledge base that you can:

• Browse from the Home view using tags and filters
• Chat with, to get answers based on your own stored resources
• Turn into review questions using spaced repetition
• Visualize in a graph view to see how your resources connect

Instead of saving things in five different apps, Recall gives you one place where everything connects.

Capturing Resources into Recall (Web, Notes, and More)

There are a few core ways to add content into Recall:

• Paste or type a URL for videos, articles, and websites
• Search and add entities from Wikipedia, Google Knowledge Graph, or Wikidata
• Create written entries directly in Recall for notes or journaling
  

While taking notes, you can highlight a phrase click the connection icon, and instantly link it to an existing concept. Over time, this builds a dense network of connections across your notes and saved resources. You can also tag entries or let the AI automatically tag them so that later you can filter and study topics in focused batches.

Using the Chrome Extension and Reader to Save As You Browse

One of the most powerful parts of Recall is the Chrome extension.

When you're watching a YouTube video or reading an article, you can:

• Save it directly to Recall with one click
• Get an AI-generated concise summary that includes timestamps for key sections
• Open a Reader view with a clean transcript or text version
• Add your own notes alongside the content
• Even chat with that specific resource to ask follow-up questions

This means you can have Recall open while you’re watching, add highlights or notes, and know that everything will be stored in your knowledge base and connected to related ideas.

Learning with Chat and Spaced Repetition Review

Recall isn’t just about storing information it’s about learning from it.

In the Chat view, you can ask questions like:

• What should I cook for dinner? if you’ve saved recipes
• What have I learned about time management?
• Summarize what I know about AI and productivity from recent entries

Recall answers based on the resources you’ve actually stored.

In the Review section, you can:

• Turn key resources into review cards
• Let Recall generate questions and prompts for spaced repetition
• Quiz yourself and track how well concepts are sticking

This is perfect if you’re treating your knowledge base like a study hub for skills, certifications, or deep topics you want to truly understand.

Seeing Connections with Graph View 2.0

Where Recall really shines is in Graph View 2.0.

Every circle (node) in the graph represents:

• A concept (like AI or habits)
• A resource (like a specific video or article)

The more connections a node has, the larger it appears. Visually, this makes it easy to see what topics dominate your knowledge base.

Filtering, Grouping, and Layout Controls

Graph View 2.0 adds a lot of control so you can shape the graph to how you think:

• Filter by tag, source, or search terms
• Include or exclude topics with plus or minus queries
• Toggle unconnected nodes and leaf nodes to choose how you see the connections between nodes.
• Group nodes with colors (for example, make all technology or AI-related nodes appear in red)

You can also tweak the layout:

• Adjust node spacing to spread the graph out or pull it tighter
• Change link length and link force for how strongly nodes pull toward each other
• Set node size, link thickness, and label visibility for clarity
• Show or hide arrows, always show labels, and enable highlight on hover to explore more easily

When you find a setup you like, you can save it as a preset.

Discovering Paths Between Ideas with Pathfinder

A particularly fun feature in Graph View is Pathfinder.

You can:

• Click one node
• Cmd click another
• Let Recall show you the shortest path that connects them

This might surface a chain of resources and ideas you wouldn’t have thought to connect yourself. It turns your knowledge base into something you can explore almost like a map, not just a list.

Using Notebook as Part of Your Knowledge Graph

Within Recall’s Notebook, you can write free-form notes and:

• Use brackets to link to concepts
• See connections form automatically as you type

Later, in the graph, you can click on a node and see which articles, videos, or notes are connected to them.
