Compare MensorAI and Recall for saving YouTube videos and articles. Recall summarizes what you save, connects it in a knowledge graph and quizzes you with spaced repetition, so it’s the better pick if you want to remember material. MensorAI is for writing from your sources: ask across what you saved, and every claim links to the passage it came from.

MensorAI started as a YouTube note-taking tool for learners. Now it saves articles, passages and YouTube moments as you go, and when you sit down to write, you ask across all of them. Every answer links back to the passage it came from.

You research newsletters, articles or scripts from what you read and watch. You save sources as you go, and when you write you want to ask across them and get answers that point back to the passage.
If you want summaries, flashcards or spaced repetition, a tool built for that will suit you better.

No. If you want to remember what you read and watch, Recall’s quizzes and spaced repetition are the better pick. MensorAI is for writing: you ask across what you saved, and every claim links to the passage it came from.
No. It saves the moment you’re at with the captions around it, plus your own note. When you ask a question, the answer draws on those captions and passages and links back to them. Videos without captions have little to search beyond your note.
