You're reading a book and see a name you don't recognize
It's been weeks since you last picked up the book. Names blur together. Was this character important? When did they appear before?
You could search online—but risk seeing spoilers. Or flip back through hundreds of pages hoping to find the answer.
Recall Reader solves this. Here's how the "Who Is This?" feature works.
The reader selects "Podrick"
You're in Chapter 22 of A Feast for Crows—the fourth book in the A Song of Ice and Fire series.
You tap on the name "Podrick" and choose "Who is this?"
Select the name
Tap "Who is this?"
The challenge: which Podrick?
With just a first name, we need to figure out exactly who this character is— and everything the reader knows about them so far.

Identify the full name
There might be multiple Podricks in this world. We need the right one.
-
2
Only use what's been read
No spoilers. Nothing from chapters ahead or future books.

Not just any mention—the ones that describe who they are.
Search every book you've read
We scan backwards through your reading history, finding every mention of "Podrick"—but never beyond where you currently are.
Score and select the best context
Not all mentions are equal. Introductions and descriptions score high. Passing references are filtered out. All scoring happens on your device.
Selected for AI
Filtered Out
Just name mentions—no useful context about who he is.
