How do we introduce memory, right?
Photographic memory into what you do on the PC.
And now we have it. So it's called Recall.
It's not keyword search.
It's semantic search over all your history.
And it's not just about any document, we can recreate moments from the past essentially.
Here's how it works.
Windows constantly takes screen shots of what's on your screen, then uses a generative AI model right on the device along with the NPU to process all that data and make it searchable, even photos.
I got to try it out. I searched "brown leather bag."
It came up in visual search. There's no place on this page that it says "brown leather bag". It just knows because it sees (ransomnote: the image of) this brown leather bag.
There could be this reaction from some people that this is pretty creepy. Microsoft is taking screenshots of everything I do.
Yeah. I mean that's why that you can only do it on the edge. So you have to put two things together. This is my computer; this is my Recall. And it's all being done locally, right?
So, that's the promise. So, that's one of the reasons why Recall works as a magical thing because I can trust it that it is on my computer.
You can also restrict recall from taking screenshots of certain websites or apps or turn it off entirely.
