Reel memory: how Recall handles reels

How Flocci Recall saves and understands reels: where they come from, what AI extracts, and the kind of fuzzy query that finds them again.

Direct answer

Recall treats reels as a first-class content type with their own accent colour, their own filter chip and their own enrichment path. Reels are recognised from the reel path segment. Once a reel is saved you can find it by describing it — the summary, key takeaways, topics, entities and bilingual keywords are all searchable.

Where reels come from

Recall files a save as a reel when it arrives from Instagram reels, Facebook reels, TikTok.

What Recall builds around a reel

Reels are recognised from the reel path segment. Recall reads the caption and the official embed record, adds a verbatim transcript where transcription is available, and — for Instagram covers and carousels — a vision description of the frame, before writing the summary and takeaways.

Queries that find reels again

These are the shapes of query Recall is built for — vague, human, and about meaning rather than metadata.

The honest bit

Instagram's own Saved tab has no search box. Recall gives the same reel a title, a summary, takeaways, topics and keywords — so it is findable by description.

Questions about reels in Recall

How does Recall know something is a reel?

From the URL and the content itself, before any AI runs. Reel detection sits in a deliberately ordered signal list so more specific rules win — and where a fact is available, such as a file extension or the absence of a URL, the fact beats any AI inference.

What does Recall extract from a reel?

Reels are recognised from the reel path segment. Recall reads the caption and the official embed record, adds a verbatim transcript where transcription is available, and — for Instagram covers and carousels — a vision description of the frame, before writing the summary and takeaways.

What can I search for to find a reel again?

Describe it. Real queries that work include "that pasta reel from last week", "the reel with the wardrobe folding hack", "reel about the cafe in Goa". Recall interprets the description into concepts, ranks your whole library, and narrates what it found in one sentence.

Is anything about reels handled differently?

Instagram's own Saved tab has no search box. Recall gives the same reel a title, a summary, takeaways, topics and keywords — so it is findable by description.
