Recall vs Promptfoo: at a glance
What is Recall?
Recall becomes an official Claude connector, so your saved library feeds Claude's answers.
Recall is a read-later and knowledge library that has spent the autumn opening itself to outside AI tools. The 2 November release gave chat and the MCP server exact-phrase search and whole-card reading; the 12 November release gets Recall listed as an official connector inside Claude, with ChatGPT named as next. The same release opens a mobile app beta, makes chat citations point to the exact passage used, jumps PDF search results to the right page and writes overviews for connections from the user's own cards.
What is Promptfoo?
Promptfoo's feed has gone quiet except for small fixes to its code-scan action.
The newest entries are code-scan GitHub Action patches: 0.2.1 updates type definitions and 0.2.2 mints the OIDC token after the CLI installs. The main evaluator's last visible release, 0.121.20 in July, added Claude Opus 5, Kimi K3 and websocket URL templating, following a run of releases that tracked each new frontier model.

◆ Current state
Recall is a read-later and knowledge library that has spent the autumn opening itself to outside AI tools. The 2 November release gave chat and the MCP server exact-phrase search and whole-card reading; the 12 November release gets Recall listed as an official connector inside Claude, with ChatGPT named as next. The same release opens a mobile app beta, makes chat citations point to the exact passage used, jumps PDF search results to the right page and writes overviews for connections from the user's own cards.
◆ Where it's heading
Recall is turning from a place you visit into a source other assistants read from. Each release since October has improved retrieval quality for both its own chat and connected apps, and the stated next step is a write connection so Claude can save and edit cards, not just read them.
◆ Prediction
Expect the ChatGPT listing and a write-capable MCP in the next releases, followed by the mobile app leaving beta.
Promptfoo
5.0AI-ASSISTANTS
Promptfoo's feed has gone quiet except for small fixes to its code-scan action.
◆ Current state
The newest entries are code-scan GitHub Action patches: 0.2.1 updates type definitions and 0.2.2 mints the OIDC token after the CLI installs. The main evaluator's last visible release, 0.121.20 in July, added Claude Opus 5, Kimi K3 and websocket URL templating, following a run of releases that tracked each new frontier model.
◆ Where it's heading
The evaluator's rhythm is provider coverage plus red-team strategies, and the code-scan action is maintained on its own track. The feed shows no evaluator release since July, which may be a feed gap rather than a pause.
◆ Prediction
If the evaluator is still shipping, the next visible entry will likely add the latest frontier models; the feed doesn't show whether it stopped.
