Recall uses AI features "to take images of your active screen every few seconds."

    What’s the use case for something like this?

    I could see it being handy for work, sometimes when designing parts I’ll find a component that looks like a good fit but will forget to note it down or bookmark it.

    Summarizing previous conversations with a customer for support via email/chat would also be nice, so I don’t have to manually go through a bunch of threads to remember what products they have and such.

      It sounds like these use cases would be better served if this feature was a specific, opt-in available in an enterprise version or a separate, third-party product (i.e. screen capture software that will ONLY record what you do in the software in question, when you want it to).

      But baked into a consumer OS (not the business version) seems excessive. Who knows, maybe people will find good uses for it at home. I’m cynical and don’t believe that M$ designed this for the user’s benefit.

      On the positive side (at least for now), this is a local-only, encrypted data feature.
