Microsoft is releasing the first preview of its Recall AI feature for Copilot Plus PCs today. After a series of delays, Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel can now install a new build of Windows 11 that includes Recall and Click to Do — a feature that’s very similar to Google’s Circle to Search.

Recall takes screenshots of almost everything you do on a Copilot Plus PC to make it searchable and easy to recall a memory or retrace your steps. If you enable snapshots to be recorded by Recall, then you can use the Recall app to search for what you were working on previously with natural language queries. There is also a scrollable timeline so you can skip back to a specific date and find the apps or websites you were using. Recall’s search results use AI to match text and visual elements from the snapshots.

Recall is an entirely optional experience so you have to opt in and enable it. If you decide to try it out using the Dev Channel, the models for Recall and Click to Do will start downloading in the background once you’ve installed the latest build. The preview is only available on Qualcomm-powered Copilot Plus PCs at first, with support for Intel- and AMD-powered Copilot Plus PCs coming soon.
