People constantly discover recommendations in social media videos - restaurants, movies, places and more. But these recommendations quickly get lost across screenshots, saved posts and chats.

Recu solves this by letting users share content directly into the app, where AI extracts the recommendations, enriches them with useful data, and organizes them into a structured personal library.

Recu is designed for social-media users who regularly discover recommendations in short-form content. We are initially testing and launching the product in the UAE, where the founding team is based.

How Recu Works

Step 1

Send a video from TikTok,
Instagram, or YouTube directly
to Recu

Step 2

Recu automatically detects and extracts recommendations from the video

Step 3

Users can confirm, edit, or remove items before saving

Step 4

Save items into structured folders and custom collections
