The Chat Recall extension helps goose remember past conversations by searching across your session history. When you need context from previous work, goose can search for relevant conversations or load summaries of specific sessions.
goose automatically uses Chat Recall when you reference past work or ask questions that require historical context.

Chat Recall can search across all sessions using keywords. Results are grouped by session and ordered by recency, and can be filtered by date. Alternatively, you can provide session IDs to load summaries of specific sessions.

:::info Compacted sessions from goose versions prior to v1.14.0 may not be searchable due to a change in how conversation history is stored. :::
