Recap Raven

About this app

Recap Raven is a Discord bot that records your tabletop RPG sessions and automatically generates player-safe recaps, private GM notes, and a searchable campaign memory. It transcribes voice chats, posts recaps within minutes, and uses AI to answer questions about past sessions with citations. Designed for Dungeon Masters and players who want to focus on the game without note-taking, it offers privacy features like raw audio deletion, consent prompts, and no AI training on your data. Plans start at $7.99/month with a free first session.

Key features

1AI-powered session recaps delivered to Discord within minutes of recording ending
2Source-cited campaign memory: ask questions about past sessions and get answers with transcript evidence
3Privacy-first: raw audio deleted after transcription, consent prompts, no AI training on user data

Target customer profile

Drawn from the product itself, not from a survey.

Demographic

Dungeon Masters running long-term D&D campaigns

Pain points

Taking notes during sessions is distracting and time-consuming; missing key details or player decisions; forgetting NPCs, plot threads, or player actions from weeks ago.

Primary needs

Automated session recaps, searchable campaign wiki, GM-only insights, and easy tracking of open story hooks.

Demographic

TTRPG players who enjoy immersive roleplay but dislike admin work

Pain points

Spending time after sessions to recall what happened; missing details about NPCs, quests, or items; disliking manual note-taking that interrupts gameplay.

Primary needs

Access to player-safe recaps and a campaign memory they can query for clarifications, without revealing GM secrets.

Demographic

Online gaming groups using Discord for voice sessions

Pain points

Sessions happen in Discord voice chat, making it hard to capture and summarize; coordinating notes across players; lack of integration with Discord.

Primary needs

A Discord-native bot that records voice, auto-transcribes, and shares recaps and campaign info directly in the server.

Scout Review

Written by AI from measured evidence, scored out of 100.

Recap Raven is a promising Discord bot that addresses a real pain point for TTRPG groups: session note-taking. Its dark fantasy branding is polished and coherent, with product screenshots that genuinely demonstrate value. The core differentiator — AI-generated, player-safe recaps with source-cited campaign memory — is well-executed in concept and clearly communicated. Security and privacy features (audio deletion, consent prompts, no AI training) are thoughtfully designed for the voice-recording use case. Performance is solid on desktop but needs mobile optimization. The pricing structure is flexible but complex. For DMs running long-term campaigns on Discord, this could be a valuable tool, especially with the free trial to test it. Early-stage, but the positioning is sharp and the execution shows care.

Measure by measure

Usability

Clear 3-step onboarding flow, prominent CTAs, minimal nav. Product screenshots with labeled sections communicate value. Free trial with no card required lowers friction.

Design

Polished dark fantasy aesthetic with coherent navy/gold/teal palette. High-fidelity product screenshots show real recap output. Dense text blocks and small secondary text slightly overwhelm.

Speed

Mobile performance 73/100 with LCP 5.4s (slow), desktop 97/100. TBT low at 30ms. Mobile experience needs optimization for hero and images.

Security

Strong security headers (12/12 checklist), HTTPS/HSTS/CSP all present. Privacy features (audio deletion, consent, no AI training) are differentiators. No SOC 2/ISO certification found.

Accessibility

Lighthouse accessibility 95/100. Multi-language support (6 languages) is strong. Issues: heading order, touch target sizes, and accessible names need fixes. No explicit WCAG statement.

Growth

Clear wedge: Discord-native AI session recaps with cited memory. Targets underserved DM segment. Category has headroom as TTRPG grows. Early stage but strong positioning.

Improvement areas

Mobile performance needs optimization (LCP 5.4s on mobile vs 97/100 desktop)
Pricing page is overly complex with multiple tiers, session blocks, and add-on comparisons
Accessibility issues: heading order, touch target sizes, and accessible names need fixes

Design & Usability

Recap Raven presents a cohesive dark fantasy brand that fits its D&D audience. The homepage effectively demonstrates the product through realistic screenshots showing actual recap output, including Pillars of Play bars and Table Energy meters. Navigation is minimal and clear, with prominent CTAs guiding users to try the bot. The 3-step flow (Record → Recap → Understand) simplifies onboarding. However, the product tour section suffers from information density, with multiple 'Click to enlarge' buttons and dense text blocks that may overwhelm first-time visitors. The pricing page is particularly complex, offering multiple tiers, session allowances, and add-on comparisons that require careful reading. Despite these issues, the overall usability is solid for a niche tool, with the free trial and no-card-required offer lowering the barrier to entry significantly.

Speed & Security

Performance is a mixed bag: desktop loads are excellent (97/100), but mobile performance lags at 73/100 with a 5.4s LCP — likely due to heavy hero imagery and product screenshots. The low TBT (30ms) indicates good JavaScript efficiency. Security posture is strong for an early-stage product: all 12 security headers are properly configured, including HSTS, CSP, and frame protection. The privacy-first approach — raw audio deletion after transcription, consent prompts, and no AI training on user data — addresses the biggest concern for a voice-recording bot. However, the absence of SOC 2 or ISO certifications means enterprise or highly security-conscious users may hesitate. The multi-language support (6 languages) for transcripts is a notable feature that adds complexity but also value.

Accessibility & Growth

Accessibility is above average with a Lighthouse score of 95/100, though three specific audits fail: heading order, touch target sizes, and accessible names for labeled elements. The multi-language support (English, Italian, Spanish, French, German, Brazilian Portuguese) is a significant strength for international TTRPG communities. Growth potential is strong: the product targets a genuine pain point for DMs running long-term campaigns on Discord, a segment underserved by existing tools. Craig Bot records but doesn't summarize; AIdnd isn't Discord-native; Notion AI requires manual entry. Recap Raven's wedge — Discord-native, AI-powered, source-cited campaign memory — is differentiated. The category has headroom as online TTRPG play continues growing. Early traction signals are minimal (domain registered June 2026), but the positioning is clear and the free trial reduces adoption friction.

Conclusion

Recap Raven is worth a try for any DM who's tired of scribbling notes while trying to run a game. The free first session (plus 3 more if you set up within 10 days) lets you test the core value without commitment. The $7.99/month entry point is reasonable for weekly tables, though the $11.99 tier with campaign memory is where the real value lies. If you're running a long-term campaign on Discord and want to actually play instead of take notes, this bot deserves a spot in your server. Just be prepared for the mobile experience to be a bit sluggish while they optimize.

Suggestions for improvement

Optimize mobile performance: lazy-load images, reduce hero size, and consider CDN for faster LCP
Fix accessibility issues: ensure sequential heading order, increase touch target sizes, and add accessible names to labeled elements
Simplify pricing page: reduce tabs and tables, use a single comparison chart with clear recommendations
Add a SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certification to build trust for security-conscious users
