Turn long WhatsApp chats into a short brief: decisions, dates, owners, next steps.

Structured summaries in minutes. .txt and .zip supported.

Analyze your chat

How it works

1

Export the chat

Export your WhatsApp chat (with or without media).

2

Run the analysis

See the exact price on the upload screen. Unlock the full conversation only when it is worth it.

3

Read the recap

Get a clean brief: key points, decisions, and highlights. Ask follow-up questions in the AI chat, generate full documents, or export to Notion, Trello, or Google Calendar.

What you get

Every summary follows what the conversation actually contains. Here’s what ThreadRecap extracts.

Summary styles

Pick the format that fits your use case.

  • Bullet brief — short bullets for quick catch-up.
  • Meeting minutes — agenda, decisions, actions, parking lot.
  • Client update — polished text you can paste into email.
  • Personal recap — highlights and follow-ups for your own notes.

What ThreadRecap extracts

Beyond the summary, ThreadRecap pulls out structured details you can act on.

  • Decisions and agreements
  • Blockers and open issues
  • Deadlines and dates
  • Links and file references
  • Unresolved questions

Questions? Answered.

Yes. ThreadRecap supports group chats. You can focus the analysis on a subset of participants (e.g. 2–5 people) to keep the summary relevant and avoid noise.

It depends on the conversation, not on a setting. The recap follows what the chat contains: usually an overview, the topics discussed, the moments that matter and where things stand. Voice messages are transcribed and folded into the timeline first. For decisions, action items or open questions as a list, ask the follow-up chat.

Yes. We support the standard WhatsApp export: a .zip that contains a _chat.txt (or “WhatsApp Chat - Contact.txt”) file. You can also use a .txt-only export for text-only summaries. Voice messages inside the .zip are supported when you include media.

The file opens in your browser straight away. Most conversations are ready within a few minutes, and one with many voice messages takes longer.

ThreadRecap parses your export in the browser. The text is used for analysis, and so is the audio of every voice message the export contains. Your chat is stored on our servers so your analysis stays accessible, and you can delete anytime from your dashboard. See our Privacy Policy for details.

Yes. Every conversation starts with a structured recap. After it is ready, ask in the chat for a bullet brief, minutes-style output with decisions and actions, or a specific format such as a client update or personal recap.

Privacy and security

Parsing happens in your browser; only necessary data is sent.

Stored on our servers. Delete anytime from your dashboard.

Photos, video files, and their visual content never leave your device. For transcription, we send chat text and the audio of every voice message, including the audio track your browser extracts from each video.
