Recap Raven

Overview

Recap Raven is a Discord-native bot that records voice sessions for tabletop role-playing games and converts them into structured, searchable documentation. Designed primarily for Dungeons & Dragons groups, the service transcribes live conversation, produces a player-safe recap for the whole table, and generates a private GM report with analytics and coaching notes. It also maintains a persistent campaign memory, allowing players and DMs to query past events and receive answers with direct citations to the original transcript. The product is aimed at reducing the overhead of manual session note-taking while keeping GM-only information separated from what players see.

Key Features

• Player-safe session recaps: After each recorded session, the bot generates a concise, shareable summary highlighting key moments, decisions, and discoveries. The recap is posted back to Discord and is constructed to avoid revealing GM secrets or private prep.
• Source-backed campaign memory: The bot builds a searchable world wiki that updates as the campaign progresses. Users can ask questions in Discord and receive answers that include direct transcript quotes as evidence, making it easy to verify where information came from.
• GM analytics and feedback: Session reports include metrics such as spotlight balance, table energy, participation rates, and a session score. These analytics are visible only to the GM and are intended to help improve future sessions.
• Private GM notes and coaching: Recap Raven separates GM-only commentary and speculation from player-facing material. It identifies open story hooks, likely next-session directions, and coaching tips that remain private.
• Consent-first recording and privacy: The bot announces recording in the channel, supports pause and stop, and deletes raw audio within minutes after transcription. Transcripts and recaps can be exported or deleted at any time, and the service states it does not use user content to train AI models.
• Multilingual support: Transcripts and recaps can be generated in English, Italian, Spanish, French, German, and Brazilian Portuguese.

How It Works

The workflow is integrated into Discord. After inviting the bot to a server, a GM or player starts a session with the /session start command while in a voice channel. The bot records the conversation, transcribes the audio, and maps speech to speakers. Once the session stops, processing typically completes in under 10 minutes. The bot then delivers a player-safe recap to the selected text channel and generates a private GM report with analytics, hooks, and prep suggestions. Campaign memory features allow users to ask questions about past sessions at any time, with responses pulling evidence from the stored transcript.

Who It's For

Recap Raven is built for Dungeon Masters and players who run tabletop RPGs over Discord, particularly groups that play regularly and want to maintain continuity without extensive manual notes. It suits both long-running campaigns and new groups, as the free first-session tier lets users try the full recording and recap flow without a credit card. The privacy and consent controls make it appropriate for tables that prioritize transparency, but GMs who want real-time recommendations or who do not use Discord as their primary platform may find the bot limited.
