Everything In, Intelligence Out
You have a 40-page PDF. You need the three things that actually matter. You don't have 40 minutes.
Gist takes anything — documents, web pages, videos, audio — and turns it into exactly the format you need. A mind map. A set of flashcards. A slide deck. A five-bullet summary.
Upload once. Extract forever.
The Gist Pipeline
The Content Problem
We produce more content than we can consume. Research papers, meeting recordings, technical docs, lecture videos — they pile up faster than anyone can process them.
The bottleneck isn't access. It's extraction. Getting the signal out of the noise. And doing it in a format that's actually useful.

Chat With Your Documents
Don't just summarize — converse. Ask Gist specific questions about your uploaded content. "What methodology did they use?" "Summarize Section 3." "Create flashcards from the key findings."
The AI has full context of your document. It doesn't hallucinate from general knowledge — it answers from your content.
You: What are the three main findings?
Gist: Based on the uploaded paper:
1. Treatment group showed 34% improvement
2. Effect was strongest in ages 25-35
3. No significant side effects observed
You: Create flashcards from Section 4
Gist: Generated 8 flashcards from "Methodology"

Most tools handle PDFs. Gist handles everything. Paste a URL and it extracts the content. Upload a video and it transcribes and analyzes. Import from Google Drive with one click.
Then choose your output: mind maps for visual thinkers, flashcards for studying, slide decks for presenting, data tables for analysis.
