Gist AI

Gist AI is a free Chrome extension designed to generate concise, accurate summaries of online content, including web pages, YouTube videos, and PDFs. Its primary purpose is to help users quickly understand the core ideas of long or complex materials without reading or watching everything in full. By integrating directly into the browser, Gist AI streamlines information consumption and supports more efficient research and learning workflows.

The extension can summarize articles, blog posts, documentation, and reports with a single click, producing clear, structured outputs powered by advanced language models, including ChatGPT. For YouTube content, Gist AI extracts and condenses key points from video transcripts, allowing users to grasp the main arguments or instructions without watching the entire video. It also supports PDF summarization, which is particularly useful for academic papers, technical manuals, and lengthy business documents. Users can customize the level of detail in summaries and access them directly within the page they are viewing, reducing context switching and saving time.
