YOU HAVE 47 UNREAD TABS
AND NO FREE TIME
Gist distills any arXiv paper, Supreme Court opinion, or 2-hour YouTube video into five slides you can comprehend in 30 seconds — then tells you why the author is wrong, and why they might be right anyway.
Argument. Counter-argument. Steelman.
It's a graduate seminar in your web browser.
Too much to read. Not enough time.
If you are suffering from information overload, Gist is for you.
If your appetite for learning exceeds your time budget, Gist is for you.
↑ This is a real Gist of this page. Swipe through it.
Not summaries.
Understanding.
Adjustable Depth
First slide: one sentence — the irreducible core. Swipe for context, complications, evidence. Stop anytime. You control the depth.
Anti-Slop
Most AI summaries are slop. Gist gives you PhD-level frameworks — dramatic structure for stories, logical structure for arguments.
Think Deeper, Faster
The strongest counter-argument to every position. The best steelman of the author's case. A graduate school seminar in your browser.
