Unlimited, Free summaries of Websites, PDFs and YouTube videos in 30+ languagesโno length restrictions. For added clarity, deep dive into the summary source or jump directly to key moments in YouTube videos. Save time and get more done with Gist AI.
Hello Product Hunters! ๐
We're thrilled (a bit nervous) for our first-ever PH launch and can't wait to hear what you think!
Problem: ๐ค
Gist AI emerged from my personal struggle with existing summarization tools. As an avid reader of online content, I faced three major issues:
1๏ธโฃ The summaries were high-level and left me wondering if they covered everything important.
2๏ธโฃ If something caught my eye, I had to revisit the entire article or video to learn more.
3๏ธโฃ I was juggling multiple extensions for websites, YouTube, and PDFs. Plus, no extension offered free PDF summarization. ๐
Solution: โ
Gist AI started out as a basic tool just for me and a few friends. But after launch the response was overwhelming and we realized that many other people were facing similar problems. Numerous customer feedbacks and a bunch of improvements later, we are finally ready to bring Gist AI to the Product Hunt community. ๐
Key Features:
๐ One extension to summarize everything
No need for multiple summarizers โ Gist AI summarizes websites, YouTube videos, online PDFs and even PDFs uploaded from your computer.
๐ Unlimited, Unrestricted free summaries
No restrictions on length of content or number of summaries.
๐ Deep Dive into What Interests You
If you find something interesting, use our unique 'Read More' feature to deep dive into the summary source. For YouTube videos, jump right to that moment in the video.
๐ง Enhanced Comprehension
Gist AI improves focus and understanding by breaking down lengthy content into digestible pieces.
๐ Free, Simple and easy to use
Just install the Chrome extension and you are setโno payment, no API keys, no fuss.
๐ Overcome language barrier
Translate summaries into 30+ languages, making Gist AI accessible worldwide.
We hope Gist AI helps you save some valuable time.
๐ Thanks for your support
Your upvote and your feedback are very important for us. Please share any features or improvements you'd like to see in upcoming versions.
Cheers!
Sayoni and Kshitiz,
Gist AI Co-founders
Hey Product Hunters!
So happy to introduce you to Gist AI ๐. We're excited for you to experience it first-hand and can't wait to hear your thoughts.
Gist AI was born out of our own frustrations with the existing solutions for content summarization. We aimed to create a one-stop solution that efficiently summarizes everything โ be it articles, YouTube videos, or PDFs โ and saves you some valuable time each day. Gist AI is designed to be intuitive, so you can instantly hit the ground running.
My personal favorite ๐ is that now I can summarize long PDFs for free. Let us know what your favorite feature in Gist AI is?
Your input is crucial to us. We're keen to learn what you think and how we can fine-tune Gist AI to better meet your needs. ๐
Wishing you a great day! โ๏ธ
@sayoni_dutta_roy Congrats on the launch!๐๐
I am so excited to know more about the product and especially when it comes summarization of documents and text really helpful!! All the best ahead!๐๐๐
@sayoni_dutta_roy this makes so much sense. I see a great use for it in order to improve the shareability of content. You read an article or watch a video, get the summary and share the link alongside your key takeaways. What do you think?
@guillaume_ang1 Great suggestion: Sharing the summary along with the link. We will definitely include it in upcoming versions.
Let us know if you think of other improvements. It would be really helpful
Congratulations on the launch to @sayoni_dutta_roy and the whole team! It's great that you have such big range of available languages. Good luck today :)
I came to know about this product while searching for chrome plugin that can help summarise the pdf/text file. I instantly jumped out to check it. The product worked flawlessly and helped me achieve what I wanted with some tweaking and adjustments in the prompt.
Its a good product to use especially if you want to extract the summary and responses based on your local files.
My best wishes are with the maker Sayoni for a fruitful future.
A hearty congratulations to @sayoni_dutta_roy + @kshitizkr and the entire team on launching Gist AI!
The tool seems to be a beacon for avid readers and content consumers, simplifying (tons of!) information into digestible summaries.
Q: How does Gist AI plan to carve out its unique niche and stand out in the sector?
@dzaitzow Thanks for the kind words Daniel. Appreciate it!
Gist AI aims to improve the way users consume content - streamline it and make it as efficient as possible. We hope our relentless focus on user experience will help us stand out.
Eager to hear your suggestions too.
Great job on creating Gist AI @kshitizkr!
As someone who frequently conducts research and needs to digest large amounts of information, Gist AI seems incredibly useful.
Keep up the great work!
@gusoliveira_ Thank you so much for the kind words! We're delighted to hear that Gist AI could be a valuable tool for your research needs. Your encouragement is fuel for us to keep improving! ๐๐
Congrats on your launch!
Reading and watching some content takes me a lot of time, so it will save time.
By the way, the token ChatGPT can handle is limited. How can you put all data on the website into ChatGPT?
@naoto_shibata_morph We hope Gist AI helps you save some time. :)
Gist AI splits long content into easy-to-understand smaller blocks. So we can handle the token limitation imposed by ChatGPT.
This looks great! I just checked a YouTube video, it gave me a quick gist of it which was meaningful indeed. Exactly what I needed. Congrats on the launch!๐๐
@rajtilakjee Thank you so much! We're thrilled to hear that the YouTube summarization feature gave you exactly what you needed. Your congratulations and positive feedback mean the world to us! ๐๐
@sayoni_dutta_roy@kshitizkr very nice to see a summarizer that spans multiple content mediums with a wide variety of languages supported. A very useful tool for saving time and improving productivity and efficiency.
@david_mcanulty Thank you for the kind words! We're thrilled you find the multi-medium and multi-language features useful for saving time and boosting productivity. Your support is incredibly motivating for us! ๐
@ako61142833 Thanks for the detailed feedback Deniz. We are glad you found the features useful.
It's a great suggestion to add specialized support for niche content. This is something we are also planning to have in future versions. Do let us know if you have any specific type of content in mind.
Mobile support is also something we should definitely explore. But it will be different from the existing workflow and needs some more planning.
Do let us know if there is anything else you think will make Gist AI more useful.
@natella_nuralieva Thanks :) I personally use it a lot to save time each day. But of course I am biased. Do let me know what you think when you use it.
@natella_nuralieva Thank you for the congratulations! We're delighted to hear that you love the browser extension โperfect for those busy workdays. Your support is very much appreciated! ๐
Congratulations on the launch! Would I be able to export the summaries after generating them? I think it would be cool to sync them with Notion or something similar. Best of luck on your mission!
@iskandarchacra Thank you for the congratulations! As of now, we don't have a direct export feature, but it's a fantastic suggestion to sync summaries with Notion or similar platforms. We'll definitely consider it for future updates. Best wishes to you too! ๐
I'm a marketer, always reading and watching a lot. I'm thrilled with a solution that saves me hours! Thank you, maker's team, and best of luck with the launch! ๐๐ป
@nikogermish We're so glad to hear Gist AI can help save you hours in your busy marketing role! Thank you for your kind words and best wishes for our launch. Your support is incredibly motivating! ๐๐ป๐
I've just tried your extension, and it's awesome!
Having different apps for all these tasks made it such a problem to switch from one to another.
My question to you is:
1/ Is there a way to get a summary of a YouTube video if it doesn't have captions?
2/ Does it support other languages besides English?
@evgeny_kotelevskiy Thank you for trying Gist AI and for the awesome feedback! We totally understand the hassle of juggling multiple apps, which is why we created a unified solution.
1/ For YouTube videos without captions, currently we don't support them but we're planning on options to still provide meaningful summaries in future.
2/ Yes, we support 30+ languages, making Gist AI accessible worldwide!
Hope that answers your questions! ๐
Congrats on the launch ๐ฅ! The experience is awesome, one click to get a summary is just awesome.
A possible improvement for the future could be to let the user decide of the level of details he wants. Or maybe have a new button that the user can click in order to have a "longer" summary.
Also I wonder how you managed to make the product completely free. Will it remain this way or do you have plans to implement a subscription or one time payment model ?
Congrats again for the launch ๐
Aurรฉlien
@aurelmr Thanks for the thoughtful feedback. We are glad you liked it.
Great suggestion! The ability to let the user decide the length of the summary is something which can be really useful. We are planning to add such features in future.
We plan on keeping Gist AI free for the foreseeable future. The main reason is that we want to onboard as many users as we can and improve the product from user feedback.
Thanks again. Let us if you have any more suggestions.
@sentry_co We're thrilled you find the YouTube summary feature cool! ๐ You're right, ChatGPT can summarize URLs, but it's generally a paid feature (as far as I know) and doesn't include uploaded PDF or YouTube capabilities. Another thing that sets Gist AI apart is our unique one-click "Read More" feature that allows you to directly view the original source of the summary or jump directly to timestamps in YouTube videos. This way, you can dive deeper into any content that piques your interest.
Congratulations for the launch! Are you planning to the link it with other note/memo tools like Notion, Evernote, etc. Sounds very useful for people trying to Build a Second Brain.
@julienergan Thanks for the feedback Julien. The need to save summaries is a great idea and seems like a major feature request from today's launch. We definitely plan on adding it in upcoming versions. Stay tuned!
This is actually fantastic AI tool that I'll even personally used instead of mindlessly upvote for the sake of upvote.
One of the best in its class for its niche in summarizing without restriction parameters. Well done Gist AI team!
Good luck and all the best for your launch!
@hafeezcae This means a lot to us. Thank you. We hope Gist AI helps you save some valuable time each day. Do let us know if you want to see any feature additions in future.
@sayoni_dutta_roy addition of one click button to get the metadata for reference management system would be a great addition. Especially if it can export directly to Zotero.
@darya_antonyuk Thank you! We're thrilled to hear that you won't have to struggle with summarizing long articles anymore. Your support and congrats mean so much to us! ๐
