Gist AI

Gist AI is a free Chrome extension that automatically summarizes online content—web pages, YouTube videos, and PDF documents. Built on ChatGPT, it helps you quickly capture the key points from long articles, reports, and videos.

How it works

After installing the extension, open a website, a YouTube video, or an online PDF and click the Gist AI icon in your browser toolbar. For local PDFs stored on your computer, there’s a separate tab where you can upload a file. In a few seconds, you’ll get a structured summary of the material.

Who it’s for

Gist AI is useful for anyone who reads or watches a lot each day, including:

• Students
• Researchers
• Content creators
• Professionals reviewing large volumes of information

Extra features

When summarizing YouTube videos, you can jump directly to the relevant timestamp from the summary, making it easier to navigate long videos and review specific sections.
