Gist AI

Gist AI - Free Web, YouTube, PDF Summarizer is an AI-powered Chrome extension that summarizes content from websites, YouTube videos, and PDFs using ChatGPT. It aims to save time by extracting key points in one click, with capabilities to deep-dive into cited sources and jump to specific moments in YouTube videos. The tool emphasizes quick comprehension, no content length limits, and privacy (no data collection beyond what’s needed for summarization).
