Private beta · Gmail read-only
The Gist pulls newsletters, promos and updates from your inbox and turns them into the useful part: short cards, easy to scan, with the original always one tap away.
the gist
We read more than we can use. The value is not saving everything: it is finding the right idea when a decision needs it.
A useful second memory does not archive the past. It turns notes, newsletters and links into clear next actions.
Templates, icons and mockups to polish decks and landing pages without starting over.

Your inbox should not decide what you read.
Before / After
Your emails stay in your inbox. The Gist quickly shows the topic, the key points and why an email may deserve your attention.
See what emails are about without opening them one by one.
Know what deserves time and what you can skip.
Go deeper in the app only when the content is worth it.
Main idea
The card tells you what the email is about and why it might matter.
Key points
Title, summary and key points pull out the signal without making you read everything.
Original
If the topic matters, open the original. If it does not, you already know enough to move on.
Before
A practical briefing on how agent workflows are entering support, product and operations work.
Support teams test ticket triage; product teams summarize feedback; ops connects calendars, docs and CRM data.
The value is not chat. It is moving information into the next action without copy-paste.
Intercom Fin, Zendesk AI, Zapier Agents, Relay.app, Notion AI and Glean.
After
# AITechpresso covers the move from demo agents to agents inside tools teams already use: support, docs, CRM and calendars.
Footers, preheaders and artificial urgency stop competing with the content that matters.
Title, reading time, source, summary and action. Every email becomes ready to scroll.
English newsletters, technical updates and promos end up in one coherent format.
Examples
A demo with fake but realistic senders: newsletters, promos, bank notifications and personal messages do not all become the same template.
# IDEASFind the right idea when you need to decide.
Templates and mockups to polish decks and landing pages.
Approved payment with card ending in 4821, today at 9:18.
Amount, merchant and useful action. Everything else disappears.
3 messages: brief, draft, final request.
Send a short version by Friday morning.
How it works
Official Google OAuth, read-only access. No password, and you can revoke it anytime.
It separates newsletters, promos and updates, then extracts title, summary, key points and next action.
Read cards, save what matters and open Gmail only when you want the original email.
Privacy
The Gist uses read-only access: it cannot send, delete or edit emails.
The permission stays in your Google account and you can remove it whenever you want.
You can delete account and preferences without manual steps.
