Question 1

What is an AI news digest?

Accepted Answer

An AI news digest is a short, structured summary of what's happening on a topic, built by scanning many sources so you don't have to read them all yourself. Each morning GIST reads news, articles, forums, and social posts on the topics you pick and distills them into a clean two-minute briefing, so you stay informed without scrolling a feed.

Question 2

How is this different from Google News or Perplexity?

Accepted Answer

Google News gives you an endless list of headlines sorted by recency. Perplexity is a search box you have to ask. GIST is a standing order: pick your topics once and get a structured briefing every morning, and point it at one specific thing to watch and it pings you the moment that changes. No feed, no search, no scroll.

Question 3

What's the difference between a topic and a tracker?

Accepted Answer

A topic gives you a daily AI briefing on a subject like a sport, a company, or a person. A tracker watches one specific thing and alerts you when it changes: ticket availability, a price or restock, a player's injury status, a poll, a flight fare. Free includes 2 trackers with daily checks; Pro includes 10 with hourly checks plus push and email alerts.

Question 4

Can GIST track prices or alert me when something changes?

Accepted Answer

Yes, that's its flagship feature. Tell a tracker what to watch in plain words, like a ticket price, a restock, a player's injury status, an election poll, or a flight fare, and GIST checks the web on a schedule and alerts you the moment it changes, by email, push, or in-app. Free includes 2 trackers with daily checks; Pro includes 10 with hourly checks.

Question 5

Is GIST free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The free plan covers up to 5 topics plus a custom one, daily AI briefings, live Ask answers, 2 change trackers, and email digests, with no credit card to start. Pro is $5/mo (or $49/year) and removes the limits: unlimited topics, unlimited Ask, 10 trackers with hourly checks and push alerts, and no ads.

Question 6

What is Ask?

Accepted Answer

Ask is a quick question box on your feed. Type anything, like "why isn't he playing tonight?" or "what just happened with that stock?", and get a short answer built from up-to-the-minute sources, not this morning's news. It's one question, one answer; no chat threads, nothing saved. Every answer highlights one topic you can tap to add to your feed. Free for everyone signed in.

Question 7

Where does the information actually come from?

Accepted Answer

GIST uses Google's Gemini 2.5 with grounded search across news outlets, long-form articles, public forums, and social discussion. Every digest cites its sources so you can verify or go deeper. We never ask you to take our word for it.

Question 8

Is my data or reading history sold?

Accepted Answer

No. We don't sell data, we don't run third-party ad networks, and Pro users see no ads at all. The business model is a $5/mo subscription, not your attention.

Question 9

How often do digests refresh?

Accepted Answer

Refresh any digest on demand to pull the latest: free gets 1 refresh a day, Pro is unlimited. Trackers re-check automatically on a schedule: daily on Free, as often as hourly on Pro.

Question 10

Can I cancel Pro anytime?

Accepted Answer

Yes. One click from your profile, and you keep Pro access through the end of your billing period. No retention emails, no dark patterns.
