News for people who don't read the news.
We scan over 100 sources every day and tells you what actually matters. No clickbait. No doom-scrolling. Just the important stuff in five minutes.
How it works
Honest, accessible, actually useful.
The Gist is the five-minute newsletter for people who would rather live their lives than doom-scroll. Here's what the AI handles for you.
AI does the reading
Our AI skims major outlets, niche blogs, and everything in between so you don't have to.
Cuts through the noise
No doom-scroll, no filler. Just the stories that actually affect your day and why they matter.
Hits your inbox
One email twice daily. Read it with coffee, feel informed all day. Unsubscribe any time.
What you get
Get the gist in five minutes.
Every brief answers three questions: what happened, why it matters, and what else should be on your radar. Everything is linked so you can go deeper when you want.
The day's top stories
3-5 headlines worth your attention, explained clearly without assuming you have a poli-sci degree.
Why it matters
Quick context on what changed, who it impacts, and why you should care in plain language.
Quick hits
Other stories worth knowing in bullet form. Skimmable in 30 seconds flat.
The honest part
We don't pretend AI is magic.
Staying informed shouldn't feel like homework. Here's how we keep it real about what the AI can (and can't) do.
"Is this actually unbiased?"
Nope. True objectivity doesn't exist. We pull from left, right, and international outlets so you see multiple angles on the same story.
"Can I trust an AI?"
Think of it as your smart friend who reads everything. Our AI summarizes and cross-checks sources, and we link to every original article.
"Why is this free?"
We're building in public. While we experiment, The Gist stays free. If we add a paid tier later, you'll hear it from us first.
