To use Gist AI, you can download it from the Chrome Web Store, pin it to your toolbar and click the icon to summarize a website, YouTube video or PDF. You can also upload a local PDF file for summarization.

If you're looking for a tool to help you cope with the information overload of the digital age, Gist AI is a good option to get a quick handle on what's important and what you can skip.
