AI notebook that pulls videos, PDFs, podcasts, and articles into one place with auto-highlights and grounded Q&A.
Gistr is a note-taking and research workspace built around long-form source material rather than a blank page. A user adds a video, podcast, PDF, or article, and it auto-highlights notable moments, lets any passage or timestamp be selected for an AI explanation, and organizes sources into chapters and collections. An Ask AI panel answers questions grounded in whichever sources are selected, and a rich notes editor allows writing alongside the material. Finished notebooks, called threads, can be shared with a team or published publicly. The site does not name a company beyond the Gistr brand; it reports tens of thousands of users, including students at Columbia, UCSF, and King's College London, and offers student and educator discounts.
Free plan includes 500 monthly AI credits and limited collections. The cheapest paid tier (Curious) starts around $8/month per third-party pricing coverage; higher Explorer and Thinker tiers add more capable models and deeper research, up to roughly $49/month. Exact tier prices were not shown on the page fetched directly.
Use tool ↗Gistr is built for pulling insight out of long source material a user would otherwise have to sit through or scroll past, auto-highlighting a podcast or lecture video and allowing a jump straight to the relevant moment. It competes directly with tools like NotebookLM, and the free tier's 500 monthly credits are usable for evaluation but will not cover heavy daily research.
