We’ve all been there, back from a vacation, refreshed and ready to take on the week with renewed motivation. Until you open Slack and realize you have to spend a whole day catching up on a seemingly endless list of threads.

The Gist wants to fix that. It’s a Slack plugin that uses generative AI to quickly summarize channels and threads into bite-sized pieces of information so you can get up to speed and focus on your work.

Once you install the plugin, anytime you’re overloaded with information, you can type the command /gist and hit enter to receive a summary of everything important. The Gist has a number of use cases ranging from keeping track of your conversations during Zoom meetings to getting a daily digest of all your most important channels every morning, and more.

Founder and CTO, Itay Dressler says there's more to come as well. In responding to Ryan Hoover's comment about auto-responding to DMs, Itay hinted that such a feature is on the way.
