Gist Discover
AI-summarized research papers from arXiv in layered slide decks
Visit gist.is ↗What is Gist Discover?
Gist Discover helps researchers and students stay current with AI research by distilling arXiv papers into fast, digestible summaries. Each paper appears as a clean slide deck with four layers: a one-sentence gist, a logic breakdown with evidence, an AI-generated counter-argument, and a rebuttal. Built-in text-to-speech lets you listen while browsing.
The free feed displays papers in random order with no signup required. The maker trained a custom model specifically for this task using Claude Opus and Gemini, then distilled it into Gemini 2.5 Flash for speed and cost efficiency. The interface resembles a social feed, making it easy to scroll through summaries in about 10 seconds each.
