About GistCite
GistCite turns YouTube videos, documents, recordings and web pages into transcripts, clean text and AI summaries that cite the exact second or page they came from — to copy, question, draft from, or call from an API. It is built for independent professionals, content creators, researchers and developers who work across all of those sources and want one tool, one account and one quota.

What we are
GistCite is a content extraction and ai research toolkit: one product that gets the substance out of long sources and turns it into work you can hand over. The category is explained on what is a content extraction toolkit.
An independent product, built and operated by a small team. We publish what the product runs on, what each action costs and which audits we have not done, because a tool people put their research through should be checkable.
Who we serve
- Independent professionals and consultants
- Content creators and podcasters

How we work
- Files are processed in memory and never stored; only extracted text is kept, and you can delete it.
- The cost of every action is shown before it runs.
- Security claims say what has and has not been audited.
- The web app and the API are the same product with the same quota.
- No advertising, no tracking pixels, no third-party cookies.
