We built Gist because social media wasn't built for the conversations people actually want to have. So we built something better.
Social media is broken. Not because there's too little content — because there's no real conversation. People scroll, react, and move on. Voices get buried. Opinions go unheard. Gist is built to fix that.
We're building a social platform where your take actually lands — where you can post, debate, connect, and discover people who think alongside you. Not a passive feed. A real social space for real people with real things to say.
Every post, take, and debate on Gist comes from a real person. We prioritise genuine expression over algorithmic amplification.
What's happening in your city matters. Gist treats local voices as first-class — not an afterthought buried below national trends.
We don't just want you to scroll. We want you to post, debate, reply, and connect. Social media should feel like a conversation — not a broadcast.
Our AI helps surface the right content, illustrate complex ideas, and support real discussions. It does not replace human expression — it amplifies it.
Gist is built by a focused team of engineers, product designers, and people who care deeply about how communities connect online. We're small by choice — fast, opinionated, and obsessed with the product.
