More often than not, employees get their priorities mixed up by focusing on low-leverage tasks instead of the ones that move the needle. Misplaced prioritization is often caused by the lack of clarity, whether it’s misunderstanding the goals and objectives they need to accomplish or which tasks that will have the most significant impact on their work or the organization’s success.
Traditionally, it is key to categorize one’s workload items according to their degree of importance and urgency. But with the presence of multiple apps, channels, and systems in place, chasing these tasks is work in itself, from browsing through a mountain of notifications, and responding to a flood of emails, to jumping between several communication platforms.
This is a common workplace pain that theGist acknowledges. To combat this, the leading global productivity AI company has announced that they’re launching a Unified AI Workspace, which creates a radical personalized focus on what’s most important for employees.
This new generation product is being introduced after the successful release of theGist for Slack late last year. theGist for Slack has been widely adopted by numerous companies and was one of the pioneering products to emphasize the importance of integrating AI tools in the workplace.
Today’s launch marks a significant advancement by bringing the capabilities of AI beyond individual apps and extending its influence to encompass the entire digital workspace of employees. This includes providing support for related items, offering valuable insights, managing tasks, facilitating daily focus, generating text, providing summaries, and enabling actions within the workspace.
How does it work?
Itzik Ben Bassat, Co-Founder & CEO of TheGist, stated: “Our founding team believes in the popular Da Vinci quote: ‘Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.’ As such, we called the company theGist because our goal is to create radical focus and extreme performance by allowing AI to sort out all the noise and laser focus you on what’s truly important. What differentiates theGist and enables our AI models to be accurate is the focus on personalization, which eliminates the hallucination problem of LLMs.”
theGist creates customized knowledge graphs that establish connections between projects, individuals, and subjects. This transformation brings about enhanced concentration and efficiency by providing practical insights and streamlined workflows. In essence, theGist consolidates employees’ dispersed work into a single workspace, augmenting their capabilities with the formidable power of AI. Essentially, theGist serves as the ultimate fusion of every employee’s scattered work in one workspace, supercharging their abilities with the power of AI.
theGist Co-Founder Nir Zohar added: “AI excels at sorting, analyzing, and connecting vast amounts of information, while humans possess the unique ability to draw personalized conclusions aligned with their perspectives and organizational goals. At TheGist, our goal is to leverage AI for routine calculations, empowering individuals to focus on the work they do best.”
Today, the company has launched its Beta to selected partners. Companies and individual users can now sign up for the waitlist. theGist will gradually increase the product’s availability to signees in the upcoming months.
