Smart Questions

(( ANCHOR: Smart Questions ))

When you add a new source, Gistr generates a set of questions based on that specific content. They appear before you've typed anything.

Use them to jump-start your session, or ignore them and ask whatever you want. They're a starting point, not a constraint.

📸 SCREENSHOT: Newly added YouTube video. Below it, 4–5 dynamically generated Smart Questions appear as clickable prompts.

AI Memory

(( ANCHOR: AI Memory ))

Standing instructions you give the AI that carry forward across all sessions. Set it once — it applies every time.

About how you want responses:

  • "Always use bullet points"

  • "Include a comparison table when relevant"

  • "Keep responses under five sentences"

About you and your context:

  • "I'm preparing for a machine learning exam"

  • "I'm a beginner — explain from first principles"

  • "I'm researching [topic] for a project"

📸 SCREENSHOT: AI Memory settings panel. Two sections — "Response format" and "About you" — with example saved instructions and an "Edit" button.

To update Memory: tell the AI to replace what it has saved. Direct editing is coming soon.
