The excessive workload and inundation of information that employees consistently encounter result in the disorganization of tasks and priorities. Without a clear understanding of what’s important and what isn’t, employees are bound to experience a decline in productivity, and ultimately burnout.
According to a report published by HR Review UK, 80% of employees cite that their work stress and burnout are primarily caused by information overload. From the constant bombardment of emails, chat messages, and reports, to non-stop notifications, effectively managing their tasks while maintaining a healthy work-life balance is a daily challenge that’s yet to be solved.
The Art of Prioritizing
To ease these pains, employees must learn the art of prioritizing. But with the avalanche of apps and digital tools, managing one’s workload has become extremely complex, and narrowing down one’s priorities is an even bigger conquest.
In a nutshell, employees no longer control their apps; their apps control them. This is a glaring gap that theGist aims to bridge. Founded in 2022, theGist is the first-of-its-kind smart AI and machine learning workspace. Just recently, the company announced the launch of its flagship product – a unified workspace powered by AI that creates a radical personalized focus on what's most important. theGist centralizes employees' work apps into one AI-powered cross-app hub.
"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," said Itzik Ben Bassat, Co-Founder & CEO of TheGist.
Combating the Two Biggest Challenges for Employees
A unified workspace is a valuable solution to tackle two major obstacles encountered by employees:
The first challenge involves constantly switching between different contexts, which research has shown can result in a significant decrease in productivity. The second challenge pertains to engaging in low-value tasks instead of identifying and prioritizing the ones that truly have a substantial impact.
The introduction of this advanced product follows the successful release of theGist for Slack towards the end of 2022. Serving a multitude of companies, theGist for Slack was among the pioneering tools to recognize the necessity of integrating AI capabilities into the workspace.
This launch takes it a step further by harnessing the power of AI across various applications. This comprehensive approach includes providing relevant resources, insights, task management, daily focus, generative text, summaries, and actionable recommendations.
theGist Co-Founder Nir Zohar concluded, "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.”
