Gist

aid: gist
name: Gist
description: 'Gist is an AI brand-visibility, answer-engine and content-monetization platform built by ProRata (founded 2024)
  that helps publishers and advertisers stay visible, measurable and monetizable inside generative AI experiences. It ships
  three products: Gist GEO (generative engine optimization for consistent organic visibility in AI answers), Gist Ads (paid
  brand amplification placed directly in AI search surfaces, with native iOS and Android ad SDKs and a publisher ad tag),
  and Gist Answers (an embeddable, publisher-backed AI answer engine for on-site engagement and monetization). Behind those
  products sits a real developer surface documented at the Gist Developer Hub: the Prorata API Service (chat, streaming completions,
  citations, per-source attribution, threads, recommended and related questions, publisher management and document summarization)
  at api.gist.ai, the Gist Content API for publisher article ingestion, the Gist Content Network crawler and CMS/RSS ingestion
  paths, and the gist-chat-widget web component distributed from cdn.gist.ai. Gist positions itself as turning AI from a black
  box into a measurable, actionable channel for brands and content owners, with fair attribution and a 50/50 publisher revenue
  share as the stated basis of the model.'

    covers thread management, recommended and related question generation, publisher-group lookup and URL-scoped document
    summarization. Auth is an API key sent as `Authorization: Bearer <key>`, with an `X-User-ID` header naming the calling
    domain or organization on most operations.'

    the ProRataInc crawler, CMS integrations (WordPress, ArcXP, Strapi, Substack) or RSS feeds. Authenticated with a Publisher
    Group API key sent as `Authorization: Bearer <key>`; default limit 10 requests per minute. The documentation publishes
    the endpoint paths and payloads but does not publish the host, so no baseURL is recorded here rather than guessed.'

- name: Gist Ads Ad Tag and Display Ad API
  description: Advertising delivery surface for Gist Ads. Publishers load the `adtag.js` bundle from tp-at.prorata.ai and
    call `window.prtag.defineSlot({id, api_key, url, geo}, slotId, sizes, adTypes)` to request contextual ads against a search
    query; the ad tag then calls the display ad decision service (disp-api.prorata.ai, endpoints `/health`, `/decision`, `/api/v1/chat/`)
    and the search ad service (tp-srch-api.prorata.ai, which requires Publisher-ID and Publisher-Key headers). The same hosts
    back the first-party iOS and Android Gist Ads SDKs.

  reason: null
  detail: Round 1 recorded "no public API or developer surface". That was wrong. STEP 0b contract discovery found the Gist
    Developer Hub at platform.gist.ai (a ReadMe hub), its llms.txt, and the OpenAPI backing its API reference in the ReadMe
    API registry — a 16-operation OpenAPI 3.0.0 titled "Prorata API Service", confirmed against a live 200 from https://api.gist.ai/v1/health.
