Download button not working
Using Edge the download button at bottom of thread is not working properly. When pressed it says “Downloading pdf” if pdf chosen but does not go through rest of dialogue and you have no choice of where to save it. When asked, the AI responded, !The Gistr export flow is: Share modal → Download tab → Notes → PDF format → Download PDF. Make sure you're clicking the final Download PDF button in the preview panel (not just the format selector), and that a new tab or window doesn't open briefly and close itself — if it does, a pop-up blocker is likely swallowing the download. If you're still stuck, you can reach out to Gistr support through the in-app chat widget, and they can help investigate further.” When I used share button on top right rather than download icon under thread and followed the steps then it worked as described.
Feature Request: Persistent Knowledge Base & Instruction Sets
The customer, Vedic, is requesting a new feature in Gistr to enable more efficient and consistent repeated document analysis workflows. The core request is for functionality similar to Gemini Gems or Microsoft Copilot Agents, allowing users to create a reusable AI agent. This agent would include: 1. A permanent, reusable set of instructions (prompt) that can be applied automatically to new tasks. 2. A permanent, reusable knowledge base (reference documents) that the system can refer to for every new analysis without re-uploading. The customer provided an example of evaluating student exam papers (10-100+ papers in a batch) against a fixed set of 5 mathematics textbooks and a detailed analysis prompt. They emphasize that this capability would eliminate the need to re-enter prompts or re-upload reference materials for each new document, significantly improving efficiency and consistency for recurring workflows. This feature is seen as valuable for various roles including teachers, trainers, certification bodies, and researchers. The Gistr admin has acknowledged the request, noting that a 'Skills' feature for reusable instructions is under development, but the integration of a dedicated, persistent knowledge base within a skill presents a unique challenge, which is being logged as a feature request.
Incorrect Artifact Generation & Credit Loss
The customer reports that generated artifacts are not matching the provided prompts. Specifically, when requesting 'part 4', the system generated 'part 5'. This issue resulted in the generation of unnecessary artifacts and a subsequent loss of customer credits.
Claude opus and sonnet not working
Without Claude, all remaining models are useless. However, claude is not working despite several attempts.
Document artifact
My documennt could not be generated using claude since it was mixed up with previous conversation. That is fine as long as we can answer the ai’s questions to continue. But a chat function is not there yet. Is it also possible to make a exportable markdown document on top of the beautifull pdf’s
Gistr Mobile: Text Formatting Bar Missing in Notes
Customer reports that the text formatting bar is not available when adding notes manually to a source within the Gistr mobile application. The customer specifically states they cannot find the 'format' bar, as demonstrated in a GIF previously provided by support, when attempting to write notes on their mobile device.
Gistr Chrome Extension: Unable to Add YouTube Video to Existing Thread
The customer reports that when using the Gistr YouTube Chrome extension's "Save to Gistr" button, videos are saved as new threads within a collection, rather than being added as a source to an existing thread in a collection. The customer also notes an inability to move a video saved as a new collection thread into an existing collection thread. Admin confirmed this is a known flaw where the extension creates a new thread automatically due to the video URL changing and the extension refreshing. A workaround was provided: add the source beforehand in Gistr web, then open the Chrome extension. The team is actively working on a solution to allow users to add multiple sources to an existing thread without interruption.
Feature Request: Source Labeling and Filtering for AI Questioning
I would like the ability to put labels on sources and then filter these sources to ask questions specifically on the chosen labels. This would greatly improve the accuracy and relevance of AI answers, especially when dealing with threads that contain a large number of sources, which Gistr currently struggles with.
