  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.

  description: >-
    Publisher ingest API for the Gist Content Network. Lets publisher partners push articles to ProRata
    in real time (`POST /ingest/article`) or in bulk for archival backfill (`POST /ingest/multiple_articles`),
    as an alternative to 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.

  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.

    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.
