In our current world, people are often overwhelmed with information. We are in need of new productivity technology to help us obtain the value we need from our material. In 2002, an American science fiction action film directed by Steven Spielberg came out called Minority Report. This fascinating fictional film explored ideas for future technology and how they could use it to extract important information to solve crimes before they happened (as well as many other thriller aspects).
During its pre-production, Spielberg consulted numerous scientists in an attempt to present a more plausible future world than that seen in other science fiction films. Some of the technology designs in the film have proven prescient. Of course, they believed this world would be representing the year 2054. But in fact, these technologies have been created now in 2021, 33 years early.
Enter Gistify, the new navigation tool for audio and video content.
What’s Gistify?
Especially during the Covid-19 pandemic, people have been conducting meetings online in order to effectively collaborate. Today’s technology allows for those collaborative sessions to be recorded.
That said, how effective are existing methods for reviewing that recorded content? Are you really going to re-watch that 45-minute project planning meeting? Can you effortlessly find that one moment you missed? How can the team easily extract value from those saved meetings and calls?
What if you could magically extract all the relevant information from your meetings and personalize it for each of the individual perspectives? Wouldn’t that be compelling?
The fact is that with multiple participants in these collaborative sessions, it’s particularly difficult to automatically assess and derive pertinent information that is uniquely relevant to each participant. And yet this is where Gistify excels.
The Gistify service allows you to transform your media into a new, visual experience, creating an interactive tool, a “rolling abstract” of keywords and other visual elements, that allows those viewing the content to easily identify relevance and extract meaning without necessarily having to listen to or view the associated rich media content.
Imagine being able to find that key moment from your meeting in 30 seconds or less!
Gistify’s novel, time-varying visualization, extracted from the raw media, is composed of words and word phrases derived from the underlying speech processing technology. Future extensions of this visualization will integrate other extracted elements from the source media, including the potential to identify specific speakers, active gestures, emotions, sentiments, intent, tone, mood, and more. These newly extracted elements may be visually represented by icons, emojis, images, and avatars, to name a few.
The Gistify service is built on Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies but more appropriately fits into the category of Intelligence Augmentation (IA), demonstrably enhancing the abilities of the user interacting with the interactive visualization. Gisitfy’s visualization may be sufficient for you to scan the content and sufficiently recall the moment, thereby never having to actually review the underlying, raw media.
What About Audio Files?
In today’s busy world, you don’t always get a chance to be on one of these video collaboration platforms. Even with audio calls, you may still end up with a really lengthy recording that you’ll have to listen to.
Today’s experience for audio playback looks something like this:
But with Gistify’s solutions, you add value to audio recordings like the example below. You get that same visual experience, showcasing the important elements extracted from the audio content, allowing you to easily scan the “rolling abstract” to find that important moment.
