Your channelsYour rules.Filter, monitor, analyze.
Gista reads your Telegram channels, cuts the noise, and keeps what actually matters: a scheduled digest or real-time monitoring — with sentiment, no duplicates, straight to your DMs.
One engine — three jobs
Describe your interest in plain words — Gista filters the Telegram stream for your task.
How it works
Not just a digest — analytics too
We don't just filter news for your interests — we give you deep analytics on top of it: top topics, newsmakers with mention sentiment, and who reports an event first versus who reprints it. The same sentiment engine powers brand monitoring — you can see at a glance whether people are praising or criticizing you. Here's what it looks like in practice — see a live example.

When we are not a fit
Honest scoping saves your time. Gista is not for you if you need:
Instant alerts by default
The plain news filter arrives on a schedule you set. Competitor, brand and mention monitoring have a separate “as soon as possible” mode — within minutes of a post — but that's the exception for those jobs, not the default behavior.
Sources beyond Telegram
RSS, X, websites — not yet. We read public Telegram channels.
Private channels
Only publicly accessible channels can be monitored.
Broadcasting to an audience
Digests are personal. This is not a tool for mass mailouts.
What users say
“Five minutes over coffee — and I'm caught up. Replaced an hour of scrolling.”
“Set up a rental tracker — it caught an apartment two hours after posting, before any aggregator.”
“Interest fields in plain words are the killer feature. I wrote what I want, what counts only under conditions, and what I never want to see — the noise was gone. Every pick comes with a why, so I actually trust the filter.”
FAQ
Which channels can I connect?
Any public Telegram channel. Private channels and group chats are not supported.
How do I write good interest fields?
Write plain sentences, as if briefing a human assistant, and be specific. “Two-bedroom rentals in Belgrade under €700, near a metro station” works much better than “real estate”. Numbers, locations, brands and dealbreakers all sharpen the filter.
What are the three interest fields for?
“Definitely interesting” — always delivered, even past the threshold. “Conditionally interesting” — delivered when your condition is met. “Noise” — never delivered, and it outranks the other two: if a post matches noise, it's out.
When does the digest arrive?
At the hours you choose, in your timezone. If a scheduled issue is ever missed, the next engine run catches it up — you won't lose an issue.
Why didn't a post make it into my digest?
Either it scored below your threshold, matched your noise field, or was merged into a duplicate story. The stats page shows the reasoning for every scored post.
How much does it cost?
Free while in beta. Paid plans will come later — with a free tier staying.
