The Gist Mill

The Gist Mill is a small studio in the United States. The work that comes out of it is made by Pete — a physical therapist by trade, builder by long evenings — in collaboration with AI assistants. The practice of building this way is its own discipline: developing a clear picture of the idea, knowing when to defer to the assistant, when to override it, when to ask a question, when to do the work yourself.

The products are evidence the practice works. Savi, an AI concierge for retail plazas, runs as a prototype based on a local shopping center. Customized versions for small commercial/entertainment districts are in development. The Clipboard — currently in development — is being built for physical therapists to use when documenting care. Other things are being made.

The studio also offers Artisan Builds for small, considered projects, and Education for those who want to learn the practice itself. Progress on all of it is ongoing. Worth checking back.

Care over scale. Craft over speed. Small batches, made to fit.
