Innovation through Algorithmic Insights
We created an AI company that was successfully acquired, and delivered AI solutions across multiple industries. We focus on AI solutions specifically for companies that don’t have in-house data scientists, or those looking for more help and leadership.

About Us
At Gist "Labs" we take being scientists seriously. We hypothesize, experiment, learn, and deliver.
We have a long history in this relatively new space. John Heintz co-founded AptageAI (a small data decision insights engine forecasting project management) that successfully exited via acquisition in 2020. Our experts have built systems ranging from simulating entire galaxies (including black holes) to autonomous off-road vehicles to medical analysis systems. We know what we are doing.
Our Services
We are a multidisciplinary team with a history of solving hard problems. We are experts in:
- small data, decision support and business modeling.
- large and complex data models and simulations
- building usable AI systems that convey insights in actionable ways
