Why Distilled
Every day brings more articles, videos, and threads than anyone could read. Most of it says the same thing a dozen other things already said. Some of it says nothing at all. Distilled tells you which is which — before you spend the time, not after.
Every verdict is one of three things
Genuinely new, worth real attention.
True, but not new — a repackaging of something you already know.
Nothing of real substance here.

Signal, Echo, or Noise — plus the full 13-field breakdown when there's something worth reading.
Frequently asked
What do Signal, Echo, and Noise mean?▾
Signal: genuinely new, worth real attention. Echo: true, but not new — a repackaging of something already known. Noise: nothing of real substance here.
What's in the full breakdown?▾
13 fields, always in the same order — from The Claim through Connected To. Every verdict — Signal, Echo, and Noise — shows the full breakdown immediately, on Free and Pro alike.
Is the free preview really free?▾
Yes — pasting a link, video, or file only extracts and previews the content. Nothing is spent until you click Analyze, which shows the exact credit cost first and requires signing in.
How do credits work?▾
Roughly 1 credit per 3,000 words, with a 2-credit minimum per submission. The exact cost is always shown before anything runs.
Can I save what I analyze?▾
Free accounts see the verdict once, at submission time. Pro can save — Signal saves automatically, Echo and Noise are your choice.
What's Connected To?▾
Once you've saved a few Distills, Distilled looks for genuine conceptual links between what you're reading now and what you've saved before — not just shared keywords.
