Distillr

Distillr is an AI-powered reading and research assistant designed to help users quickly understand and extract value from long-form content such as articles, reports, PDFs, and web pages. Its primary purpose is to “distill” complex or lengthy material into clear, structured summaries and actionable insights, reducing the time required to process information while preserving key details and context. By automating the first pass of reading and note-taking, Distillr supports more focused, higher-level thinking and decision-making.

The tool typically offers multi-level summarization, allowing users to choose between concise overviews and more detailed breakdowns of the source material. It can identify main arguments, supporting evidence, and critical data points, often organizing them into bullet points, sections, or thematic clusters for easier review. Many implementations include the ability to ask follow-up questions in natural language, enabling users to probe deeper into specific aspects of the content without re-reading the entire document. Distillr may also support content import from URLs, uploaded files, or integrated platforms, centralizing diverse sources in one workspace.
