Distill

Which companies can I track with Distill?

You can track any company, globally, regardless of whether they are public or private. Unlike traditional finance tools that rely on stock ticker symbols, Distill allows you to track early-stage startups, private companies, and niche international players just as easily as Fortune 500 companies. If the company exists and has a website, Distill can track it.

How is Distill different from Google Alerts?

Google Alerts provides a raw list of links, often resulting in cluttered inboxes and repetitive headlines. Distill is an intelligence engine. It uses AI to group sources, summarize insights, and filter out low-value opinion pieces and duplicates.

Can I use Distill to track my competitors' social media activity?

Yes. Distill specifically monitors LinkedIn company posts. Companies often share their fastest updates on LinkedIn before a press release goes out, such as new hires, minor product updates, or partnerships. Distill captures these and presents them alongside traditional news.

How will I receive updates? Do I need to log in daily?

You do not need to log in to stay informed. Distill delivers insights where you already work via daily email recaps, weekly summaries, real-time alerts for critical updates, and direct Slack and Microsoft Teams integrations.
