Frequently asked questions

Which companies can I track?

You can track any company in the world as long as they have a website. It doesn't matter if it's a 5-person startup, a private competitor in Europe, or a giant like Apple. Unlike financial tools that only work with stock market tickers, Distill works for any private or public business.

Can I track topics or trends, not just companies?

Yes. You can follow any subject or industry trend, like AI safety, open banking, or semiconductor supply chains. Just enter what you want to follow along with a few keywords. Distill automatically searches the web for related stories, filters out the noise, and summarizes what's happening.

Why should I use Distill instead of Google Alerts?

Google Alerts sends you raw links every time a name is mentioned, which quickly floods your inbox with duplicate articles and spam. Distill is different:

  • No duplicates: If 10 publications cover the same announcement, we bundle them into one single update so you don't read the same headline 10 times.
  • Quick summaries: We write a short bulleted breakdown of what actually happened so you don't have to open every article.
  • More than just news sites: We also monitor company websites and LinkedIn pages, which Google Alerts usually misses.
Where does Distill find news and updates?

We check both third-party press coverage and the company's own channels:

  • Mainstream news outlets and industry trade publications.
  • Official company blogs, press release pages, and newsrooms.
  • Official LinkedIn company posts (where companies often share product updates and new hires first).
  • Local news across different languages (automatically translated to English).
Does Distill work for non-English news?

Yes. You can track companies based anywhere in the world. If an article or announcement comes out in a foreign language (like German, Japanese, or Portuguese), Distill translates it into English automatically.

How do I receive updates? Do I have to log in daily?

No, you don't need to log in to our website every day. You can get updates sent directly to where you and your team already work:

  • Email digests: Get a daily recap or a Friday email with bullet-point summaries of the biggest news across your companies and topics from the past week.
  • Slack or Microsoft Teams: Get real-time alerts posted straight into a team channel.
  • Web dashboard: Browse or search through your full news feed whenever you want.
Is there a free trial? Do I need a credit card?

Yes. We offer a 14-day free trial with full access to all features. If you sign up with your work email, no credit card is required. It takes about two minutes to add the companies or topics you want to track and choose where you want your alerts sent.

We also publish free Weekly Briefings covering the biggest events in tech every Friday, with no signup required.
