About the startup

Be honest - when was the last time you watched a 2-hour conference talk and remembered more than the speaker's name? That's the exact problem that made me build this. How it works - Paste a URL (YouTube video, podcast episode, article — whatever) DistillNote processes the content automatically ~60 seconds later, you get a full structured note What you get back - TL;DR bullets - the whole thing in 3-5 sentences - Key takeaways - the stuff actually worth remembering - Chapters with timestamps - jump straight to the part you need - Highlighted quotes - notable lines pulled out automatically - Action items - concrete next steps extracted from the content You can also upload files directly if you're working with local audio, video, or documents. The goal isn't to replace watching or reading - it's to make sure the good stuff doesn't just evaporate from your brain 48 hours later. Example Dropped in a 90-minute Lex Fridman episode. Got back a clean summary, 12 timestamped chapters, and 4 action items I actually followed up on. Took about a minute. What's a video or podcast you wish you had notes for right now?
