Distill
What it is
Distill is a web and API service for collecting online material and turning it into curated newsletters. It accepts articles, social posts, YouTube videos, podcasts, and other public pages. Firecrawl extracts the content, and Google Gemini creates summaries that users can edit. The newsletter editor supports categories, drag-and-drop ordering, and a rich-text foreword. Users can import subscribers by CSV, manage multiple lists, and use deduplication and double opt-in; purchased lists are not allowed. Newsletters are sent through Amazon SES, with custom sending-domain verification, scheduled timezone-aware delivery, and automatic bounce and complaint handling. Analytics track opens, clicks, engagement by link, and subscriber activity history. The Free plan includes 100 subscribers, 20 links per month, one newsletter, and one workspace. Paid plans start at $12 a month; Pro includes API access. Distill is presented for realtors, financial advisors, and consultants who want to keep clients informed.
