"So basically what I'm thinking is, umm, how to explain this, the product should help people capture their thoughts when they're on the go. You know, something like, you're walking the dog or in the shower and you have this brilliant idea and then, poof, it's gone. So we need something where you just, umm, hit record, talk, and then the AI kind of like, figures out what you actually meant. Not just transcribe it but like, actually make it make sense. Because my voice notes are, umm, honestly a total mess. And then, wait what was I saying? Oh yeah, and then turn that into something you can actually use. Like a LinkedIn post or, umm, a project brief or whatever. The whole pipeline, from rambling to something real."
Distilled
"Build a voice-first capture tool for ideas that strike on the go. Core pipeline: record a raw thought, AI transcribes and refines it into a clear idea, then generate polished outcomes — posts, briefs, specs. The key insight: don't just transcribe, distil. Turn rambling into clarity. One pipeline from raw thought to finished output."

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about capturing and refining your ideas

Simply tap record and speak your thoughts. Your voice is transcribed in real-time using advanced AI (OpenAI Whisper). The audio is processed temporarily for transcription and never stored - only your transcribed text is saved. Works great on mobile while walking, driving, or whenever inspiration strikes.

MindDistil uses Claude by Anthropic for idea refinement and content generation, and OpenAI Whisper for voice transcription. These are the same AI models used by leading companies. Your content is processed securely and never used to train AI models.

You can create custom writing styles by providing examples of your best writing or describing your preferred tone. MindDistil learns your voice and applies it to all generated content - so outputs sound authentically you, not generic AI. Create different styles for different purposes: casual social posts, professional articles, or personal notes.

Yes. Your notes, ideas, and content are yours. We don't sell your data or use it for advertising. Voice recordings are processed temporarily and not stored. AI providers (Anthropic, OpenAI) process your content securely and don't use it for training. You can export or delete all your data anytime from your profile.

Notes are raw captures - voice recordings or quick text. Ideas are refined concepts that emerge from your notes, which you can iterate on with AI until they crystallize. Projects are where mature ideas go - with full context about audience, tone, and goals to generate polished content. Think of it as a funnel: capture everything, refine the promising stuff, publish the best.
