The vital 20% of any book — or the pitch on any movie — in the time it takes to read this page.

Story Distiller is a small AI tool: type a book title (or just a topic), and it reads the book down to what actually matters — the core framework as an infographic, seven high-impact takeaways with real examples, and a practical plan to put it to work. No skimming, no book report, no 300 pages.

It applies the Pareto principle to itself: instead of a wall of text, every distillation follows the same repeatable shape, so you always know where to look.

Type a movie instead, and you get something deliberately different: a spoiler-free pitch — premise, tone, themes, and what to watch next if you liked it — plus real streaming, rental, and purchase availability, so you can actually decide what to watch tonight.

Why it's useful

01

Skip the filler

Get the vital few ideas that carry most of a book's value — not a summary of every chapter.

02

One consistent shape

Thesis → framework → 7 takeaways → action plan, every time. Compare books at a glance.

03

Concrete, not vague

Every takeaway ships with a real example or analogy — never a restatement of the title.

04

Built to act on

A "put it to work" section turns each idea into something you could start this week.

05

Yours to keep

Download or copy any distillation as clean Markdown — drop it in your notes app or share it.

06

Zero setup to try

Demo mode works instantly with no API key, so you can see it before configuring anything.
