Team knowledge evaporates daily — pairing sessions, debugging context, architectural rationale lost to Slack. Distillery captures it at the point of creation, connects it into a living graph, and surfaces it conversationally. It monitors feeds, tracks what matters to your projects, and alerts you before you know to ask. A team brain that learns.
