How it works for explaining hard concepts
Practice that grades against the real thing
The Feynman technique surfaces the gap between recognising a concept and teaching it. Distill grades technical accuracy and listener clarity. Hand-waving, skipped steps, and the places a smart listener would interrupt all get flagged.
Take 5 of 8
Quantum tunneling explained
Overall score
- Nailed the wavefunction analogy. Listener will get it.
- Hand-waved on barrier energy around 03:20. Show why the particle penetrates instead of bounces.
- Slowed mid-section explaining decay rate. Smaller numbers, fewer constants, then circle back.

Features that pull the most weight here
The parts of Distill that matter most for this
Source Mode
Upload your deck, the job description, your one-pager, or the paper you're explaining. Distill learns the material so it can grade you against the real thing.
Question & Concept Drills
Paste the questions you want to drill or the concepts you need to explain. Distill runs you through each one and scores your answers.
Mock Q&A
After your rehearsal, Distill asks the follow-ups your real audience will ask, generated from your own material. Pick friendly, skeptical, or hostile mode.
Progress Over Time
Score history per project, weakness heatmap across attempts, calendar nudges before the real event. Watch yourself get better, not just busier.
The Scorecard
Every take is scored on coverage, clarity, pacing, fillers, and confidence. Each metric links back to the moment in your transcript.
