Example use cases
Research digest for agent pipelines
“I have a 5,000-word research paper I need condensed. Distill this content into key facts and an executive summary so I can feed just the essentials to my next reasoning step: [article text here].”
News article briefing
“Summarize this news article for me and pull out the key facts — I want the TL;DR version. Here's the full text: [article content]. Track the source as https://techcrunch.com/article/xyz.”
Token-efficient context compression
“This document is too long to fit in my context window. Can you distill it down and tell me what percentage of tokens were cut? Here's the raw text: [long document content].”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://api.molcloud.net/api/distill?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs to compress long-form text into a structured, token-efficient summary with explicit key facts — especially in agentic pipelines where downstream context windows are limited. It is well-suited for pay-per-use workflows where you only pay when summarization is needed, and when you want citation tracking via source URL alongside the distillation result.
Side effects
- Empty or missing content field returns an error — both url and content are optional but at least content should be provided for meaningful output
- Very short inputs may produce trivial summaries with minimal key facts
- Malformed JSON body returns a 400-level error
- x402 payment failure or insufficient USDC balance prevents the call from completing
- Content in unsupported languages may produce degraded summaries
