Have a live voice conversation and point your camera or share your screen — the AI watches in real time and responds in context to what it sees while you talk. Plus live code, all wired into one tab.
Chat, voice, code, and Create share the same thread — no copy-paste between panels. Local Zooids run standalone on your own machine, even after you close the tab.

Department pilot · Free for one semester
Pilot it in one department. Free for a semester.
Every faculty member and student in one department gets access for a semester. We help with onboarding and give you a usage dashboard. You decide at the end whether to continue. No auto-billing, no lock-in.
Four short fields — institution, your name, email, and what you need.

ZooidColony
/ˈzoʊ.ɔɪd/ · ZOH-oyd · noun — one specialized member of a colony; it only works as part of the whole.
A Zooid is a small, specialized worker that runs on your own computer — drafting, researching, or keeping watch on a task, on your own local models, with nothing metered per run. Zooids live in a Colony: a shared sandbox on your machine where each one keeps its own specialty and picks up where another left off. Keep your Colony Local, share a Zooid with the people you choose, and — soon — connect to the Public Colony.
Local-first, by design. A Zooid does its thinking on your own machine — nothing about your work leaves it by default. When one hits a problem it genuinely can't solve or check on its own, it can ask a more capable outside model for help — but only with that one narrow, stripped-down question, never your task, data, or purpose, and only up to a spending cap you set. Off until you turn it on: the way to get top-tier reasoning on the hard parts without handing your work over to someone else's model.
Under the microscope: Zooids activating one another inside a Colony. Local and Shared today; the Public Colony is in development.
Enterprise · For institutions
Run AI across every campus from one dashboard.
One allocation for your whole institution. Group classes and teams into cohorts, launch Colonies and builds for entire classes, and see usage by campus, cohort and person. Counts only, never content. Included in department pilots.
A full AI environment — chat, live code, voice, live camera, and screen sharing in one place. Attach images, audio, video, PDF, and ZIP files directly in chat; the studio understands all of them.
AI chat with inline image generation and file context (images, audio, video, PDF, ZIP)
Live code editor — Python and JavaScript run in the browser, no install required
Create: PDF reports, slides (PPTX), spreadsheets, websites, and working apps
Converse — voice AI with a real-time camera and screen feed; it sees what you show it while you talk
A prepared knowledge layer for nine regulated industries — built from current authoritative sources, maintained as standards evolve. Compresses text, documents, images, audio, and video frames into a reusable hosted Crystal.
Nine regulated verticals — or compress your own sources
Benchmark-verified quality
Multimodal: text, images, audio, and video frames
Delivered as a Context Crystal — a hosted knowledge handle
A private knowledge handle — yours to build or subscribe to.
Subscribe to a vertical — PDC maintains the regulated-industry library, benchmarked against current standards. Query immediately, no setup required.
Compress your own sources — text, documents, images, audio recordings, or video frames. Any source material you own or are authorized to process. Your Crystal is encrypted at rest and in transit, accessible only to the API key that created it, and the compressed state is never returned or downloadable. Delete at any time, at no charge.
You can also use your ChatGPT or Claude conversation archive — export the ZIP, upload it, and your own research and decisions become a private, queryable Crystal. Step-by-step guide →
Mapped coursework from colleges and universities nationwide
Every course is a public research thread you can open, read, and question — the catalog entry, its description, and a tutor pinned to that course. Free to read, no account needed to look.

Better answers from sources too large to prompt.
Distil API is available as a standalone API. Compress a source, run queries against a hosted context handle, and bring domain-accurate answers into any application — no context window required.
Start free, then scale as your team's usage grows. Vertical subscriptions for Distil API are separate — see each vertical page for monthly pricing.
