Problem

Someone encountering Distill for the first time — especially someone already familiar with other tools in the token/context space — has no quick way to understand what makes Distill distinct. The current docs require reading several paragraphs to get there.

Goal

Add a single, scannable line near the top of the README that answers "how is this different?" without requiring context about competitors.

Candidate framing

Other tools compress what goes into your agent. Distill controls what your agent remembers — across sessions, without conflicts, ranked by what matters now.

Or shorter:

CLI output compression is a different problem. Distill is for persistent, deduplicated, task-relevant memory.

Acceptance criteria

• One-sentence differentiator present in README within the first screen of content
• Same line (or equivalent) present in docs landing page
• No competitor names required to make the distinction clear
