You picked a page. The answer was somewhere else.
Distill is a careful watcher of pages you already trust. webwhen is for the moments when you do not yet know which page will hold the answer.
A watcher needs a page. An agent needs a question.
Distill is a thoughtful tool. You install the extension, point it at a page, choose the region or text you care about, and it tells you when that piece changes. People use it well, for years, for things that live at a known URL.
webwhen starts from the other end. You write the question first — 'when does the next Nintendo Direct get announced', 'when does this PhD program open applications', 'when does that conference release its schedule' — and the agent decides where to look, what counts as a real answer, and when to tell you. The page is an implementation detail.
If you already have the URL and the selector, Distill is a fine companion. If you only have the question, webwhen is the shape of tool you want. Neither replaces the other; they answer different sentences.
Distill needs a page. webwhen needs a question. The difference shows up the moment you do not yet know which URL holds your answer.
Try webwhen instead.
Free while in beta. No setup, no configuration. The agent decides everything.
