Turning the EHR into an intelligent, conversational partner is one of the hardest problems in clinical AI. The gap between a flashy demo and a production-grade clinical assistant is much wider than people think! Today we shipped Chart Chat! Check it out 👇

Excellent keynote from @j_r_a_m at #AIMI25. LLMs are advancing rapidly, but realizing the benefits in real-world clinical settings is not guaranteed. Monitoring and evaluating AI tools at scale at large health systems is an exciting open problem for our industry.

Our RFT-tuned reasoning system listens to visit audio, integrates relevant EHR context, & recommends precise ICD-10 codes in real-time. This supports clinicians at the point-of-care, improving reimbursement integrity and reducing compliance risk.

Excited to launch our new thing! We're building Srcbook (pronounced "source-book"). Srcbook is a TypeScript notebook, powered by node. It's open-source, free & runs locally on your machine. More info on getting started + videos 👇 (retweet appreciated!)
