What is History Companion (Summi)?

Summi our History Companion will help you quickly review and summarize a patient’s medical history.

Updated this week

Meet Summi, your History Companion. Summi a Beta feature, available for Pro plan users to try for a limited time, is designed to help you quickly review and summarize a patient’s medical history.

With Summi, you can upload patient records and interact with an AI assistant to generate clear summaries, retrieve key details, and answer questions about patient history. Simply upload a PDF and ask questions like “@summi what meds is the patient currently on?” or “@Summi does the patient have any existing allergies?”

⚠️ Note:

  • Summi our History Companion is intended as a reference aid only. It should not be used to create diagnoses or make clinical recommendations.

  • Summi is different from client summaries. Client summaries are created after an appointment, while Summi works from uploaded patient records to help you review and summarize a patient’s medical history.

If you’d like to try Summi, just go to your Account page, open Preferences, and toggle on Companion Beta.
