AI Scribes Slash Doctors’ Documentation Time
Freed AI, launched by ex-Facebook engineers in 2022, automates clinical note-taking with specialty-aware transcription and modular AI. Now at 20,000 paying clinicians and 3 million patient visits monthly, it cuts 2–3 hours of documentation daily. As competitors eye free scribes, Freed doubles down on accuracy, user feedback loops, and EHR integrations to stay ahead.
Freed AI Streamlines Medical Documentation
Generative AI has proven invaluable for transcription, and Freed AI applies it to healthcare. Founded in 2022 by former Facebook engineers Erez Druk and Andrey Bannikov, Freed listens to patient visits, captures medical terminology, and generates structured clinical notes without doctors lifting a finger.
Clinicians spend over 11 hours weekly on documentation. Freed users—now 20,000 strong—save 2–3 hours per day, translating to nearly 3 million visits transcribed monthly. These time dividends restore work-life balance and improve job satisfaction.
A Modular AI Pipeline Built for Medicine
Freed’s architecture starts with a fine-tuned Whisper model optimized for clinical vocabularies. Beyond raw transcription, it layers hundreds of AI tasks to filter small talk, enforce medical standards, and match user-specific templates. Continuous learning from clinician edits refines accuracy over time.
Competitive Landscape and Pricing
The AI scribe market is heating up. Doximity now offers a free ambient scribe, signaling commoditization. Freed maintains its edge through specialty-aware AI, stringent compliance, and a modular design that clinicians trust.
- Individual clinicians: $90/month (7-day trial)
- Teams of 2–9: $84/user per month
- Custom enterprise pricing for 10+ users
Focus on Small Practices
Instead of chasing large hospital contracts, Freed serves over 1,000 small clinics and solo practices. This long-tail strategy supports the 40% of clinicians in private practice who lack multimillion-dollar IT budgets.
Future Roadmap and Integration
Freed is building internal benchmarks across 30 note-quality criteria to set industry standards. Upcoming releases include deeper EHR integrations via a Chrome extension and automated note transfers to common health record systems.
Clinician Impact Stories
User feedback highlights transformational effects: one physician reclaimed weekends and avoided closing her practice; another after 44 years wished Freed existed decades ago. A survey showed 100% improved work-life balance and 80% better patient care.
