Portable AI scribe for vets who work across multiple clinics. Records the appointment, auto-generates the SOAP note, and exports to ANY PIMS via copy-clipboard, branded PDF, or email — no per-clinic integration required.

Problem

Relief vets and mobile/house-call vets work at 5-15 different clinics per month, each with a different PIMS (Avimark, Cornerstone, ezyVet, Pulse). Existing AI scribes (SwiftVet, ScribbleVet, CoVet, Scribenote) optimize for one PIMS per account. Relief vets pay $99-200/mo for a tool that breaks half the time at the new clinic. They want a portable AI scribe with multi-PIMS export (PDF + clipboard + email) that follows them between clinics.

Audience

US/Canada relief veterinarians (~12K), mobile house-call vets (~3K), and locum-tenens DVMs who rotate between 3+ clinics per month and don't own the PIMS contract. ARPU target: $69/mo (below SwiftVet Essential $99 but above Scribenote Free).

Reasoning

What we ship

**Core features (MVP)**

  • Mobile-first PWA: installs from Safari/Chrome onto iPhone/Android — works in the truck cabin without app-store hassle.
  • Tap-to-record during the appointment (Deepgram with vet-vocab tuning), pause/resume, auto-captured signalment at the start.
  • Auto-SOAP generation via Claude Sonnet 4.6: Subjective / Objective / Assessment / Plan + a DDx block.
  • One-tap multi-PIMS export: copy-to-clipboard (paste into any PIMS), branded PDF (logo + relief-vet name), email-to-clinic with PDF attachment.
  • $9 day-pass for episodic relief shifts — no monthly subscription needed for one-or-two-day work.

**Primary user flow**

1. Relief vet finds us in a "Relief Veterinarians of [State]" Facebook group or r/Veterinary.

2. Opens PWA on iPhone, OAuth via Google or email magic-link, picks Solo $69/mo or $9 day-pass.

3. At the appointment: opens PWA, taps "New Patient" → dictates signalment → hits Record during the exam.

4. After the appointment (60-90 sec later): SOAP is ready, vet edits, picks clinic destination → "Send to Clinic" tap → PDF emailed to clinic + copy in clipboard for the PIMS.

**What it looks like**

  • **Landing page**: hero "The AI scribe that follows YOU between clinics — not the other way around." Under hero: animated iPhone mock in a truck cabin running the PWA. CTA: "Try free for 14 days — 30 SOAP notes." Trust badge: "Relief-vet built, relief-vet first."
  • **Main app screen (PWA)**: huge red Record button center-screen, signalment field on top (species/breed/weight), live transcript underneath. After Stop: preview of SOAP structure with editable fields. Bottom bar: "Send to Clinic" / "Copy" / "Save Branded PDF".
  • **Output**: branded PDF with header "Dr. Jane Smith DVM, Relief Veterinarian" + clinic name + date + full SOAP structure. Plus a clipboard format already shaped for Avimark/Cornerstone/ezyVet (autodetected via clinic-config).

**MVP build plan (12 days)**

  • Day 1-3: FastAPI + Postgres + R2 (90-day TTL audio) on Railway, JWT auth, Stripe Subscriptions $69/mo + $9 one-time day-pass.
  • Day 4-7: Deepgram integration (vet-vocab boost), Claude Sonnet 4.6 SOAP pipeline, signalment auto-extract, DDx generation.
  • Day 8-10: PWA (React + Tailwind + service worker), record/pause/resume UI, multi-format export (clipboard / PDF / email via SendGrid).
  • Day 11-12: landing page, branded-PDF generator, Cloudflare Pages deploy, Reddit + Facebook launch posts.

Reasoning

SIG-vet-soap-notes-scribe shows a mature AI-scribe category: 4 active vendors (SwiftVet, Manta, ViggoVet, Scribenote) + large audience (~70K US vets, 15-20 min paperwork per appointment = top burnout driver).

Brave-search competitive check shows the **direct category is already saturated** — SwiftVet $40-200/mo, CoVet $99/mo, Scribenote with free tier. Going head-on against them = high competitive_pressure.

**However** — all 4 players optimize for single-PIMS-per-account workflow (clinic as customer). **Relief vets and mobile-vet segment remain unserved**: these DVMs physically work at 5-15 different clinics per month, don't control the PIMS contract at each clinic, and their paperwork is mainly sync-via-email or paper-handoff. This is a ~15K profession segment in US+CA with a very specific workflow.

Differentiator vs incumbents: **portable, PIMS-agnostic**. Export via clipboard copy, email PDF to clinic, or branded PDF for the vet themselves. No per-PIMS integrations — what incumbents treat as a moat is irrelevant to us. The relief vet pays themselves (not the clinic), so ARPU is realistic at $69/mo.

Stack-fit is strong: PWA for in-truck use (mobile-first), audio via Deepgram (vet-vocab), SOAP generation via Claude, Stripe subscriptions. 12-day build window adds +2 days to the 10-day baseline for PWA polish and audio-quality testing in real exam rooms.

Quick competitive read

  • **CoVet** (CMP-IDEA-006-covet): ambient-listening, $63 Essentials / $136 Unlimited per DVM annual. Multi-language (en/es/fr), offline mode, team-based workflows. Clinic-tier customer.
  • **ScribbleVet** (CMP-IDEA-006-scribblevet): $40 Essential (150 notes) / $150-200 Unleashed. Plumb's drug monograph + LifeLearn Sofie clinical decision support. Acquired by Instinct Science January 2026.
  • **Scribenote** (CMP-IDEA-006-scribenote): Free + Pro $79-130/mo. Closest individual-DVM positioning but no relief-specific UX. Premium feature emphasis (callback summaries).
  • **Manta** (CMP-IDEA-006-manta): $29.99 Basic / $59.99 Pro — most aggressive pricing. PIMS-agnostic one-click export. Generic vet-practice targeting (not relief-specific).
  • **VetGeni** (CMP-IDEA-006-vetgeni): $50 flat single tier with Wiley-licensed 739+ drug database, IDEXX integration, education platform. Strong clinic-DVM value prop.

**Market density: medium-high** (5+ active incumbents in the category). **Relief/mobile/locum DVM sub-segment remains unserved** — every named tool optimizes around clinic-account setup or generic individual-DVM. Our differentiators (PWA mobile-first for in-truck use, $9 day-pass, branded per-clinic PDF, no per-PIMS integration) are explicitly relief-vet workflow. Manta is the closest pricing competitor at $59.99 — we sit at $69 with relief-specific UX premium.

Initial pricing hypothesis

$69/mo Solo (unlimited SOAP notes, multi-PIMS export, PWA + mobile-first) or $9 day-pass for very episodic relief shifts. Annual 25% off. Free trial 14 days with 30 SOAP notes. Based on developed-tier solo subscription willingness ($10-100/mo) and below SwiftVet Essential ($99) — clear pricing wedge.

Distribution hypothesis

1) **Reddit organic**: r/Veterinary, r/VetTech, r/AskVet — relief-vet-specific threads complaining daily about PIMS fragmentation.

2) **Facebook groups**: "Relief Veterinarians of [State]" — closed groups with 5-30K vet members, key channel.

3) **VetPartners + AVMA conferences**: tabling at relief-vet networking events.

4) **Cold email**: licensed DVMs in US Veterinary Board databases (public records), filtered by relief/locum status.

5) **Affiliate with relief-staffing platforms** (Roo Vet, Vetted, IndeVets) — $30 commission per active user.
