AI doesn’t diagnose and doesn’t prescribe. With clear limits, it helps you keep up with the literature, dictate your letters, write your patient handouts, and run the practice. Your patients’ data stays out of online assistants.
AI helps physicians with tasks such as “Check what the literature says on a question,” “Find a point in the guidelines,” and “Dictate a letter to a colleague.” Start with a single task, in Consensus: allow 10 minutes the first time, and always review the result before you use it.
For each task: how it goes today, then with the tool. And the time it takes the first time.
Consensus · “Medical Mode,” in the “Corpus” menu
TodayBetween two appointments, a specific question comes up, and you don’t have an hour to sort through abstracts.
With ConsensusWhere the literature leans on your question, with the studies to open so you can judge for yourself.
Gemini Notebook · One notebook per topic
TodayYou know the guideline covers this case, but not on which of the document’s eighty pages.
With Gemini NotebookThe exact passage of the guideline, dated and cited, which you read in the original document.
Superwhisper · Custom mode, “Local” model
TodayReferral letters get typed in the evening, after the last appointment, and pile up from one day to the next.
With SuperwhisperA structured letter, written in your software while you speak, without your voice leaving the computer.
Also
A clear one-page handout, to reread and then hand over at the end of the appointment.

Elicit · “Find papers”

A one-page procedure, faithful to your rules, with the list of cases you still have to settle.
Claude · Incognito chat
The letter explained, the list of documents to gather, and a draft reply to review.
What to check
The meter rests on 5 to 20 studies: it gives a trend, not a course of action. Ask the question without anything that identifies a patient. Official guidelines and your clinical judgment come first.
Check what the literature says on a questionConsensus · “Medical Mode,” in the “Corpus” menuThe prompt to copy
In [the population: for example adults over 65 with uncomplicated hypertension], does [the intervention: for example supervised physical activity] reduce [the outcome: systolic blood pressure] compared with [usual care]? Meta-analyses and randomized controlled trials only, published since [2018], with more than [200] participants. Present the results in a table: study, population, intervention, outcome, measured effect, limitations.
