Get the answers you need while you work. AI Chat helps you find details in a case or look up clinical insights without leaving your workspace or searching through piles of paper.



What Can You Ask?

Think of the AI Chat as a detail-oriented colleague who has read every page of the file for you. It helps you with two things:

  • Questions about your case. Get answers based on medical histories, lab reports, and recording transcripts for the patient you're seeing right now.

  • Clinical questions. Pull from trusted, web-accessible clinical sources for general protocols and guidelines.

Note: AI Chat is here to support your work. It is a tool to help you find information, not a replacement for your clinical judgment.

How It Works

Step 1: Open AI Chat From Your Case

Click on the chat icon within your current case. You can start typing your question naturally, just like you’re talking to a teammate.


Step 2: Chat Reviews the Case

The system automatically reviews everything attached to the case, including:

  • Uploaded medical histories and lab reports

  • Transcripts from your appointments

  • Your own case notes


Step 3: Review Sources

When CoVet AI Chat answers your question, it provides links to the original sources and a summary of the source quality.

Review the references to verify the details.


Step 4: Export and share

When a chat includes a breakthrough or a specific protocol you want to keep, you can export the conversation as a PDF.

Once exported, you can attach what you discussed to the medical record or share it with your team.



Examples of What You Can Ask

About your patients:

  • “Can you summarize the uploaded history in 3 bullet points?”

  • “What abnormal lab values are noted in the PDF?”

  • “When did the vomiting first start according to the record?”

About clinical protocols:

  • “What are current recommendations for managing feline hyperthyroidism?”

  • “What are the top differentials for acute onset ataxia in dogs?”

  • “What are common side effects of enrofloxacin?”

Tips for Best Results

  • Be specific in your questions. If you want to know about a certain document, make sure to mention it (e.g. "the uploaded referral letter").

  • Speak naturally. There is no need for special codes or formatting. Just ask your question the same way you'd ask another vet.
