If you work in clinical practice, you already know this truth.
Great care happens in the session.
Paperwork happens after.
And the paperwork never seems to end!
Session notes. Referral letters. Progress reports. Client summaries.
All important. All time consuming. All stealing energy from the work that actually matters.
This is exactly why the addition of AI Assist in Bookem feels like such a turning point.
This is not AI for the sake of AI.
This is AI designed around real clinical workflows.
From conversation to clean, professional documents
With AI Assist, Bookem’s AI scribe turns recorded sessions or voice notes into structured, professional documents in minutes.
Not just notes, but:
session and progress notes
referral letters
reports
client friendly summaries
You record once.
AI Assist does the heavy lifting.
You review, refine, and save.
The result is documentation that is faster to create, easier to standardize, and still very much clinician led.
Built for documents, not just transcription
What really sets AI Assist apart is how well it handles document creation.
Bookem uses AI document templates, which means your prompts, structure and formatting are built into reusable templates. You are not starting from scratch every time.
That means:
consistent note structures across a practice
referral letters that always include the right details
reports that look polished and professional
Templates can be simple for everyday notes or fully formatted for formal correspondence. Once set up, they work again and again.
Smarter output through real clinical context
AI Assist does not rely on a transcript alone.
It can use:
the session recording
the client profile
previous notes
uploaded documents
clinician instructions through prompts
This added context makes a real difference. The output feels more accurate, more relevant, and far closer to how clinicians actually write.
Built for South African practices and multilingual care
One of the most powerful and often overlooked features of AI Assist is its language support.
Bookem allows clinicians to record sessions in Afrikaans and choose whether the transcription and final document is generated in Afrikaans or English.
That means you can work naturally in the language of the session, without translating afterwards or changing how you practice.
AI Assist also supports foreign languages, making it easier to document sessions with multilingual clients while still producing clear, professional clinical records.
For South African practices, where bilingual and multilingual care is the norm rather than the exception, this is not a nice to have. It is essential.
Full control stays with the clinician
AI Assist is designed to support clinicians, not replace judgement.
You can:
edit or regenerate content
adjust tone and formatting
refine prompts over time
choose your AI model
review everything before it becomes part of the client record
Nothing is final until you say it is.
All inside one system
Because AI Assist sits inside Bookem’s practice management system, everything stays in one place.
No copying and pasting.
No jumping between platforms.
No lost documents.
Notes, referrals and reports are created directly inside the client record, ready for sharing or future reference.
Less admin. Better records. More time for care.
AI Assist does not try to make clinicians work faster at the expense of quality.
It helps clinicians document better, with less effort.
Smart documentation is not just faster.
It is more accurate, more inclusive, and better suited to the real world clinicians work in.
That is what makes AI Assist in Bookem such a powerful addition.
