  • a16z-Backed Scribenote Rolls Out Free Plan for Veterinary AI Scribe Platform

    Scribenote

    Kitchener, Ontario: Scribenote, the AI-powered medical scribe platform designed exclusively for veterinary professionals, has announced the launch of a Free Plan to accelerate adoption across veterinary practices in North America.

    The move comes in the wake of growing demand and recent momentum, including an $8.2 million funding round led by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z).

    With the veterinary profession facing a critical burnout crisis and increasing documentation demands, Scribenote’s AI scribe transforms real-time speech into structured SOAP medical records within seconds, eliminating hours of after-hours note-taking.

    “Veterinarians didn’t join the profession to drown in admin work. They joined to heal and connect,” said Ryan Gallagher, Co-founder and CEO of Scribenote. “The platform is bringing joy back into veterinary work by removing the burden of documentation. And now, with the Free Plan, cost is no longer a barrier.”

    Key Features of Scribenote Free Plan:
    • Unlimited AI-generated medical records using Scribenote default templates
    • Team collaboration tools via Teams Mode
    • Self-service documentation and AI chat support

    Premium features – such as Adaptive Templates, Client Summaries, Multilingual Support, and human-led customer support – remain part of Scribenote Pro. All new users receive a two-week free trial of the Pro version upon signup.

    Solving the Burnout Epidemic with AI

    Veterinary professionals cite burnout, outdated software, and staffing shortages as leading industry challenges.

    Unlike generic AI tools, Scribenote is built specifically for the veterinary workflow – enabling faster documentation, more patient interaction, and increased revenue opportunities. Early adopters have reported a 70% reduction in time spent on documentation and improved staff morale.

    “AI is evolving rapidly and becoming more affordable. Our mission is to ensure these advancements directly benefit the veterinarians on the front lines,” added Gallagher.

    Record Growth and Industry Impact

    Since its inception in 2019, the platform has grown from a personal project for Gallagher’s sister – herself a veterinarian – into a market-leading platform with the largest enterprise rollout of AI scribing software in the veterinary sector.

    Despite 40+ competitors entering the space, Scribenote has tripled its user base in the last year alone.
