Common Questions About Sully.ai

Sully has better AI technology

Sully's AI is built for hospital workflows — inpatient documentation, clinical decision support, and departmental coordination. For outpatient practices, you need AI that handles scheduling, patient communication, reputation management, and front-office automation. That's exactly what Samara's AI Teams are built for.

Samara's AI agents reduce no-shows by up to 90%, generate thousands of 5-star reviews, and save 20+ hours of staff time weekly — metrics that matter for outpatient practices.
Sully is a bigger, more established company

Size doesn't mean fit. Sully was built for 500+ bed hospitals with enterprise budgets and 6-month implementations. Outpatient practices need a platform that deploys in days, not months, and costs a fraction of enterprise software. Samara is purpose-built for your practice type.

Our average implementation time is under 1 week. Enterprise tools average 3-6 months.
We want an AI that handles clinical documentation too

If clinical documentation is your primary need, Sully or Abridge may be a fit. But most outpatient practices tell us their biggest pain points are scheduling chaos, no-shows, and reputation management — not inpatient documentation. Samara solves the operational problems that directly impact your revenue.

Practice owners report that scheduling and no-shows cost them $50K-$150K annually in lost revenue.
