Suki AI Review: Features, Pricing, Pros & Cons (2026)

What you need to know about Suki AI

• Suki AI is software that listens during patient visits and writes draft notes for the doctor to review and sign.
• Suki does not list prices on its website. To get a price, you have to talk to their sales team.
• Suki connects with four EHRs: Epic, Oracle Health, athenahealth, and MEDITECH. Practices using other EHRs do not get the same level of integration.

At a glance

What is Suki AI, and who is it built for?

Suki AI is software that listens to a patient visit and writes a draft note for the doctor. The doctor can also speak commands to it, like asking it to order a medication or pull up something from the patient's chart.¹ The product is made by Suki, Inc., a company started in 2017 in Redwood City, California.¹

Suki is built for enterprise health systems and large group practices that use one of four EHRs: Epic, Oracle Health, athenahealth, or MEDITECH.³ Sales runs through demos and contracts, not self-serve signup.¹ Suki runs on iPhone, iPad, Android, the web, and desktop.¹

How does Suki AI work?

Suki AI does five things during and after a patient visit.¹

• Listens to the visit and writes a draft note in SOAP, H&P, progress, or custom format.
• Takes voice commands like "Order metformin 500mg," "Show me the patient's last A1c," or "Add hypertension to the problem list."
• Stages prescription orders mentioned in the visit so the doctor can review and approve them.
• Answers questions about the patient's chart in plain language, like "When was the last colonoscopy?"
• Hands the draft note to the doctor to accept, edit, or reject before it goes into the chart.

What can Suki AI do?

Per Suki's website, the full feature list is:¹

• Draft note generation in SOAP, H&P, progress, and custom formats
• Voice commands for ordering, charting, navigation, and chart questions
• Order staging from the visit conversation
• Chart Q&A in plain language
• Patient summaries built on Google's Vertex AI
• Suggested ICD-10, HCC, and CPT codes
• Custom note templates per doctor or specialty
• Apps for iPhone, iPad, Android, plus web and desktop
• Support for more than 100 specialties
• Support for more than 80 languages

How does Suki AI handle EHRs?

Suki connects with four EHRs:³

• Epic
• Oracle Health (Cerner)
• athenahealth
• MEDITECH

Suki says its MEDITECH Expanse integration is the first ambient AI tool to use MEDITECH's documentation APIs.² Inside athenahealth, Suki shows up as one of the choices in athenahealth's Ambient Notes program, which is generally available.² Suki says setup runs in weeks and that support is round-the-clock.³

Suki does not have native integration with eClinicalWorks, AdvancedMD, Veradigm, DrChrono, or other smaller cloud EHRs. Practices on those systems would use copy-paste or no integration at all.

How much does Suki AI cost?

Suki does not list prices on its website.¹ To get a price, you have to talk to their sales team. The price depends on which EHR you use, how large your practice is, and what kind of support you want.¹

What's new in Suki AI from 2024 to 2026?

Suki has added four notable things in this window.¹²

• Patient Summaries and Chart Q&A. A feature built with Google Cloud's Vertex AI that gives doctors a quick summary of the patient and lets them ask questions in plain language.
• Order Staging from the visit. Suki picks up the medications mentioned in the visit, codes them, and lines them up for the doctor to approve.
• MEDITECH Expanse integration. Suki says this is the first ambient AI tool to integrate using MEDITECH's documentation APIs.
• athenahealth Ambient Notes. Suki is now generally available inside athenahealth as one of the picks in athenahealth's Ambient Notes program.

Where does Suki AI fall short?

Suki AI has known gaps that matter for some practices.

• No published pricing. Suki does not list rates on its website.¹ Every quote requires a sales call. Practices that want to compare costs upfront cannot do that for Suki.
• Limited EHR coverage. Suki integrates deeply with four EHRs.³ Practices on eClinicalWorks, AdvancedMD, Veradigm, or smaller cloud EHRs do not get the same integration.
• Enterprise sales process. Suki sells through demos and contracts, not online signup.¹ Solo and small practices cannot trial without going through sales.
• Voice command learning curve. Suki's voice command vocabulary works after clinicians learn it. Adoption depends on whether clinicians use the voice layer or rely only on ambient note generation.

What does peer-reviewed research show about AI scribes like Suki?

Suki AI has one AAFP-published study. It reports a significant reduction in documentation burden for primary care doctors in the studied group.⁴ The broader research is on AI medical scribes as a category, which is where Suki sits.

A 2026 narrative review of ambient AI scribes covered the workflow patterns, technology, and impact across clinical settings.⁵ A 2017 AMA-published study tracked documentation time per encounter and found human scribe use cut physician documentation time roughly in half, from 6.1 minutes to 3.0 minutes per patient.⁶ A 2024 Health Affairs study tied EHR documentation time directly to other clinical work. Each extra hour on the EHR was associated with a 7.1% drop in same-day review of outside records.⁷

A 2026 JAMA Psychiatry study found documentation patterns can shift when an AI scribe is in the loop. AI scribe use in primary-care psychiatric documentation was associated with greater recorded neuropsychiatric symptoms compared with human scribes or no scribe, but a lower likelihood of a depression intervention being recorded.⁸

Ambient AI scribes can reduce documentation burden, and the patterns of what gets documented can shift when AI is in the loop. A 2026 Annals of Internal Medicine paper on rapid evaluation of AI documentation tools says the technology "requires active physician oversight, not passive acceptance."⁹ Clinician review of every draft catches the shift before it affects care.

Other specs: 99.4% transcription accuracy. 90+ languages with automatic detection. Records up to 2 hours per session, in person or by telehealth, on any device. HIPAA compliant, SOC 2 certified, onshore data storage. Audio is encrypted, kept under HIPAA rules, and never used to train AI.

Frequently asked questions

Is Suki AI HIPAA compliant?

Yes. Suki is HIPAA compliant and SOC 2 Type II certified, and provides a Business Associate Agreement.¹ For specifics on encryption and infrastructure, see Suki's Trust Center.¹

How much does Suki AI cost per month?

Suki does not publish a monthly price. To get a quote you have to talk to their sales team. The price depends on the EHR, the size of the practice, and the support tier.¹

Which EHRs does Suki AI integrate with?

Epic, Oracle Health, athenahealth, and MEDITECH.³ Suki says its MEDITECH Expanse integration is the first ambient AI tool using MEDITECH's documentation APIs, and inside athenahealth it is available through Ambient Notes.² Practices on other EHRs do not get the same integration.

Does Suki AI store audio?

Suki cites HIPAA and SOC 2 Type II controls in its trust materials.¹ The exact retention details are in Suki's Trust Center. Check your Business Associate Agreement for specifics before signing.

What is the difference between Suki AI and a regular ambient scribe?

Most ambient scribes just listen and write a note. Suki listens, takes voice commands, answers questions about the chart, and stages orders.¹ The voice-command piece is what sets Suki apart from a typical ambient scribe.

What should I look for in a Suki AI alternative?

Look for published pricing, EHR integrations beyond the four enterprise systems Suki supports, a self-serve trial, and HIPAA compliance with documented audio handling. Verify pricing, free trial terms, and EHR coverage directly with each vendor before signing. For a broader comparison of options, see the best AI medical scribes ranking.
