On 13 October 2026, Prompt announced the Sidekick Smart Draft beta, which drafts the clinical assessment section without a visit recording. The company says it draws on patient-reported information, objective measures and the treatment flowsheet already entered in the note. Sidekick previously drafted this section from recordings or dictation.
Clinicians can insert selected lines or the whole draft, request another version, or enable automatic suggestions. Automatic suggestions do not mean automatic insertion or approval: Prompt describes insertion as a separate action and leaves review and finalisation to the clinician.
What this means for a rehabilitation practice
For a practice already using Prompt, the change concerns the draft’s input: recording a conversation is unnecessary, but visit information must already be entered. Sidekick is an add-on to the core platform. We have not tested access in a customer account; beta eligibility, pricing and regional availability remain unverified.
Our practical takeaway: before changing the workflow, confirm access for your account and note types, any change in charges, and who reviews the text before the record is finalised. Removing audio does not remove patient data from the process; its use still needs to follow the practice’s agreed data-protection arrangements.
The announcement does not establish this beta’s accuracy, time savings or clinical benefit. A qualified clinician must review the draft, which is not itself a basis for a treatment decision.
