QUICK CAPTURE

Turn messy notes into next steps, if you want to.

Quick capture is an optional helper for the moment right after a clinic call or portal message, when the details are fresh and scattered. You paste your notes, and Alongside suggests appointments, tasks and costs that you review one at a time. It is off until you turn it on, and the rest of Alongside works fully by hand without it.

Free to use. No account needed to explore the sample.

HOW IT WORKS

How Quick capture works

  1. Read the plain-language notice on the page, tick the box to say you understand, and press “Turn on AI helpers”. It stays off until you do.
  2. Paste notes from a clinic call or portal message into the notes box.
  3. Alongside reads them and lists suggested appointments, tasks and costs.
  4. Check each suggestion, then press Add or Skip, or use “Add all” for a group you are happy with.
  5. Nothing is saved until you press Add, and you can turn the helper off again at any time.

GOOD QUESTIONS

Questions about Quick capture

Where do my notes go when I use Quick capture?

Your text is sent through our own AI gateway to OpenAI to organize it. OpenAI does not train on it and may keep it up to 30 days for abuse monitoring. Our gateway does not store your text, and we never use it for anything else.

Can the suggestions be wrong?

Yes, which is why each one is checked by you before it is saved. The page says so directly, and it is not medical advice.

Do I need Quick capture to use Alongside?

No. Every part of Alongside works by hand. If AI helpers are not available in your space yet, the page says they are coming soon.
