Healthcare & clinical operations
In developmentDocAI, a scheduling and document-intelligence product for clinical operations, is in human testing: one practitioner working the real workflows on a staging demo. No patient data in the system, no paying customer, no signed contract. Alongside it, a collaborator's pre-authorization case management is built under the same rules. Same org, same gates, the strictest data rules on this site.
The six seats in this industry
Each executive function, as it runs here.
What the brain runs here
- A collaborator's pre-authorization case management, built under healthcare data rules
- One agent builds the product end to end: the backend, the data model, the scheduling logic
- A practitioner tests the real workflows on a staging demo, not production
- Not live: no customers, no real records, no contracts
Before anything goes out
- The full backend test suite runs before anything ships
- Every change to what the practitioner sees goes through an independent review by a second AI that did not build it
- Any change to a safety rule, the rules the product will never let a person override, needs the practitioner co-founder's sign-off, not the agent's
- The agent never touches real records and never ships a safety change alone
What stays with the owner
The practitioner co-founder and I decide on pilot signups, contracts and anything touching the safety rules. Those are never the agent's to call alone.
A week on the heartbeat
- Not run for real yet. In human testing: the agent picks up the next task, runs the test suite, sends interface changes to the outside reviewer, and holds safety changes for sign-off
One thing that happened
September 13, 2026
A live walkthrough flagged what looked like a data bug: the same person showing up twice in the roles list. It was not a data bug. The display was not grouping one person's two roles together. The agent fixed the display, added a test so it cannot silently come back, and reran the whole suite clean before shipping, 14 of 14 passing.
