What Is Ask Scribeberry?
Ask Scribeberry is the bottom chat bar that lives inside every Scribeberry note. Think of it as a conversational chat-GPT style command line: type or speak plain‑English requests and the AI instantly edits, transforms, or augments your documentation—while also serving as a real‑time clinical decision‑support tool.
Where to Find It
- Look for the persistent text field at the bottom of the right‑hand work panel.
- Available in the web app and the Chrome extension, so you can use it inside your EMR.
