Our AI approach

Built for healthcare communication, not bolted on

Spruce is building AI to help care teams communicate faster and more effectively without sacrificing compliance, accuracy, or the human touch healthcare requires.

Speed without chaos

Clinicians and staff can act on communications in seconds. AI should reduce cognitive load, not add to it.

Compliant by design

Every AI feature ships with the same best-in-class approach to HIPAA compliance, data security, and accuracy.

Empowering clinical teams

AI supports the care team, it doesn't replace clinical judgment. We facilitate human decisions, never automate them.

Common Questions

What can Spruce summarize?

Spruce offers AI-generated summaries for voicemails, recorded calls (up to 4 hours), and audio messages (up to 60 minutes on web, 5 minutes on mobile). Each generates a ~500-character recap (about 75–100 words) plus a full transcript you can view, copy, rate, or delete.

Which plan includes AI Summarization?

The Communicator plan includes AI Transcription & Summarization for voicemail, call recordings, and audio messages. The Basic plan includes AI Voicemail Transcription only. Features are available across the desktop app, mobile app, and web browser.

Is Spruce's AI Summarization HIPAA-compliant?

Yes. Every AI feature ships with the same best-in-class approach to HIPAA compliance, information security, and data privacy that Spruce is known for. A BAA is included, and all transcripts and summaries are only visible to your team. Patients never see them.

Can I control how AI summaries are written?

Yes. Custom Instructions let you tailor summaries for call recordings and voicemails to your workflow: triaging urgent messages, formatting telehealth calls into SOAP or DAP notes, extracting action items, or using specialty-specific language. Start from four pre-built templates or build your own.

What languages are supported?

AI transcripts and summaries can support 40+ languages, so you can triage and document patient messages from non-English speakers. Transcripts display in the original language used in the recording. Summaries appear in English by default, but you can customize instructions to create summaries in other languages.

Will patients see AI transcripts or summaries?

No, patients will not see AI transcripts or summaries.

Will AI transcripts automatically sync to my integrated EHR? (Athena, Elation)
