About August AI
August AI is a healthcare artificial intelligence company that has developed an AI-powered digital health companion. This platform is designed to provide accessible medical care and health guidance, acting as a ‘health companion’ rather than a replacement for clinical visits. It assists users in understanding symptoms, interpreting medical reports, and managing ongoing treatment. The company’s AI system was developed in collaboration with clinicians to ensure safeguards are in place, including flagging risks and escalating to appropriate care settings, such as in-person or emergency situations. August AI’s models are trained on an extensive dataset of 300 million real patient interactions and have scored 100% on the U.S. Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE).
For physicians, August AI aims to enhance medical consultations by providing additional support and guidance to patients. The platform can ingest prescriptions and lab reports, explaining medical terms in plain language and helping patients understand their results. It also remembers a patient’s conditions and history over time, ensuring new information is considered in context. August AI offers a direct-to-consumer telehealth service called August Care, which, for a monthly membership, provides unlimited AI health chat, telehealth consultations with licensed physicians, discounted labs, and quick prescriptions. Licensed physicians make all prescriptions, notes, and clinical decisions within August Care, with AI supporting users between sessions.

What Physicians Need to Know
For physicians, August AI acts as a powerful complement to existing healthcare, not a replacement. It can help patients better understand their symptoms, lab results, and prescriptions, leading to more informed discussions during consultations. The AI's ability to process and remember patient history can provide valuable context. Physicians can leverage August AI to empower patients in managing their health between visits, potentially reducing administrative burden and improving patient engagement. The AI's high accuracy on medical licensing exams and its clinician-built guardrails suggest a reliable tool for supporting patient understanding and appropriate care escalation.
August AI can integrate with outside Electronic Health Records (EHRs). The platform is also designed to work seamlessly with various services, including next-day access to labs like Quest Diagnostics and Labcorp, and prescriptions sent to pharmacies. It also leverages WhatsApp infrastructure for accessibility.
