TL;DR
- Freed AI is an ambient medical scribe. It listens to visits, produces EHR-ready SOAP notes, ICD-10/CPT codes, and patient instructions. HIPAA compliant with a BAA. Starts at $39/mo.
- ZeroTwo is a multi-model AI workspace ($29.99/mo) with Claude, GPT-5, Gemini, Perplexity, and 60+ models. It is not a scribe and not HIPAA certified.
- The honest answer: use both. Freed for documentation. ZeroTwo for literature review, patient-education drafts, admin writing, and model comparison on de-identified questions.
Why AI in healthcare is moving fast
The documentation burden is the single biggest contributor to clinician burnout, and ambient scribes are the fastest-adopted generative AI category in healthcare. A few numbers that matter:
of U.S. physicians reported at least one burnout symptom in 2024, down from 53% in 2022. AMA
of EHR data entry per hour of direct patient contact is typical for many clinicians. AMA
higher odds of burnout for physicians without sufficient documentation time. AMA

What Freed AI actually does
Freed AI is a purpose-built ambient medical scribe founded by a clinician and an engineer. The product listens to a patient encounter via your laptop or phone microphone, transcribes the conversation with a speech model trained on clinical terminology, and produces a structured SOAP note you can review, edit, and push into a web-based EHR with one click.
- EHR-ready SOAP notes in minutes, with customizable templates for specialists.
- ICD-10 & CPT code suggestions, patient instructions, and referral letters auto-generated from the visit.
- HIPAA, SOC 2 Type II, HITECH. BAA available. Encryption in transit and at rest. Freed states it does not retain patient audio after note generation.
- Self-learning style adaptation — the model adjusts to each clinician's documentation preferences over time.
- Pricing: $39/mo per clinician for individuals, with group and student pricing available.
"Ambient AI scribes are currently the fastest-adopted and most widely implemented generative AI solution in health care. Early studies show meaningful documentation-time reductions and modest well-being gains — but durable outcomes still depend on workflow integration, specialty fit, and how carefully clinicians review generated notes."
— Paraphrased from the JAMA Network Open review of early ambient-scribe evidence.
Keep your scribe. Add the rest of the toolbox.
Clinicians already pay for Freed, Abridge, or DAX for notes. ZeroTwo adds Claude, GPT-5, and Gemini for everything outside the exam room — $29.99/mo.
Freed vs. ZeroTwo — honest positioning
These are complementary products for different jobs. Use the right tool for each.
| Job to be done | Freed AI | ZeroTwo |
|---|---|---|
| Clinical documentation (SOAP notes during a visit) | Purpose-built ambient scribe. HIPAA + BAA + SOC 2. ICD-10/CPT codes. This is Freed's job. | Not a scribe. Do not use for PHI. |
| Literature review & research synthesis | Not designed for research workflows. | Run the same clinical question across Claude Opus, GPT-5, and Perplexity to compare reasoning and sources. |
| Patient-education drafts (de-identified) | Generates patient instructions tied to a visit. | Draft handouts at 6th-grade reading level, translate into Spanish, reformat for print or portal. |
| Administrative writing (de-identified) | Referral letters from visit context. | Conference abstracts, CME summaries, grant drafts, internal memos, policy updates. |
| Model choice | Single proprietary model optimized for clinical speech. | 60+ models — Claude, GPT-5, Gemini 3 Pro, Grok, Llama, DeepSeek — pick the best for the task. |
| Pricing | $39/mo per clinician (individual). | $29.99/mo for 60+ models, all tools, all providers. |

How clinicians use ZeroTwo alongside their scribe
Everything below assumes no PHI. Scrub identifiers before using any general-purpose AI tool.
Literature Synthesis
Ask Perplexity and Claude the same clinical question and compare how each model weights recent evidence. Useful for journal club prep and staying current between CME cycles.
Patient-Facing Content
Draft plain-language handouts, portal messages, and discharge instructions — then have a second model review for clarity and reading level. Never include PHI.
Admin & Ops
Draft referral cover letters, prior-auth narratives (de-identified), meeting agendas, CV updates, and internal process docs without opening five different chat tabs.
Deep Research Reports
Launch multi-source research tasks on drug interactions, guideline updates, billing codes, or payer policy — with citations you can click through to the original source.
A word on safety
ZeroTwo is software, not a clinician. Nothing generated by Claude, GPT-5, Gemini, or any other model in ZeroTwo is medical advice. Do not rely on AI output for diagnosis, treatment decisions, dosing, or triage. Always apply clinical judgment and verify against primary sources and current guidelines.
If your workflow involves identifiable patient information, use a HIPAA-compliant product with a signed BAA. Freed AI, Abridge, DAX Copilot, and Suki are examples designed for that use case. ZeroTwo is not.
