Ara.so vs Innovation Pilot Projects: Scaling AI Scribes Systemwide
Innovation teams often spin up limited pilots that never graduate. Here's how production-ready scribes compare.
Pilot purgatory
Innovation labs can validate vendor claims, yet they rarely have resources for enterprise rollout. Clinicians get excited for a few months, then watch the tooling disappear because nobody owns it afterwards.
IT still has to harden security, procure hardware, and negotiate support SLAs.
Productized AI scribes ship with guardrails
Ara provides onboarding kits, CME-friendly training decks, analytics on adoption, and admin controls for privacy. Instead of pausing after the pilot, you can scale immediately.
We also expose APIs so whatever the innovation team built can live on using Ara's backbone.
- Reduces the time between pilot success and enterprise rollout.
- Keeps procurement simple with predictable per-seat or per-minute pricing.
- Gives clinical champions a roadmap, not just a proof of concept.
| Feature | Ara.so | Internal Pilot |
|---|---|---|
| Scalability | Enterprise-Ready | Limited Scope |
| Support | 24/7 Dedicated | Best Effort |
| Analytics | Built-in | Manual/None |
| Speed | Instant Rollout | Slow Expansion |
Suggested journey
Use internal pilots to pick success metrics, then, once Ara meets them, hand ownership to clinical operations. Our team co-drives change management so momentum never dips.
Key takeaways
- Pilots without a product partner fade away.
- Ara.so packages support, compliance, and analytics so scaling is immediate.
- Innovation teams can still co-build on our APIs while operations enjoy a turnkey tool.
