What Kiroku does

Kiroku is a London-based SaaS company that builds an AI-powered clinical documentation platform exclusively for dental professionals. Founded in 2017 by dentist Dr. Hannah Burrow and machine learning engineer Jay Shah during the Entrepreneur First program, the company targets the workflow pain point of dental note-taking, which consumes an estimated 25% of a clinician's workday and causes 81% of dentists to work through lunch or after hours. The browser-based product combines a library of 80+ customizable dental-specific templates aligned with GDC and CGDent guidelines, AI Voice Notes (Co-Pilot template-guided and Freestyle free-form modes) that transcribe spoken appointments and discard the audio, AI Audits that score notes against clinical record-keeping criteria in real time, a Notes AI Editor for in-place refinement, and Kiroku Docs for generating patient letters, referrals, and e-consent forms. The platform is distributed via direct website self-serve signup with a 14-day free trial, an optional Chrome extension for cloud-based practice management systems (Dentally, Dental4Web, Aerona, etc.), and direct sales for 4+ clinician Practice Plans, with geographic coverage in the UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand.

Direct peers

• Heidi Health: Australia-based AI clinical scribe for healthcare professionals with a similar PLG model, similar size stage, and overlapping UK/Australia go-to-market. Most comparable peer given shared geography, customer type, and ambient documentation product.
• Suki AI: AI clinical documentation assistant for clinicians with voice-driven note generation and EHR integration. Direct overlap with Kiroku's core value proposition of reducing documentation burden via AI.
• Nabla: AI-powered ambient clinical documentation tool (Nabla Copilot) for clinicians. Targets the same documentation-time pain point as Kiroku and competes for the same SMB clinician buyer.
• Freed: AI clinical scribe that listens to patient visits and produces SOAP-style notes. Closely aligned product behavior to Kiroku's Co-Pilot voice notes, though broader across specialties.

Broad incumbents

• Abridge: US AI medical scribe that converts patient-provider conversations into clinical notes. Competes on the same ambient AI documentation thesis but at much larger scale and across multiple specialties, not just dental.
• Augmedix: Publicly traded ambient AI medical documentation company serving health systems. A broader-scale competitor on the ambient documentation thesis that Kiroku is built on.
• Microsoft DAX Copilot (Nuance): Ambient AI clinical documentation product from Microsoft/Nuance with deep EHR integration and enterprise sales motion. Represents the scaled incumbent risk to niche players like Kiroku.

Emerging players

• DeepScribe: AI medical scribe that automates clinical documentation across specialties. Partial overlap with Kiroku's ambient note-taking value proposition, primarily US-focused.
• Tandem: AI clinical documentation assistant targeted at individual clinicians and small practices with a consumer-friendly onboarding model similar to Kiroku's PLG approach.
• Sunoh.ai: AI medical scribe with EHR-integrated ambient note generation, targeting small and mid-sized practices. Competes for the same SMB clinician documentation budget as Kiroku.
