Meet Sage: Your New Veterinary Research Companion

Picture this: you’re between appointments, juggling a complex case, a full schedule, and a growing list of unanswered questions. Worse yet, the clinic is swamped, and your go-to colleague isn’t available to help.

You know the information you need exists, but you don’t have the time or mental bandwidth to dig through guidelines, journals, and multiple platforms to find it. 

Sound familiar? 

We know that veterinary medicine doesn’t leave much room for deep research in the middle of a packed day. 

That’s why today we’re introducing Sage, the Research Companion, designed to bring you clear answers, with cited sources, right when you need them.

Companion is now available in beta for Pro plan users to try for a limited time on our web app.

How Sage Can Help

With Sage, you can leave behind:

• Endless searching for the right clinical answer
• Jumping between multiple veterinary resources and logins
• Skimming long, dense material just to get to what matters

Instead, you can simply ask Sage a question, and get a clear, concise answer. Behind the scenes, Sage travels across reputable veterinary sources, returning with clear answers and citations from resources like:

• Peer-reviewed journals (e.g., established veterinary studies and reviews)
• Professional guidelines (e.g., consensus statements, staging systems, best-practice guidance)
• Reference textbooks and encyclopedic clinical resources
• Respected veterinary databases and continuing education materials

Working with Sage is like having a wise, well-traveled mentor who’s already read the entire veterinary library and remembers where everything is.

How Sage works

Getting started with Sage is simple. If you haven’t already, opt in to the Companion Beta from the Companion sidebar.

From there, just tag Sage with a research question, like:

• @sage what does remission look like in a diabetic cat?
• @sage how long does parvo stay in the environment?
• @sage walk me through the four grades of luxating patella in dogs

Sage will return a clear, concise answer with source citations you can click into, and you can continue the conversation by asking follow-up questions or digging deeper as needed. Learn more.

Why We Built Sage

We built Sage to make clinical research feel manageable, especially when time and cognitive load are already stretched thin.

There’s a reason Sage is a tortoise. Research doesn’t have to be rushed to be fast. Sage’s deliberate, thorough approach helps ensure you get reliable, well-sourced answers, without the frantic searching.

Sage is designed to help veterinarians:

• Feel less overwhelmed by information overload
• Get reliable support when cases become complex
• Quickly access veterinary sources in one place

Because when mental burden is reduced, the quality of care improves.
