Week 18

May 5, 2026
πŸ’‘ Spotlight

Companion 2.0 is here, and it’s smarter than ever! It now has a memory, pulls patient context from your notes, and can help you work through any files you upload to the chat β€” like PDFs and photos from the exam room. Use it for dosing calculations, patient history summarization, generating case summaries, and whatever else your day throws at you. Learn more.

✨ New Features
  • Template-aware Quill editing: When you ask Quill to make a structural change on a note that came from a template (like adding a section to your SOAPs), Quill now offers to apply the change to the template so every future note from it picks it up too.‍
  • Refreshed Companion suggested prompts: The Companion welcome screen now shows a refreshed set of starter prompts.
πŸ› Bug Fixes
  • Generated attachments now show as links in chat: Fixed a bug where files generated by Companion didn't always show up as a link in the conversation.‍
  • Treat usage chart uses your local time zone: The treat usage chart in Companion settings now groups daily activity by your device's local time zone, so a treat used at 11pm shows under today instead of rolling over into tomorrow.‍
  • Companion message input shrinks back after sending: The chat message input now collapses back to its default height right after sending a multi-line message, instead of staying tall until you start typing again.‍
  • Quill buttons no longer collapse the Companion sidebar: Clicking Edit with Quill, Optimize My Template, or Build With Quill while the Companion sidebar is open now leaves the sidebar at its current width.‍
  • Companion session titles are more reliable: Companion no longer generates odd session titles like "I appreciate you sharing this..." when a chat starts with a short or empty first message.‍
  • Companion patient search is more accurate: Searching Companion for a patient name no longer floods results with false positives. "Eli" no longer matches notes that contain "believe", and "Sweetness" no longer matches notes about a "sweetheart".

About Scribenote's Weekly Changelog

Scribenauts work really hard to bring you delightful, easy to use software that helps you slay your day as a busy veterinary professional. This is a continuous process that involves everything from building industry changing new innovations to fixing minor bugs. We’ve been doing this since the first line of code for Scribenote was written on December 27, 2019. We’ve historically been pretty bad at sharing the details of all this work, but one of our our resolutions for 2026 is to share our progress with the veterinary community every week. We hope that by seeing the craft that goes into making Scribenote you might feel a little closer to the people who are trying to make something special for you.
