Week 19

May 14, 2026

💡 Spotlight

Companion now meets you inside the note editor - Quill jumps in when you flag a note, mark one as done, or spend extra time editing - turning Companion from a sidebar you have to remember into a hands-on teammate.

✨ New Features

  • Quill help right after flagging a note or thumbs-down: When you flag a note or give it a thumbs-down in the note editor, Quill offers to rewrite sections, adjust formatting, or turn the note into a template - right from a non-blocking tip, with a "Don't show me Companion Tips" link to hide future tips.
  • Companion offers client comms when you mark a note as done: After clicking Mark as Done, Companion offers to draft a discharge summary, referral letter, or client update for that visit - one click away from finished client communication.
  • Quill check-in after 5 minutes of editing: When you've been actively editing a note for 5+ minutes, Quill offers to clean up the note or turn your edits into a reusable note template, so repetitive cleanup becomes a one-click handoff.
  • Disable Companion Tooltips anytime: A new toggle under Account Settings > Preferences lets you mute Companion's tips whenever you want.

🐛 Bug Fixes

  • PDF attachments render correctly across all pages: Fixed an issue where PDF attachments in a patient's notebook would fail to render correctly - all pages now display with properly aligned text.
  • No more crash when asking Companion to consolidate into an empty section: Fixed a crash in the note editor when asking the AI assistant to summarize or move content into an empty section. Proposed edits now display correctly without a page reload, and treats are only charged when a proposed edit actually appears.
  • Companion chat box opens at the right size: Fixed an issue where the Companion sidebar chat input opened over-expanded the first time you opened it.

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.
