The dental practice management software you talk to.

Girsu is dental practice management software for Canadian clinics, built to be operated by voice. It is designed as the operating system for the dental practice: scheduling, clinical charting, imaging, notes, treatment planning, insurance and billing in one system, with apps that run on the same records. Much of that work can be done by saying or typing a sentence; the rest is ordinary clicking, on the same records.

It means the assistant can do the work, not only answer questions about it. The application's own actions are its tools, so it can read the schedule, the chart and the ledger and act in them. It opens from any screen, by the microphone or as a side panel, and already knows which patient is open. What it does is shown step by step, and anything that books, bills, texts or deletes waits for a yes.

Much of it, yes. Voice in Girsu carries out actions rather than only transcribing text. Saying "26 MOD caries" charts the finding on the right tooth for the patient already on screen and reads it back; "scratch that" takes it back. Saying "open John Smith" opens the chart. The microphone is on every screen, so a clinician can work with gloved hands. A few tasks, like picking a file, stay on screen.

That depends on where the clinic puts the server. Girsu is a desktop application that talks to one server. On the clinic's own hardware, an internet outage does not stop the schedule, charting, notes, imaging or the ledger: the workstations reach the server over the clinic's network, and only the parts that need the outside world — texting patients, electronic claims, the AI assistant — wait for it to come back. Hosted, the clinic depends on its connection. There is no offline mode on a workstation itself.

Girsu was designed around saying what you want, so a chart entry, a lookup or a booking starts from a sentence rather than from finding the right screen, and every step it takes is shown. It runs on a server in the clinic or hosted, keeps a hash-chained audit trail of every write, adds features as apps on the same records, and imports an Open Dental practice with a reconciliation report. Ask any vendor, us included, to show you these on a working system.

No. A chart entry said aloud is applied at once, read back, and taken back with a word; anything that posts money, books a visit, deletes a record or completes work asks first. Signed clinical records never change: a correction is an addendum under the original, and signing is limited to clinical roles. The AI drafts, retrieves, calculates, and prepares; a clinician decides.

Yes. An Open Dental practice is imported from a copy of its own database by a repeatable import that moves patients, appointments, charts, notes, insurance, the ledger and documents, and writes a reconciliation report naming every row it could not place and why. We run it on a copy first, so the clinic sees its own data in Girsu before committing, and once more the evening before go-live. Other systems are assessed first: we look at what they can export before we quote.

Records live in the clinic's own Postgres database, on a server the clinic chooses: on-site or hosted. Connections are over TLS. Documents and radiographs are encrypted at rest when the server is given a key. Access is by role, and every write lands in a hash-chained audit trail an administrator can verify from Settings, the assistant's marked as spoken or typed. Speech becomes text on the workstation; requests the workstation cannot read itself go as text, with the records needed to answer, to a hosted AI model.

The clinical application is a desktop app. It runs on macOS today; the Windows version is in development. Patients reach online booking, intake forms and consent signing from any phone's browser. There is no staff mobile app or web client.

Pricing is quoted per practice, because it depends on the number of operatories, whether we host the server, and which apps a clinic turns on. The demo is a free 30-minute walkthrough on a sample clinic, with no obligation. For an Open Dental practice, the next step is a rehearsal import on a copy of its data.
