Jane App AI: What AI Scribe Does, and What Jane Leaves to You
When a clinic owner searches “Jane App AI,” they almost always mean one thing: AI Scribe, the charting tool Jane launched broadly in November 2025. That’s Jane’s only AI feature. Not one of several — the only one.
Which is worth knowing before you plan around it, because the part of a clinic day that AI Scribe touches is the part you’re already in the room for. The part it doesn’t touch is everything that piles up while you’re with a patient.
What Jane’s AI Scribe actually does
AI Scribe records the appointment or takes your dictation, then drafts a chart note inside Jane. You review it, edit it, sign it. It works within your existing chart templates rather than dumping you into a separate app, and Jane offers a library of customizable templates and prompts.
The commercial shape, from Jane’s own guide:
- Five notes per month free, on every Jane account
- AI Scribe Unlimited at $15/month per practitioner, with regional pricing variation
- Available in the US, Canada, UK, and additional regions
- HIPAA, PIPEDA, and GDPR compliant, and Jane states clinical data is not used to train AI models
The practitioner reviews and signs every note before it saves to the patient record. That’s the design, and it’s the right one — but it does mean AI Scribe compresses your charting time rather than removing charting from your day.
For a physiotherapist doing thirty-minute appointments, that is a genuine win. Charting is the thing that follows you home. If AI Scribe takes an evening of notes down to twenty minutes of review, it has paid for itself several times over at $15.
The half of the clinic day Jane’s AI doesn’t go near
Here’s the gap. Jane’s November 2025 release shipped AI Scribe alongside Jane Websites, Google Calendar Sync, Jane Payroll, a patient mobile app, and secure messaging. Real features, all of them — and none of them AI. Jane’s AI investment went entirely into documentation.
So nothing in Jane is watching for:
- The new-patient enquiry that landed at 10:40 while you were treating someone
- The no-show from Tuesday who hasn’t rebooked
- The intake form a patient hasn’t returned before Thursday’s first visit
- The GP or trainer who referred someone and never got a thank-you
- The waitlist patient who should have been called the second a Friday slot opened
That’s front-desk work. In a solo or two-practitioner clinic there is no front desk, so it’s your work, done between patients or at 9pm. Jane’s AI has no opinion about any of it.
The API question, answered plainly
This is where most “automate your Jane clinic” advice falls apart, so take it directly: Jane has no public API, and you cannot get a key.
Jane’s integrations documentation says it outright — Jane doesn’t have an open API, doesn’t provide API keys, and has no plans to make them available. There’s no developer portal to sign up for and no setting inside your clinic’s account that produces a credential.
Jane does run a Developer Platform, and it’s real — OAuth 2.0 PKCE, clinic-authorized access, the works. But it is an approval-based partner program. A vendor applies, makes a business case, and passes Jane’s review. Clinics explicitly cannot build and publish their own integrations against it; Jane’s stated reason is that it can’t vouch for the privacy, security, or reliability of unofficial tools. For a platform holding patient records, that is a defensible call — but it’s a closed door for you either way.
Two consequences follow, and both are worth saying before somebody sells you around them:
Neither ChatGPT nor Claude has a Jane connector, official or community-built. With no public API, there’s nothing for one to talk to. We covered the mechanics of that in more depth in Claude + Jane App.
Any tool advertising a Jane integration is either an approved partner or overstating itself. Jane’s Integrations Hub lists the vetted ones. If a product claims it will read your Jane schedule or create Jane appointments and isn’t on that list, ask which door it came through. This is the same trap therapists hit with SimplePractice, whose only API belongs to an enterprise product they can’t access — and we’d rather tell you than have you go hunting for a key that isn’t there.
The two seams Jane does leave open
A closed API isn’t the end of it, because Jane deliberately exposes two things to the outside world: your calendar and your email. Both are places an outside assistant can genuinely work.
Jane’s calendar setup is two separate one-way syncs, and the direction matters enormously:
Google Calendar into Jane. Events on your Google Calendar appear on your Jane schedule as Busy - Google Calendar Event, blocking that time from online booking. Jane pulls 30 days back and 12 months forward, and shows only the busy block — no titles, no descriptions, no guest lists. Your dentist appointment stays your business.
Jane into your external calendar. This runs through a Private Calendar URL in your staff profile — an iCal/ICS feed you subscribe to from Google, Outlook, or Apple Calendar. It is strictly view-only. Jane’s guide is blunt: these calendars “cannot be edited to manage your availability.” Subscribed ICS feeds also refresh slowly; Google typically polls roughly once a day.
That asymmetry sets a hard boundary, so let’s be exact about it. Nothing outside Jane can reschedule a Jane appointment. Not Carly, not any AI tool. Moving a patient’s Thursday 2pm happens in Jane, by a human, full stop. Anyone telling you otherwise hasn’t read the sync docs.
What can work is the inbound direction. An event created on your Google Calendar blocks that time in Jane’s online booking within the sync window. So an assistant that manages your Google Calendar is, in practice, protecting your Jane availability — holding an hour for admin, blocking your Wednesday teaching slot, keeping a buffer after a long-treatment appointment — without ever reaching into Jane.
Keeping patient names off a calendar someone else can see
The ICS feed carries your appointments into whatever calendar you subscribed with, and how the client’s name appears is controlled by a setting in your Jane staff profile. That setting is all-or-nothing: either your calendar shows names or it doesn’t.
That’s an awkward trade in a multi-practitioner clinic. You want the real names in your own view — you need to know who’s at 2pm — but the moment that Google Calendar is shared with an associate, a partner, a booking link, or a phone that lights up face-up on a treatment table, the names travel with it.
Carly’s Calendar Sync resolves that without forcing the choice. It mirrors events from one calendar to another and rewrites every title to “Busy” in transit. The destination shows solid blocks of occupied time and nothing about who. Your source calendar is never modified, so your own view keeps the real names off the Jane feed. It’s free and needs no signup, which makes it a sensible thing to set up regardless of what else you decide.
The result is two layers: the private calendar carrying your real Jane schedule, and a shareable mirror that’s just availability. The same pattern we’ve written up for clinics deciding which calendar is the source of truth.
The intake and follow-up work, which never lived in Jane anyway
The most useful thing about the front-desk pile is that most of it was never Jane’s to begin with. New patient enquiries arrive by email. Referral sources reply by email. No-show follow-ups go out by email. None of that requires an API, which is exactly why it works.
Carly is an AI assistant you email or text, and around a Jane clinic she works the calendar and inbox rather than the platform:
- Triage the enquiries that arrive while you’re treating, and draft the reply asking the questions you always end up asking — what’s going on, have they been seen before, are they claiming through insurance
- Chase the patient who booked a first visit and never returned their intake form
- Follow up the no-show with a rebooking nudge a day or two later, rather than never
- Hold and protect time on your Google Calendar, which flows through to Jane’s booking availability
- Read your day back to you between patients so you know what’s coming without opening anything
Carly stays on the front-desk side of the line by design. No chart notes, no clinical content, no patient records. Jane’s closed API means there’s no route to that data in the first place, but it also isn’t what she’s built for — clinical documentation is AI Scribe’s job, inside Jane, signed by you.
One limit to be straight about, because it shapes what you can expect from any AI tool here:
The unattended-work gap closed in 2026: ChatGPT Scheduled Tasks and Claude Cowork both run on their own. The remaining gap is what starts them. These run on a timer, not in response to an event in your apps, so "when this happens, do that" is still outside what they do.
Carly is the exception in this stack: her workflows fire on triggers, so an email arriving or a calendar event changing can start something without you asking. That’s the practical difference between an assistant that answers when spoken to and one that handles the pile while you’re in with a patient.
Pricing is free, unlimited Zapier-style workflows; AI agents from $35/month. Carly is BYO-key for apps with open APIs — you paste your own credential at carlyassistant.com/integrations — but Jane isn’t one of those, so there’s nothing to paste. The calendar and inbox connections are all it needs.
If you’re comparing what’s available across the discipline rather than around Jane specifically, we maintain roundups for therapists, chiropractors, and massage therapists.
FAQ
Does Jane App have AI?
Yes, one feature: AI Scribe, for clinical charting. It records an appointment or takes dictation and drafts a chart note inside Jane, which you review, edit, and sign. Five notes a month are free and AI Scribe Unlimited is $15/month per practitioner. Jane has no AI features for scheduling, billing, intake, or email — its November 2025 release shipped AI Scribe alongside Jane Websites, Google Calendar Sync, Jane Payroll, a patient app, and secure messaging, and none of those are AI.
How much does Jane’s AI Scribe cost?
Every Jane account includes five AI Scribe notes per month at no cost. Beyond that, AI Scribe Unlimited is $15/month per practitioner, with some regional pricing variation. It’s available in the US, Canada, UK, and additional regions.
Does Jane App have a public API?
No. Jane states plainly that it has no open API, does not provide API keys, and has no plans to. The Jane Developer Platform is an approval-based partner program — a vendor applies, makes a business case, and passes Jane’s review before getting OAuth access. Clinics cannot build or publish their own integrations against it, so there’s no credential for you to generate and nothing for an outside tool to connect to directly.
Can ChatGPT or Claude connect to Jane App?
No. Neither has a Jane connector, official or community-built, and with no public API there’s nothing for one to talk to. Either can help out of band — drafting an email you send yourself — but keep patient details out of it. Claude + Jane App goes through the mechanics.
Can an AI assistant reschedule my Jane appointments?
No, and this is the limit worth knowing before you buy anything. Jane’s sync into your external calendar is a view-only iCal feed that, in Jane’s words, cannot be edited to manage your availability. Rescheduling happens inside Jane. What does work is the other direction: an event created on your Google Calendar shows in Jane as a busy block and stops patients booking that time online, so an assistant managing your Google Calendar is effectively protecting your Jane availability.
How do I stop patient names appearing on a calendar I share?
Jane’s staff profile controls whether client names appear on your synced calendar, but it’s all-or-nothing — either you see names or you don’t. Carly’s free Calendar Sync mirrors your calendar to a second one and rewrites every title to “Busy”, so a shared calendar shows availability and nothing else while your own view keeps the real names. The source calendar is never modified.
Does Carly access chart notes or patient records?
No. Carly handles scheduling, new-patient enquiries, intake follow-up, and referral email — the front-desk side. Chart notes, clinical content, and patient records are outside what she touches. Jane’s closed API means there’s no route to that data regardless, and clinical documentation is what AI Scribe is for.
What does Carly cost for a clinic?
Free, unlimited Zapier-style workflows; AI agents from $35/month. Connecting your Google Calendar and inbox costs nothing, and Calendar Sync is free without a signup. Since Jane has no API, there’s no key to paste and nothing to configure on the Jane side beyond its own calendar sync.

See what people say
"Before Carly, I relied on a Calendly link, but the whole process felt impersonal and not very professional. Carly changed that by handling all the back-and-forth, so I'm no longer stuck in endless email threads trying to line up schedules.
Now Carly reaches out to candidates, shares my real-time availability, lets them pick a slot, then sends a Zoom link and drops it straight into my calendar. She sends reminders to both of us before each call, which has significantly reduced no-shows and last-minute confusion.
On top of scheduling, Carly acts like a full executive assistant, sending me my schedule the night before so I can prepare for each call. It reminds me of the old x.ai assistant, but Carly is noticeably smarter, faster, and better suited to my healthcare recruitment business."
