The changelog

What's new in Rebrief — a running record of the product · MMXXVI

Improved

Reliability and maintenance improvements

A round of routine maintenance across Rebrief.

  • Steadier schedule imports. Scheduling imports hold up better on slower computers, and pick themselves back up when another window gets in the way.
  • A more predictable assistant. The assistant steps aside the moment you touch the keyboard, and picks its work back up without being asked twice.
  • More practice software recognized. Rebrief spots more of the practice software clinics actually run, so it is ready the moment yours is open.

Everything above arrives on its own. Nothing changes about the way you work — open an appointment as usual and the improvements are already there.

Improved

Reliability and maintenance improvements

A round of routine maintenance across Rebrief.

  • Updates that finish the job. Updates install and recover on their own, so a half-finished update no longer needs anyone to reinstall anything.
  • A more predictable assistant. The assistant steps aside the moment you touch the keyboard, and picks its work back up without being asked twice.
  • Lighter on clinic computers. Rebrief asks much less of your computer while it sits open, so machines stay responsive through the day.
  • Progress you can follow. Progress appears as the work happens instead of arriving all at once at the end.
  • More practice software recognized. Rebrief spots more of the practice software clinics actually run, so it is ready the moment yours is open.
  • Clearer messages. When something cannot be done, Rebrief now says why in plain language instead of showing a technical error.

  • Dependable dictation. Dictation and voice charting start listening as soon as an appointment opens, every time.

New

A redesigned perio chart, built for the way hygienists actually probe

Periodontal charting has been redesigned from the ground up.

  • A clearer chart. Pocket depths, recession, bleeding, and mobility now read at a glance, with a visual layout modeled on how clinicians scan a perio chart — not how a database stores one.
  • Custom probing orders. Every hygienist probes differently. You can now define the exact sequence you work in — quadrant by quadrant, buccal-first, lingual sweeps — and voice charting follows along.
  • A smarter cursor. The chart always shows exactly which site is next, so you can glance up mid-exam and never lose your place.

Existing perio data carries over automatically. Custom probing orders are available today in charting settings.

New

End-of-visit note refinement and full revision history

Two upgrades to clinical documentation shipped together.

  • End-of-visit refinement. When you end a visit, Rebrief re-processes the full appointment audio and gives the clinical note one final pass — filling gaps and adding missed detail. The pass is strictly additive: nothing you wrote or approved is ever rewritten or removed. Audio is permanently deleted once the note is finalized.
  • Note revision history. Every clinical note now keeps a complete, replayable history of how it was written — what came from dictation, what the AI drafted, and what a team member typed — with clear attribution on every change. Audit questions that used to take an afternoon now take a click.

Both are on by default for all practices. Nothing changes in your workflow — end the visit as usual and the refined note is waiting.

Improved

Voice charting is now instant

Voice charting got a major speed pass.

  • Instant measurements. Numbers and charting commands are now processed locally in your browser, so pocket depths appear on the chart the moment you say them — even on slow clinic networks.
  • Audible confirmation. A subtle sound cue confirms each entry as it lands, so you can chart heads-down without watching the screen. Cues can be toggled per user in preferences.
  • Faster turn-taking. The system detects the end of each utterance sooner, cutting the pause between speaking and seeing the result.

No setup required — every practice gets the faster pipeline automatically.
