Otto Launches AI Recap, the First Scribe Tool that is Built for the Whole Picture of Veterinary Care
AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Otto, the veterinary technology company trusted by more than 5,000 clinics, today announced the launch of a standalone version of its scribe tool, Otto AI Recap. Formerly only available with Otto Flow, this new standalone version gives every veterinary team the ability to get started with a powerful scribe tool without breaking the bank. Clinics can start with a 21-day free trial of all features - the longest in the industry - and then pay the low price of $49/month for two users with no long-term commitment. Entire clinics can sign up for AI Recap Team to have unlimited users for $169/month. All features are available, regardless of the package you sign up for, offering an accessible, affordable way to reduce mental load, improve documentation, and give teams time back in their day. 'We've had a couple of doctors use it in the rooms, and it's working great. They love it. One of them said they're never going back.' - Dr. Amanda Graham, Abell Animal Hospital Share Built and trained specifically for veterinary care — not retrofitted from another industry — Otto AI Recap listens during appointments and quickly creates accurate, structured notes using either web-enabled devices or the Otto mobile app, available for both Apple and Android devices. Doctors finish records faster, communicate more clearly, and stay focused on the pet, not the keyboard. 'With so many new players rushing into the veterinary space, it's easy to get distracted by flash over substance,' said Zeynep Young, CEO of Otto. 'Otto's AI Scribe is built differently—grounded in years of experience with vet teams, priced with clinics in mind, and it's trusted by thousands of practices. It's everything you need, without the sticker shock.' For Dr. Amanda Graham at Abell Animal Hospital, the impact of Otto Recap was immediate: 'We've had a couple of doctors use it in the rooms, and it's working great. They love it. One of them said they're never going back.' Both versions of Otto Recap use veterinary-specific language models to capture the clinical essentials while filtering out the small talk. Doctors can upload their own templates or use pre-built options, and Otto formats the note into the template of the doctor's choosing. Notes are saved and accessible across the team for follow-up care, helping the whole clinic stay in sync. Dr. Angel Martin of GVA Russell Ridge noted: 'It's pretty impressive, the amount of information that it's picking up... and how it's sorting it, really including the important stuff and junking the stuff that doesn't really matter. It's super impressive in that regard.' Built for Today. Ready for What's Next. While Otto AI Recap works beautifully as a standalone tool, it's also part of a broader vision: the foundation for smarter, more connected care. When clinics are ready to expand, Otto AI Recap integrates directly into Otto Flow, the company's all-in-one veterinary communication platform for online booking, forms, messages, reminders, payments, and internal collaboration. There's no steep learning curve. No separate systems. No rework. Just the same trusted notes, connected to the tools that make them even more actionable. And when clinics upgrade to Flow, Otto AI Recap is included. Otto AI Recap is available now.

Wasilla police eject 'rowdy' teens from Minecraft movie showing
Apr. 8—A group of young people at a Wasilla showing of "A Minecraft Movie" last week created such a disruption that police arrived and escorted them out. Screenings of the movie, which premiered Friday, are leading to national reports of disruptive behavior attributed to a social media trend that's prompted other police responses. A brief TikTok video showing Wasilla Police Department officers at The Valley Cinema screening last Friday had 4.4 million views as of Tuesday morning. The video shows two officers standing in front of the movie as the theater lights come up. One officer can be heard saying, "The guys in the back that body-slammed an employee ... all of you guys are not welcome here any more." The video also shows blurry images of a crowd milling around outside a theater as well as teens complaining as they walk out. A Wasilla police spokesperson this week said the incident occurred around 9 p.m. Friday. Five officers responded to a call from the theater manager, according to police spokesperson Amanda Graham. The manager said a large group of teenagers was being rowdy, Graham said Tuesday. "And then they requested that we escort them out." She said officers in a report described about 15 young people involved, "I think it was the two back rows." Asked for any specifics regarding an employee getting body-slammed, Graham said no charges were filed and all of the theater employees said they were "satisfied that everything was taken care of." A theater manager, as well as the owner of the chain that owns the theater, couldn't immediately be reached for comment Tuesday. The movie — based on Minecraft, the best-selling video game in history — stars Jack Black and Jason Momoa. One scene in particular, involving Black and Momoa in a boxing ring with a Minecraft chicken ridden by another character, is generating wild audience reactions. The "chicken jockey" scenes shared on social media show largely young audiences erupting in screams, ovations and popcorn-tossing. Reports of trouble at movie screenings have surfaced around the country and in Canada. According to the Independent, at least one UK cinema issued a warning that, "Disruptive behaviour, including taking part in TikTok trends, before, during, or after a screening will not be tolerated." An Anchorage Police Department spokesman said he hadn't heard any reports of calls to theaters in the municipality for disruptive behavior at "A Minecraft Movie" showings this week. At Wasilla, the theater manager's call prompted a large response. All officers on duty at the time came to the theater, Graham said. That decision was prompted by the number of teens involved, as well as a fatal stabbing that occurred at the same theater nearly a year ago. Police at the time said a teenager was killed during a fight at the theater involving multiple teens in April 2024. "With a group that size you want to make sure," Graham said of the five-officer response last Friday night. "With the stabbing there last year ... it definitely brings it back up. That was rough. It was also a large group of teens." Another teen was arrested in relation to what police called a homicide in the days following the stabbing. That case was prosecuted within the juvenile justice system because the suspect was under 16. Graham on Tuesday said issues involving teens in the community seem to occur whenever groups of young people gather in the same place, rather than at any one place in particular like the theater. She urged parents to talk with teens about their behavior and "making good choices and being the one in the group that encourages others to make good choices as well."
