AskVet
Website: https://askvet.app/
AskVet is the leading AI and data-driven technology company in animal health. We use AI and our proprietary companion animal and livestock data to build highly intelligent veterinary agents that will join the workforce – enhancing engagement, improving efficiency, and supporting revenue growth for animal health organizations.
In 2023, AskVet introduced VERA (Veterinary Engagement & Relationship Agent), the world’s only AI veterinarian. VERA is trained on over 2.5 million recorded conversations between veterinarians and animal owners, curricula from six veterinary colleges, and more than 180 curated medical, nutritional, and behavioral data sets. She currently converses in 50 languages.
As a customizable conversational AI, VERA powers medical triage, operational support, customer acquisition, sales, retention, and back-end automation – making her an invaluable asset across the animal health ecosystem.
Demand in the US for animal health care for both companion animals and food production animals is outpacing supply of qualified veterinarians and technicians. The US animal health industry needs to use data and AI to augment and expand the available supply of human veterinary expertise to close the supply and demand gap. And the problem is much worse if you look at the global growth of companion and food production animals. AskVet has created a suite of data/AI products on the VERA platform where companion and food animal businesses can use their propriety data and VERA’s veterinary expertise to create differentiation and competitive advantage.
