Practical AI for gastroenterology, built by the people who practice it.

Real tools — surveillance intervals, pathology reports, hepatology — free to use, built and checked by GI doctors, with patient data that never leaves your office.

Project G.I. emblemFIG.01 — endoscopic aperture
Watch · 60-second intro

What Project G.I. is, in the words of the people building it.

A short introduction to why we started, who it's for, and how it protects patient data.

The catalog

Narrow tools that each do one thing exceptionally well.

Most healthcare software is built for the average physician. These are built for gastroenterology — small, focused, and useful on day one.

GI-01

Colonoscopy Preparation Navigator

Patient-specific prep timing and instructions tuned to the ordered regimen.

GI-02

Pathology Report Parser

Turns a free-text GI pathology report into structured, checkable findings.

GI-03

Surveillance Recommendation Assistant

Post-polypectomy and Barrett's intervals from published guidelines, reasoning shown.

GI-04

Endoscopy Quality Metrics

Tracks ADR, withdrawal time, and cecal intubation against benchmarks.

GI-05

IBD Disease Timeline

Assembles a patient's IBD course into one reviewable timeline.

GI-06

Capsule Endoscopy Review

Surfaces findings across a capsule study to speed the read.

GI-07

GI Guideline Copilot

Answers guideline questions with citations you can check yourself.

GI-08

Proposed by the community

Clinicians submit what they need next. The catalog grows from real practice.

Privacy by design

The best way to protect a chart is to never let it leave the room.

Wherever it's technically feasible, documents are read in your own browser. You approve the de-identified output before anything is transmitted.

01

Read locally

The document is processed in your browser, on your device.

02

Flag PHI

Potential identifiers are detected before anything is sent.

03

You review

You check the de-identified output and decide what's safe.

04

Send approved only

Only the de-identified text you approved is transmitted.

05

Source stays put

The original document is never uploaded — full stop.

GuaranteeThe original source document is never uploaded.
What we hold to · eight principles

Not a company handing you a black box.

A set of commitments the project is built to keep — to the physician, the patient, and the community that builds it.

P/01

Build around the EMR, not against it

We're not an EMR, a practice management system, or a billing platform. We extend the systems you already have with specialty-specific intelligence — complementing your workflow, not replacing it.

P/02

Specialty-first innovation

Designed specifically for gastroenterology, not the average physician. Narrowly scoped, high-value tools — each one solving a single meaningful problem exceptionally well.

P/03

Privacy by design

Documents are processed locally when feasible, PHI is flagged before transmission, and you review the de-identified output. Only what you approve leaves the device — the source never does.

P/04

Community-driven innovation

An open collaboration. Gastroenterologists, nurses, researchers, engineers, data scientists, and students contribute ideas, code, validation studies, workflows, and teaching — accelerating progress together rather than in isolation.

P/05

Evidence before automation

Every recommendation is transparent: it references published GI guidelines, explains its reasoning, and names its uncertainty. No black boxes. The physician remains the final decision-maker.

P/06

Regulatory-conscious design

Clinical software has to be built responsibly. We align with privacy, security, and regulatory expectations from the start — recognizing that requirements vary by jurisdiction and intended use.

P/07

Open knowledge

Knowledge the community creates should benefit the community — open standards, shared workflows, reusable prompts, validation datasets, and interoperable components that improve over time.

P/08

Practical AI

Less interested in showing what AI can do than in solving what clinicians face daily. Every module answers one question: does this meaningfully improve patient care, physician efficiency, clinical quality, or medical knowledge?

Built together

Your colleagues building it in the open — where you can see what it does and why.

Clinicians co-design and validate

GI doctors and their staff say what they need, test tools against their own cases, and share what actually works with each other. That last part is where the trust comes from.

  • Nurses
  • Practice staff
  • Researchers

Developers contribute in the open

The codebase is open to contribution. Engineers, data scientists, and students can improve the tools, the datasets, and the standards that hold them together.

Small practices are getting left behind on AI. This is how they catch up.
