AuthAI

Prior authorization for orthopedic practices

My dad is a physician, and I watched him stay up late fighting prior-authorization forms. AuthAI drafts clinical notes and checks them against insurers' prior-auth rules.

Why I started it

AuthAI pulled me into pitch competitions and a lot of conversations with doctors. It also showed me where I care most about AI: places where a wrong answer actually hurts someone.
