Agentic Index
DeepScribe vs Suki (2026)
DeepScribe and Suki both sell AI documentation through sales, with no public price. That verdict is the Agentic Index coverage score, graded from each vendor's own published materials.
DeepScribe is built for oncology and other specialties: summaries before the visit, coding in the note, a style that learns from the clinician's edits, and two way integration with Epic, OncoEMR and iKnowMed. Suki is a broader voice assistant, with ambient notes, dictation, voice editing, chart questions, coding and orders staged for clinician approval across Epic, Oracle Health, athenahealth and MEDITECH. Suki offers an API and a wider set of voice tools across the major EHRs, while DeepScribe goes deeper into oncology. Choose DeepScribe for an oncology practice on OncoEMR or iKnowMed; choose Suki for a voice assistant across the major EHRs.
On the Agentic Index healthcare agent ranking, neither DeepScribe nor Suki clears the bar, which asks for all five chart loop capabilities documented in full. DeepScribe does not document knowledge grounding and RAG in full, nor observability and auditability; Suki does not document security and identity governance in full, nor observability and auditability. 4 of the 69 vendors in the lane clear it.

This comparison is published by Agentic Index, an independent agentic AI vendor research platform. DeepScribe and Suki are each graded against the same 14 capability Agentic Index taxonomy, from the vendor's own public materials under the Agentic Index verification standard, alongside 955 researched vendors. No vendor pays for placement and no vendor has reviewed this page. How this evidence is graded
Choose DeepScribe if
- Your practice is oncology and runs OncoEMR or iKnowMed.
- Notes should adapt to each clinician's style from the edits they make.
- Security controls must be documented in full; DeepScribe is Full on security.
Choose Suki if
- Clinicians want dictation, voice editing and chart questions beside the ambient note.
- Orders should be staged for clinician approval inside the record.
- Your developers need a documented API and SDKs.

Integrations & Tool Calling Ability to connect agents to real systems through native integrations, OAuth-authenticated actions, custom tools, APIs, webhooks, or MCP-compatible tools. |
||
|
DeepScribeIntegrations & Tool Calling Native two way integrations connect DeepScribe to Epic, OncoEMR and iKnowMed Generation 2. Notes and E/M, ICD-10 and HCC codes are generated inside the EHR with sync in both directions, and clinicians pick patients from a synced schedule.

|
SukiIntegrations & Tool Calling Suki has deep, real time integrations with Epic, Oracle Health, athenahealth and MEDITECH. Notes sync directly into the EHR, and orders from the conversation are staged there for the clinician. Partners including WellSky, Azalea Health and MEDENT embed Suki, Patient Summary takes the FHIR bundles partners upload, and dictation can be written straight into an EHR chart field.

SukiWorkflow Orchestration Ambient notes, order staging, coding, chart Q&A, pre-visit summaries and form filling run as fixed functions of one assistant, and one visit can span several sessions for the same patient.

Triggers & Channel Coverage How agents wake up and where they work: schedules, webhooks, message events, CRM events, inbox events, chat, email, voice, and collaboration tools. |
||
|
DeepScribeTriggers & Channel Coverage The clinician opens the app at the start of the visit and selects the patient from a synced schedule. Capture works in person and in telehealth across 110+ languages. DeepScribe names nothing that starts work on its own from an event or schedule, and does not say when SmartPrep runs. Sourcedeepscribe.ai/solutions/ai-medical-scriberead 2026-09-28 |
||
|
SukiTriggers & Channel Coverage The clinician starts ambient capture, dictation or voice editing on iOS, Android, desktop, the web app or the Chrome extension. Every run is launched by a person or the partner's application, across several surfaces. Suki names no event or schedule that starts one without them. Partners can, for example, request summaries for every appointment on a provider's schedule before the day begins.

Knowledge Grounding & RAG Ability to ground agent behavior in company data through document ingestion, retrieval, external knowledge APIs, semantic search, or RAG layers. |
||
|
DeepScribeKnowledge Grounding & RAG SmartPrep pulls from every source in the EHR into a structured summary of the chart before the visit. The scribe carries prior notes, labs, imaging, medications and diagnoses into the day's note. This context is assembled from the chart for each visit, and DeepScribe names no maintained retrieval structure. Sourcedeepscribe.ai/solutions/smartprepread 2026-09-28 |
||
|
SukiKnowledge Grounding & RAG Patient Summary draws only on Suki's Clinical Knowledge Graph, which stores the patient FHIR data partners ingest, and gives clinicians a concise overview of recent history before an appointment. If the ingested data is incomplete, outdated or missing, the summary reflects that. Chart Q&A answers questions about a patient's chart data, and pre-visit summaries give an overview of the patient's history.

|
Memory & State Persistence Ability to persist context across a run, conversation, workflow, user, team, or longer-term memory layer. |
||
|
DeepScribeMemory & State Persistence Customization Studio learns from each clinician's edits and proposes customizations that become the default. The clinician can adjust them in natural language, and they apply from the next encounter, with logic per encounter type. Customizations are kept per clinician, and DeepScribe states no lifetime or way to delete them. Sourcedeepscribe.ai/solutions/customization-studioread 2026-09-28 |
||
|
SukiMemory & State Persistence Notes can be tailored to the clinician's preferred writing style and format, and the partner API exposes personalization endpoints. Preferences such as verbosity (concise, balanced or detailed) and section formatting persist per clinician, apply to all of that clinician's future notes and change when set again. Suki does not say how to delete them. SourceSuki, suki.ai/partners and developer.suki.ai note personalizationread 2026-10-06 |

|
Human Oversight & Guardrails Approval steps, consent checkpoints, escalation rules, structured guardrails, policy constraints, and pause/resume controls. |
||
|
DeepScribeHuman Oversight & Guardrails Review and sign off is a step in the product workflow. The clinician reviews the drafted note and signs it before it is final, so nothing enters the record until the clinician confirms it. Sourcedeepscribe.ai/solutions/ai-medical-scriberead 2026-09-28 |
||
|
SukiHuman Oversight & Guardrails Before an order from the patient conversation is placed, Suki stages it for the clinician to review and approve, and in the Web SDK the provider can link orders to problems and complete missing fields before submitting the note. Suki does not submit orders to the EHR itself. The partner's workflow does that once they are confirmed. Clinicians also keep control of note quality and tone through voice editing.
