The AI scribe listens to the audio of the consultation and produces a draft of the clinical note that the physician reviews and edits. In this study, consultations are randomized to 2 groups: usual documentation (without AI) or documentation assisted by the AI scribe. Adult patients seen in participating clinics, and their physicians, are invited to take part. For both groups, the consultation audio is recorded and, at the end of the visit, physicians and patients complete short questionnaires about well-being, workload, communication, empathy, and satisfaction. The questionnaires are based on internationally used scales (such as PFI, Mini-Z, NASA-TLX, CARE, PSQ-18, and CAT) but a
