What is Doximity Ask (formerly DoxGPT)?
Doximity Ask is the clinical AI assistant in Doximity’s app, renamed from DoxGPT in May 2026. It answers clinical questions with inline citations in Instant or Thinking modes, gives drug information from 3,200+ monographs (vendor figure), reads uploaded files and drafts appeal letters, prior authorizations and patient messages. Doximity describes these features; they have not been independently tested.
Doximity says citations link to full-text PDFs from more than 2,000 peer-reviewed journals (vendor figure), and its drug monographs, grounded in FDA labeling, cover dosing, interactions, contraindications and side effects. You can upload lab reports, imaging summaries, research PDFs or clinical notes, and save preferences for journals, charting formats and letter style.
The drug content came from Pathway Medical, which Doximity bought for $63 million in 2025 and folded into DoxGPT within seven weeks, so it is recent and still maturing. Ask sits in the Clinical AI Suite with Scribe and Dialer, introduced May 7, 2026, and the old doxgpt.com address now redirects to Doximity.
Is Doximity free?
Doximity is free for eligible US clinicians: Ask, Scribe and Dialer cost nothing on desktop and mobile. The company earns most of its revenue from pharmaceutical and health system advertising and expected about $643 million in revenue for fiscal 2026. Free access depends on a verified Doximity account, and its privacy policy says member data is used to target sponsored content.
Doximity has not yet commercialized its AI tools on their own, so their long-term business model is unproven; for now, advertising pays for the free suite.
| Tool | What it does | Cost | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Doximity Ask | What it does: Cited answers, drug information, file uploads and letter drafting | Cost: Free | Source: Ask overview |
| Doximity Scribe | What it does: Ambient visit notes in SOAP, H&P, consult, procedure and dictation formats | Cost: Free | Source: Scribe page |
| Doximity Dialer | What it does: Calls to patients and pharmacies, plus telehealth | Cost: Free | Source: Clinical AI Suite, May 7, 2026 |
| Messaging and digital fax | What it does: Secure HIPAA-compliant messaging and fax | Cost: Free | Source: Doximity |
Does Doximity have an AI scribe?
Doximity Scribe is a free ambient AI scribe for verified US physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants and medical students. It listens in the background during a visit and drafts SOAP notes, histories and physicals, consults, procedure summaries or dictations, with custom templates. Doximity says it does not store or retain any audio, and you copy the finished note into the EHR.
Doximity’s help center says Scribe records visits of up to 140 minutes, and the iOS app needs iOS 26 or later. Scribe launched in July 2025 with more than 10,000 beta users, and Doximity said in May 2026 that active users of its AI search and Scribe had tripled in nine months (vendor figures).
Unlike OpenEvidence Visits, Doximity Scribe did not describe ICD-10, E/M or CPT coding suggestions as of October 2026. Doximity’s terms put patient consent on the clinician: you must get consent from everyone whose conversation is transcribed.
How accurate is Doximity Ask?
Doximity Ask’s accuracy evidence comes from Doximity. In a company-published evaluation of more than 1,300 physicians, DoxGPT was preferred over OpenEvidence and other tools at more than twice the rate of the next option. In August 2026 Doximity’s CEO called Ask the top-performing US-based model in the NOHARM benchmark. Both are company statements, and the preference study was not independently peer reviewed.
PeerCheck, Doximity’s physician-led review program, has more than 10,000 medical experts and is co-chaired by Eric Topol and former US Surgeon General Regina Benjamin; PeerCheck-certified answers link to the reviewing physicians’ profiles. That adds human oversight but does not measure accuracy. Open the cited sources before an answer changes patient care, especially for drug dosing.
| Finding | Source | Type of evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Preferred over OpenEvidence and other tools at more than twice the rate of the next option, among 1,300+ physicians | Source: Doximity, company-published | Type of evidence: Company evaluation, not peer reviewed |
| Called the top-performing US-based model in the NOHARM benchmark, a study by Stanford and Harvard researchers | Source: Doximity results, August 6, 2026 | Type of evidence: Company statement |
| PeerCheck review by 10,000+ physician experts, with reviewer profiles linked to certified answers | Source: Fierce Healthcare, February 2026 | Type of evidence: Review program, not an accuracy test |
Does Doximity integrate with Epic and other EHRs?
Doximity’s AI tools run in its own app rather than inside the EHR. Doximity’s September 2026 guide says Scribe works separately from your EHR, so you copy and paste each note into the chart. Doximity has said Scribe will be built into Aledade Assist, an EHR overlay for Aledade’s practices, without naming a date.
Health systems can roll out the Clinical AI Suite to their clinicians: Doximity reported more than 100 health systems with enterprise access in early 2026 and 150 on the suite by June 18, 2026 (vendor figures). On October 20, 2026, Doximity and Wolters Kluwer announced that clinicians at health systems using both will see UpToDate-based answers in Ask.
Is Doximity Ask HIPAA compliant?
Doximity’s Ask page calls it “HIPAA-compliant and secure by default,” and every Doximity user is covered by the company’s business associate agreement, which takes effect when you accept its terms. That agreement lets Doximity commercialize de-identified data, including for product development. Check your organization’s policy before entering patient-identifying details.
Doximity says Scribe does not store or retain any audio, a statement repeated in its FY2026 annual report. Many hospitals restrict which AI tools can hear patient conversations or receive patient details, so confirm that Doximity is approved before using it with patients.

How Clinical AI Report rates Doximity
70/100
#4 of 7 general clinical decision support tools
Doximity earns a Good rating for its scale and for measurable clinical gains after the Pathway Medical integration. Ask, renamed from DoxGPT in May 2026, advertises differential diagnosis support, treatment comparisons, inline citations, and PeerCheck review. These are vendor-described capabilities, not results from a new test by this publication. It ranks below dedicated CDS tools because the interface remains network-first and clinical depth is still narrower in several bedside workflows.

- Evidence and citations · 20%60
