What Mentalyc does
Mentalyc is a post-session documentation tool. It records the session audio and, after the session ends, generates a structured clinical note (SOAP, DAP, etc.). The workflow is: session → upload or record audio → wait → receive note.
It is useful if your primary need is saving time on clinical note writing after sessions.
How CauceOS works differently
CauceOS operates during the session in real time:
- Transcribes live as the conversation unfolds
- Displays crisis alerts at the moment a signal appears
- Suggests contextual questions based on the conversation thread
- And at the end, also generates the post-session report
The fundamental difference: Mentalyc exists only after the session. CauceOS is present during.
