An AI scribe that knows you're a psychologist.
Most AI scribes were built around the medical encounter and adapted afterwards for therapy, so the documentation they produce is shaped by presenting complaints and treatment plans rather than the formulation-led thinking that drives psychological work. Cogent drafts in your modality's conventions, learns the phrasing you default to across sessions with the same client, masks identifiers in your browser before anything reaches the model, and runs on UK infrastructure your indemnity insurer and information governance lead will already recognise.
The mapping back to the real names stays on your device, encrypted under your password, with Cogent itself never holding a key that would let it read them.
UK-hosted AI, drafting in your modality's conventions, with nothing in your content ever used to train a model.
Session 12, CBT
Presenting
Sara returned to the formulation from session 6, with renewed engagement around social withdrawal.
Therapeutic work
Reviewed last week's behavioural experiment. Socratic dialogue around the prediction "if I cancel, they will think less of me".
Risk & plan
No active risk indicators. Continue current CBT formulation, six further sessions agreed.
A CBT note should not look like an EMDR note pretending.
You should not have to teach a tool that "client" is the default term, that risk has to be recorded in every entry, that defusion is not restructuring, that limited reparenting is not generic warmth, or that EMDR notes need phase and SUDS. Eight modalities ship at launch, and the system prompt knows the difference between them in the same way a supervisor knows the difference between them.
The plan develops with the work.
After each session note you accept, Cogent reads the new content alongside the existing formulation and proposes per-section updates wherever the note suggests something has shifted, presenting each proposal as a diff with a short rationale that names the session, the evidence, and the change being suggested, so that the plan moves only when you accept the move. There are no silent edits, and the formulation reflects what you have already noticed in the work rather than what an algorithm has decided in your absence.
Reduce avoidance. Build evidence against catastrophic predictions. Begin graded interpersonal exposure in close relationships.
Maintain CBT focus. Consider compassion-focused work. Sequence: continue CBT consolidation; revisit CFT at plan-and-review (session 18).
Six further sessions. Plan-and-review at session 18.
Identifiers never leave the device.
Eight categories of identifying content are detected and replaced with placeholders in your browser before anything is sent for drafting, with the mapping back encrypted under your password and held only on the device you signed in from. Cogent itself cannot read the names, and if the database were ever accessed without permission, the identifiers a clinician most cares about would not be in it.
Three commitments about your clients' material, written into how the product works rather than into a policy document.
You are the author of record.
Every output Cogent produces is a draft you review and accept, with the AI itself never diagnosing, never recommending treatment, never predicting risk beyond what you have already documented, and never interpreting test scores on its own initiative.
Identifiers never leave your device.
Beyond the masking demonstrated above, Cogent does not hold the key that would let it read the names, could not be compelled to produce them, and the version of the data stored on Cogent's own servers carries placeholders rather than real identifiers.
UK-hosted, with no training on your content.
All hosting, storage, and AI processing happens inside the United Kingdom, the AI provider is contractually prohibited from using your content to train any model, and every sub-processor that touches any part of the work is named in the Trust Centre so the chain can be verified rather than taken on trust.
Six dimensions where Cogent diverges from the AI scribes you have already evaluated.
Four of the things Cogent does, all of them shaped by how psychology actually runs.
Folders that hold one client's record, transcription that stays in your browser, pre-supervision briefs drawn from the work, and a reflective chat scoped to one client at a time, with several others (psychometric scoring, custom templates, a general clinical-knowledge chat, prep for the next session) sitting one click away on the features page.
- Longitudinal client foldersQuick switch
One folder per client, holding the record as the work builds it.
Drafts, session transcripts, a four-section living formulation, and a thinking-out-loud chat scoped to that one client all sit inside that one folder, with the AI never reading across folders, so the record builds itself as you work and stays in the place where you would already be looking for it.
How client folders work - Live in-browser transcriptionStart capture
UK-based session transcription, with your consent and under your encryption key.
You can dictate the note directly or transcribe a session live, with the audio going from your browser direct to an EU-based transcription service in Dublin under the UK Addendum to the EU SCCs, never travelling through Cogent's own servers, and the transcripts coming back encrypted under your key and stored in the UK until you delete them.
How transcription stays private - Pre-supervision briefsGenerate brief
Walk into supervision ready, rather than scrambling for the right page.
A short brief drawn from the client's living formulation and the most recent sessions, with case snapshot, current trajectory, present focus, and the questions you actually want to bring all sitting in one document that opens in the order you would say it in the room.
- Snapshot of where the work is, rather than a recap of recent events
- The questions worth raising, surfaced rather than buried in the diary
- Anonymised by default before anything is shared with your supervisor
- Reflective thinking chatOpen chat
A thinking-out-loud chat in the voice of peer consultation, scoped to one client.
Every client folder on the Professional tier has a chat that draws on that one client's plan and recent drafts only, so you can compare frameworks, think through sequencing, or sit with a dilemma without receiving directive advice and without anything ever being cross-referenced against another client's material.
- Anchored to that one client's plan and recent drafts
- Replies in the voice of peer consultation rather than directive advice
- Refuses diagnosis, treatment recommendations, and risk prediction
Try it on this week's work.
The free tier covers ten generations a month with no card to start and no time limit on the trial, so you only upgrade when Cogent has earned at least the cost of a session in time saved.
