Local-first · Your videos never leave your machine

Your surgical cases,
understood.

Surgikal turns raw OR recordings into protocol-compliant summaries, objective performance scorecards, and draft operative notes — building a searchable case library that you own, on your own machine.

Request early access How it works

Built by a surgical oncologist. Runs on your Mac. You pay only for the AI you use (~$1–3 per case).

One recording in, five outputs out

A 2-hour laparoscopic recording becomes everything you actually need from it — in about the time it takes to write up the case by hand.

Surgical summary

A 10–30 minute cut of the surgically meaningful moments, chaptered by phase, defined by your own retain/skip protocol.

Performance scorecard

Objective per-case metrics — critical view of safety, phase efficiency, confidence — compared against your own history.

Operative note draft

A structured SAGES-format note drafted from video evidence and your dictation. You review, edit, approve, export.

A protocol that learns

Your corrections become new protocol versions. The system classifies the next case the way you would.

A searchable library

Every case indexed and full-text searchable. Curate teaching collections and export highlight reels.

Coming: review anywhere

Approve cases, edit notes, and dictate from your phone — while the raw video stays on your machine.

How it works

No uploads, no waiting on someone else's servers. The heavy work happens where the video already is.

1

Drop the recording

Drag it into the app, or point Surgikal at a folder — the OR computer can feed cases to your Mac automatically.

2

AI does the first pass

Frames are extracted locally and classified against your protocol by Claude. Only still images are sent — never the video.

3

You decide

Review the classification, flip anything the AI got wrong, approve the cut. Your corrections make the next case better.

Built for clinical reality

Data handling a clinician can explain to their hospital in one sentence.

Raw video stays localThe recording never crosses the internet — structurally enforced, not just promised.
You own the dataCases live on your machine in open formats. Export everything, any time, no lock-in.
Transparent AI useFrame images go to Anthropic's Claude for analysis and are not stored or trained on.
Surgeon in the loopEvery AI output — summary, scorecard, note — requires your review and approval.
