Augnito vs Corti (2026)
Two European companies that arrived at ambient documentation from clinical speech, and they sell at different layers. Augnito comes from a transcription business with more than two decades in a national health service estate and pairs speech recognition with ambient capture in one platform, which is the practical shape for an organisation moving clinicians off dictation gradually rather than switching overnight. Corti sells the models themselves as infrastructure, with sovereign cloud or on premise deployment, language specific models built to handle accent variation, and a live fact by fact review loop instead of a finished narrative to proofread. If you are running a migration, Augnito covers both ends of it. If you intend to own the documentation layer or embed it in your own product, Corti is selling that and Augnito is not.
- It pairs clinical speech recognition with ambient documentation in one platform, which suits an organisation migrating clinicians off dictation rather than starting fresh.
- Two decades of clinical speech work in a national health service estate means the regulatory and procurement experience is already inside the company.
- For a health system with a large existing dictation base, one vendor across both modalities avoids running two contracts through a multi year transition.
- It sells models as infrastructure through documented interfaces, with sovereign cloud, any cloud or on premise deployment, so clinical audio need never leave the institution.
- The architecture is described mechanically as a staged loop that surfaces atomic facts for live clinician review, rather than presenting a finished narrative to proofread.
- Named and dated attestations and language specific models built to handle accent variation by engineering rather than by disclaimer.
This comparison is published by AI Health Index, an independent research platform that compares healthcare AI vendors objectively. Augnito and Corti are each graded against the same capability taxonomy, from each vendor's own public materials and the regulatory record, under the AI Health Index verification standard.

Side by Side
Each record in one paragraph
Written to be quoted whole. Each paragraph states what the AI Health Index verified about the vendor, with the caveats attached. Generated from this pair’s live capability grades, so it moves when a grade moves.
The AI Health Index awards Augnito its top capability grade on AI Centrality and Setting and Specialty Coverage. Set against Corti, Augnito grades higher on EHR and Interoperability Depth and Setting and Specialty Coverage. Its thinnest published disclosure sits on AI Liability and Recourse. Grades reflect evidence the AI Health Index could verify at the last review, so a low grade records disclosure the vendor has not published rather than a capability it has been shown to lack.

Questions buyers ask
Should we choose Augnito or Corti?
On the axes where the AI Health Index separates them, Augnito grades higher on EHR and Interoperability Depth and Setting and Specialty Coverage, and Corti grades higher on several axes, including Autonomy and Oversight Model, Model and Technology Transparency and Model Supply Chain Disclosure. Corti leads on the greater share of scored axes, but the split means the decision turns on which constraint is binding rather than on an overall winner.
Where do Augnito and Corti differ most?
The widest separation the AI Health Index records between Augnito and Corti is on Autonomy and Oversight Model, where Augnito grades C and Corti grades A. That axis sits in the AI Capability group, so it should carry the most weight for a buyer whose binding constraint is how much of the work the model itself is trusted to do.
Where do Augnito and Corti grade the same?
The AI Health Index grades Augnito and Corti the same on several axes, including AI Centrality, Clinical and Operational Evidence and HIPAA and BAA Posture. Neither holds an advantage the index can evidence on those axes, so they should not carry weight in a selection between these two.
What have Augnito and Corti not disclosed?
At the last review, at least one of Augnito and Corti published thin or absent detail on AI Liability and Recourse. The AI Health Index treats an absent disclosure as a gap in the public record rather than a failure of the product, so these are the axes to get in writing during diligence instead of inferring from the grade.

Both are European first and neither is a straightforward United States purchase: establish business associate terms explicitly rather than assuming the European compliance framing transfers. Corti's evidence for the ambient documentation product specifically is thin, resting on a vendor generated figure and commissioned market research rather than clinical study, which sits oddly against its strong technical disclosure. Augnito publishes no accuracy figure, model card or evaluation methodology, and carries a services heritage that makes its commercial model different from a per clinician software subscription.
