RxHello vs. General Purpose AI

Why a chatbot built for retail e-commerce shouldn't be handling protected health information.

The "Wrapper" Startups

There is a surge of startups taking a standard OpenAI API key, putting a chat interface on it, and selling it to small businesses. We'll call these "PharmBots".

They look modern and conversational, but they lack the fundamental architecture required for healthcare.

The Risk of Hallucination

A retail chatbot hallucinating a return policy is bad customer service. A pharmacy chatbot hallucinating a dosage instruction based on web-scraped data is a malpractice lawsuit.

RxHello uses a deterministic rules engine before the LLM to route clinical queries to a human.
