Where Digitail falls short, per the models
- GPT Its expansive, AI-heavy platform can be more product—and potentially more cost and workflow change—than a small traditional clinic needs.
- Claude Still relatively new with occasional depth gaps in complex inventory/reporting and edge specialty workflows; heavy reliance on its own app ecosystem may not suit clinics with entrenched outside tools.
- Gemini Offers less granular customizability and weaker inpatient treatment sheet management compared to ezyVet or Instinct for heavy surgical or emergency caseloads.
