Rad AI is a San Francisco-based company that develops generative AI software for radiology. It was founded in 2018 by Doktor Gurson and Jeff Chang to automate portions of radiology report generation and reduce the administrative burden on radiologists.
The company's core product, Rad AI Omni, generates draft impressions for radiology reports based on a radiologist's dictated findings, integrating with existing dictation and PACS/RIS workflows. Rad AI markets its software to hospital systems and radiology practices, positioning it as a tool to reduce reporting time and physician burnout while maintaining reporting consistency across large practices.
Rad AI has raised funding from investors including Khosla Ventures, Gradient Ventures (Google's AI-focused fund), and General Catalyst across multiple funding rounds. The company has grown its customer base among U.S. radiology groups and hospital systems since its founding.

Who Rad AI competes with, and how they differ.
Microsoft's Nuance unit owns PowerScribe, the long-standing radiology dictation and reporting platform Rad AI is most often displacing — Yale New Haven Health moved to Rad AI as Microsoft sunset PowerScribe 360. Nuance sells documentation AI across every specialty (Dragon, DAX) and bundles it with Azure, whereas Rad AI is radiology-only and sells its own domain-trained models directly to imaging practices and health systems.
9 products reviewed on TopReviewedAidoc competes for the same radiology AI budget but from the pixel side: FDA-cleared algorithms that read the image and flag time-critical findings such as pulmonary embolism and intracranial hemorrhage, now extended into an orchestration platform for third-party models. Rad AI works on the report text and the follow-up loop rather than on image interpretation.
1 product reviewed on TopReviewedViz.ai overlaps Rad AI Continuity directly — both close the loop between a finding in an imaging study and the clinician who must act on it. Viz.ai triggers that loop from its own 50+ FDA-cleared detection algorithms across neuro, cardiac and vascular pathways; Rad AI triggers it from language in the radiologist's finished report, which covers incidental findings no detection algorithm was trained for.
1 product reviewed on TopReviewedSolventum, the 3M Health Information Systems spinout, sells M*Modal Fluency for Imaging — the other established speech-driven radiology reporting platform alongside Nuance PowerScribe. It reaches radiology through 3M's incumbent health-information and coding footprint, while Rad AI is a venture-funded pure play that leads with generative report drafting rather than dictation front-ends.
