Notes
The note is yours. The typing you already did is not.
Write up the session while it is still in the room with you, with everything your client already answered carried into the right section and marked as such. Nothing listens to the hour, and nothing writes your clinical reasoning for you.
How it goes
Four steps, and you write the one that matters.
01
Open it beside the session.
SOAP, DAP or a treatment plan. On a wide screen it docks to the right so your client stays on the left at full size — you are still in the session, not in a document.
02
What was answered is already in.
If your client completed a measure earlier in the hour, its score is sitting in the section that calls for it, tagged Auto-filled so you can see at a glance what you typed and what came across.
03
Write the rest your way.
Type it, dictate it with your browser’s own voice-to-text, or drop in a phrase you use constantly from your snippet rail. Add a private note against any single field that your client never sees.
04
Take it where the chart lives.
Copy the whole note to the clipboard, or download it. One combined file covers every template you used in the session.
Where the draft comes from
Not from a recording. There isn’t one.
The usual way to get a note out of a session is to record the hour, send the audio to a transcription service, and have a model write a draft from the transcript. That works. It also means a copy of every word your client said now exists outside your control, on infrastructure you do not run, and you are the one who has to explain that to them.
Rivet takes the other route. The clinical facts an AI scribe would try to pull back out of a transcript — the depression score, the distress ratings, the thought record, the safety plan — were captured directly, in structure, at the moment they happened, because your client filled them in. So there is nothing to reconstruct. The note pulls from that structured data, and the transfer is a copy: the same value, moved into the field that asks for it, marked so you can see it came across.
No model reads your client’s answers. No service hears the session. The only thing moving is data your client already gave you, into the box that asks for it.
What that leaves you is the part a transcript never captured well anyway. A scribe can tell you what was said; it cannot tell you what you noticed, what you made of it, or what you intend to do next session. Those three are the note. They stay yours to write, and the page gets out of the way while you do.

Questions you are holding
The ones that actually come up.
Is the session recorded or transcribed?
No. There is no recording feature, no transcript of the conversation, and nothing listening to the hour. It is the first thing people ask and the answer is the flat one.
Then what is the microphone on the note field?
Your browser’s own dictation — the same thing as the mic on your phone keyboard. It types what you say into your note. It is you dictating your own words, not the session being captured. The audio goes to your browser’s dictation service, which on some browsers means the browser vendor’s cloud, exactly as phone keyboard dictation does. Rivet’s servers never receive it, and you never have to use it.
Does an AI write the draft?
No. What appears in a field was already typed by your client into a template earlier in the session — the score from the measure they filled in. It is moved, not written. No model is involved at any point.
Can my client see the note?
No. Notes are practitioner-only. They are never sent across the connection to your client, so there is no setting to get wrong.
Does it push into my EHR?
No, and that is on purpose. Your EHR stays your system of record; Rivet is where the session happens. You copy the note across or attach the file, and the chart carries on.
What if I write nothing during the session?
Then you write it after, like you do now, with the measures and their scores already on the client’s record instead of on a sticky note.
