The real life people who keep every lecture honest.
RobotParrot is built by AI, but it isn't built alone. Experienced emergency physicians, educators, and AI industry experts are already helping shape what it teaches and how it's built — looking over the work and helping get it right.
Two kinds of expertise.
Getting this right takes people who know the medicine and people who know the AI. RobotParrot has leaned on both.
The AI experts
Experienced AI practitioners who help make the engine as sharp and reliable as the technology allows.
- ✓Sharpen the prompt engineering. So each lecture comes out accurate, focused, and well-taught — not generic.
- ✓Choose the best tools. Making sure RobotParrot runs on the strongest models and tooling available for the job.
- ✓Keep it honest. Pushing on the guardrails that catch hallucinated facts and fabricated citations before they reach you.
The clinical educators
Senior physicians and educators who contribute the teaching material the lectures are built on.
- ✓Provide the material. Validated teaching pearls and clinical content, organized by diagnosis, for the engine to draw on.
- ✓Set the bar. Their experience defines what good teaching looks like — the standard the lectures are written to.
- ✓Shape the source, not every script. They build the trusted material behind the lectures; they don't hand-review each one.
Jeremy Joslin, MD, MBA
An emergency physician and former hospital chief medical officer, with a tenured academic background in emergency, EMS, and wilderness medicine and more than twenty peer-reviewed publications. He founded IdiogenicOsmoles, a nearly 20-year medical-education app studio, and advises on AI and LLM applications.
- ✓Originated the concept. First described the "robotic parrot" at the NEJM Horizons challenge in 2008.
- ✓Builds the engine. Directs the pipeline, the prompts, and the safety guardrails behind every lecture.
- ✓Brings in the expertise. Recruits the clinicians and AI practitioners who keep it honest.
Sean Hagarty
Founder of a security-intelligence platform that monitors over a hundred languages for human-verified, real-world signal — the discipline of separating trustworthy information from noise.
- ✓Source verification. Pressure-tests how RobotParrot decides which sources to trust and how claims get checked.
- ✓Signal over noise. An intelligence operator's eye for filtering reliable evidence from the rest.
- ✓Operational rigor. Holds the build to the standard of systems people actually rely on under pressure.
Jason R. Ouellette, MD, FACP
Boston University School of Medicine, an internal-medicine residency at Yale-New Haven, and faculty appointments at Yale and Quinnipiac — a career-long clinician educator who has been training residents for two decades.
- ✓Trained the trainees. Former internal-medicine residency program director and Yale Primary Care clinician educator.
- ✓Clinical leadership. Former Chief Medical Officer at Palms West Hospital and former Department of Medicine chair.
- ✓Teaching standards. Knows what good resident education looks like — and holds the lectures to it.
