What is Alpha?
Alpha features are experimental capabilities that we’re actively developing:- Early Access: Try new features before general availability
- May Change: APIs and behavior may be modified without notice
- Not for Production: Use for evaluation, testing, and feedback only
- Shape the Product: Your feedback directly influences feature development
Available Alpha Features

Get expert medical opinions on clinical queries with AI-powered analysis
Template Generation
AI-assisted creation and refinement of clinical note templates
Medical Consensus
Submit clinical queries and receive comprehensive medical opinions synthesized from multiple expert sources. Useful for:- Validating diagnoses and treatment approaches
- Exploring differential diagnoses
- Getting second opinions on complex cases
Template Generation
Automatically create and refine note templates based on your existing documentation:- Generate: Analyze provider notes to create customized templates
- Refine: Improve existing templates with instructions or before/after comparisons
Alpha vs Stable API
| Aspect | Stable (v1/v2) | Alpha |
|---|---|---|
| Authentication | X-API-Key + X-Account-Id headers | Authorization: Bearer token |
| Base URL | https://api.sully.ai/v1/ | https://api.sully.ai/alpha/ |
| Stability | Production-ready | May change without notice |
| Support | Full support | Best-effort |
| SLA | Yes | No |
| Rate Limits | Standard limits | May have different limits |
Authentication
Alpha endpoints use Bearer token authentication instead of the header-based authentication used by stable endpoints.Alpha Authentication
Comparison with Stable API
You use the same API key for both stable and alpha endpoints. Only the header format differs.
Getting Alpha Access
Alpha features are available to all Sully.ai API users:- No special signup required — use your existing API key
- Immediate access — alpha endpoints are ready to use
- Same dashboard — manage your API keys at dashboard.api.sully.ai
Stability Expectations
When using alpha features, expect:| Change Type | Frequency | Notice |
|---|---|---|
| Bug fixes | Ongoing | None required |
| Response format changes | Occasional | Best-effort notification |
| Endpoint modifications | Rare | Announced when possible |
| Feature removal | Rare | Advance notice provided |
Best Practices for Alpha Usage
- Check documentation regularly for updates and changes
- Build flexible integrations that handle schema variations gracefully
- Don’t depend on alpha for critical workflows until features are stable
- Test thoroughly before any production use
- Subscribe to updates via the Sully.ai blog
Providing Feedback
Your feedback shapes how alpha features evolve. We want to hear about:- Use cases — How are you using or planning to use these features?
- Issues — Bugs, unexpected behavior, or confusing responses
- Suggestions — Feature requests and improvement ideas
- Integration challenges — Difficulties connecting alpha features to your workflows
How to Submit Feedback
Email: [email protected] When submitting feedback:- Include “Alpha Feedback” in your subject line
- Specify which alpha feature you’re using
- Describe your use case and any issues encountered
- Include request IDs and example payloads when relevant
Migration to Stable
When alpha features graduate to the stable API:- Announcement — We’ll publish a migration timeline
- Dual availability — Features will be available at both alpha and stable paths
- Migration period — You’ll have time to update your integration
- Deprecation — Alpha endpoints will be deprecated after the migration period
