“We kept wishing there was a safe way to practice full consultations before facing real clients… but nothing like that existed.”

OUR STORY
About Better Veterinarians
Two vet students built ACTS so every student can practise full consultations before facing real clients.
Our Story
The idea for ACTS was born during our own consultation training at university. Coming from client-facing roles, we thought we were strong communicators. We quickly discovered how hard it is to truly listen, take accurate notes, ask the right questions, build problem lists, and show genuine empathy — all while the clock is ticking.
A few months later, James turned to Corey and asked, “Could we actually build something that mimics a real client-vet conversation?” Corey replied without hesitation: “I think I can make that happen.” Ten months, eight prototypes, and countless late nights later, we had done it.
Today, ACTS is helping universities and students transform veterinary education — one confident consultation at a time.
Meet the Founders
“We combined real veterinary experience with cutting-edge AI to create a veterinary simulator that feels remarkably human.”

Our Vision
A world where every graduating veterinarian enters practice already confident in their medical knowledge and their ability to connect compassionately with clients. By removing the fear of consultations, we want to reduce burnout across the profession.
OUR MISSION
Elevating veterinary education through intelligent, risk-free simulation.
Every veterinary student deserves unlimited opportunities to master client communication and clinical reasoning — without ever risking a real patient or client relationship.
Consultations are one of the most critical, and most challenging, skills for students, new graduates, and practising veterinarians. Traditional training is expensive, subjective, and time-consuming.
That’s why we built a real-time, AI-powered veterinary consultation simulator for education. Students can practise complete OSCE-style consultations and build genuine confidence.
Our Values
Build Confidence
We exist to create more confident, competent veterinary graduates. Safe, realistic practice helps reduce the burnout that plagues the profession.
Integrated Learning
Consultations are never just conversation. Every simulation weaves in clinical reasoning, history-taking, empathy, and decision-making — with targeted educational feedback.
Realistic Practice
Students practise full-length consultations in a safe environment that mirrors real clinical life, complementing traditional training and live client interactions.
Relentless Improvement
We evolve constantly — guided by user feedback and the latest advances in AI — so ACTS remains the most effective veterinary training tool available.
