Just Ask Samera

Your dental practice numbers, explained by AI

Ask JAS about your practice finances, associate pay, clinician performance and growth opportunities, and get a plain-English answer using your Clever Practice data and connected Dentally and Xero information. No spreadsheets, no report building, no waiting.

Ask the questions behind your practice numbers.

Ask about the financial and operational numbers behind your practice, from profitability and clinician performance to chair utilisation, growth opportunities and associate pay. These are the questions that would normally mean finding the right report and working through the numbers yourself.

Profit & margins

Why was my profit lower last month?

How has my net margin changed over the last six months?What costs increased the most this quarter?
Clinician performance

Which clinicians generated the most revenue this quarter?

Which clinician has the highest revenue per hour?How does each clinician's performance compare with last month?
Chair utilisation

Where are we losing the most chair time?

Which clinicians have the most unused capacity?Which days of the week have the most empty chair hours?
EBITDA

What was my EBITDA last month?

Why did my EBITDA fall compared with the previous month?How has EBITDA changed over the last 12 months?
Revenue recovery

Which patients have outstanding treatment but no future appointment?

Which lapsed patients represent the biggest revenue opportunity?Where is the biggest recoverable revenue opportunity right now?
Associate pay

Why is this associate's payout lower than last month?

What deductions were applied to this associate's pay?How much of this associate's income came from private versus NHS work?

Let JAS make sense of the numbers for you.

Clever Performance, Clever Growth and Clever Pay each show you a different part of your practice. JAS works across all three, so instead of interpreting every dashboard yourself, you can ask what's happening, why it's happening and where you should look next.

JAS

JAS brings the whole picture together

Instead of working out which dashboard to open or trying to connect the numbers yourself, ask JAS the question. It looks across the relevant Clever Practice data and gives you the answer with the context behind it.

Why was my profit lower last month?
Profit fell mainly because clinician utilisation was lower while associate costs increased. Tuesday afternoons accounted for the largest amount of unused chair time.

Powered by your connected Dentally and Xero data, plus Clever Performance, Clever Growth and Clever Pay.

From question to answer in seconds.

You don't need to know which report to open or which metric to check. Ask JAS the question in normal language and it works through the relevant practice data for you.

1

Ask the question

Type the question the way you'd ask your accountant, practice manager or finance team. No formulas, report names or filters to learn. "Why did my profit fall last month?"

2

JAS works through the data

JAS looks through the relevant practice information to find the numbers connected to your question. It does the digging instead of making you work through different reports yourself.

3

Get the answer and understand why

JAS gives you the answer in plain English, together with the figures and context needed to understand what's happening. Then keep asking: "What caused that?", "Which clinician contributed most?", "How does that compare with last quarter?"

Have a conversation with your practice data, rather than just looking at another dashboard.

Common questions about JAS.

Just Ask Samera (JAS) is the AI assistant inside Clever Practice. It lets you ask questions about your practice finances, performance, growth opportunities and associate pay using the relevant data already available across Clever Practice, Dentally and Xero.

No. That's one of the main reasons JAS exists. If you can see a number but don't know what it means, where it came from or what to look at next, ask JAS and it can help you interpret the relevant data.

Yes, where the underlying data supports it. You can ask why profit fell, what changed in EBITDA, why an associate payout is different, or where chair utilisation has dropped, then ask follow-up questions to investigate further.

No. JAS is available with the full Clever Practice platform, or Samera Complete, which includes it. It isn't part of Clever Practice Lite, which covers associate pay automation on its own.

No. JAS helps you interrogate and understand your practice data. It doesn't replace professional financial, tax or accountancy advice, which is provided separately by the relevant Samera entities.

Your data is encrypted and held under GDPR on UK-based servers. Only the data relevant to your questions flows in from Dentally and Xero.
