The tool choice is a clinical choice
A new clinician who uploads a session to a free AI service has made a decision about client confidentiality, even if it felt like a productivity tweak. Supervision is the natural place to talk it through.
One test to teach
Ask: after this session, which companies hold a copy? In October 2026, more than 6,800 shared conversations from Meta's Muse AI assistant turned up in public DNS records. People had shared them believing they were private links.
The fewer parties holding a session, the fewer ways it can escape.
Questions for supervision
- Where is the recording processed?
- Is it kept, and for how long?
- Did the client know a tool was being used?
- Does the supervisee review and edit every draft?
A tool you can recommend
Astralcyte Notes transcribes the session and drafts the note on the clinician's own computer, deletes the temporary audio once the transcript is saved, and keeps everything in an encrypted vault. Nothing is sent to a cloud AI service. Supervisees review and edit every draft, so the note stays their clinical work.
