VibeRounds — AI that questions, not answers

The idea

What is Vibe Rounds?

Vibe Rounds is a Socratic AI paradigm for medical students, clinicians, researchers and scientists: it augments clinical reasoning through structured questioning, guided discovery and reflective dialogue rather than direct answers.Coined by Dr. Avinash Kumar Gupta, June 2026

Just as vibe coding lets developers build software through natural language, Vibe Rounds applies the same spirit to clinical thinking. The learner stays in charge of the reasoning. The AI acts like a good attending: it challenges assumptions, flags reasoning biases and asks "why?" instead of supplying the conclusion.

Not AI replacing doctors. AI that sharpens how you think: it asks the questions that help you practice reasoning, spot your own biases and justify your decisions. Built for learning and clinical thinking, not for diagnosing or managing patients.

Example exchange

What is your leading diagnosis, and which finding would most change your mind?

Acute coronary syndrome. A tearing back pain would make me doubt it.

Good, you've committed. What does tearing back pain point toward instead, and how would you rule it in or out?

🔓 Committed. Hints are now unlocked.

Illustrative example, not a real patient.

Where it fits in teachingThe five-stage pedagogical spectrum

Learning moves from instructor-centered to learner-centered. Vibe Rounds is built for stages 3 and 4, and reaches into 5.

1Lecture

2Dyadic

3Socratic

4Guided discovery

5Research

Start at "Research" and learners drown in ambiguity; stay at "Lecture" and they never build independent thought. Highlighted stages are where Vibe Rounds works.

The module library57+ reasoning modules, 4 teaching frameworks, 200+ pipelines

Under the hood, Vibe Rounds is a library of composable prompts ("modules") you can run on a case alone or chain into pipelines, for example 1 → 12 → 9 → 21 → 35. It is a prompt architecture, not software with automated checks. All outputs need independent clinical verification.

FAQ

Common questions

Quick answers before you start.

Is it free?

Yes to start. The prompts are free to copy into any AI chat. The apps run on your own API key, and you can get a free key from OpenRouter or any LLM provider and use the apps for free. Live training is separate: email to ask about it.

Which AI does it work with?

Any of them. Paste a prompt into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini, or connect the apps to a model through OpenRouter or another LLM provider using your own API key.

Does it give diagnoses?

No. It is a learning tool for clinical thinking, not for diagnosing or managing patients, and not for real patient care. The AI is built to ask questions and hold back answers until you have committed to your own reasoning. All AI outputs need independent verification.

Who can see my data?

Your API key is stored only in your browser and is not sent to our servers. What you type goes to the AI provider you choose, so use synthetic or de-identified cases only, never anything that identifies a patient. If you accept the cookie notice, this page uses Google Analytics to count visits.

Training

Learn it live with Dr. Avinash

Reading gets you the "what." A live session gets you the "how": running a real (deidentified) case with a group asking the same questions you are.

Online small-group Zoom sessions, or on-site for a department or school. Seats include access to a working group of educators and clinicians building on the framework.
