AI Tools That Work With Nookal (2026): Scribes & Receptionists
For clinics running Nookal in 2026, the AI tools with verified integrations are: AI scribes: Motics (our product), Preve and CliniScribe, which all file notes into Nookal; and AI reception: Motics Phone Agent, which books, reschedules and cancels in the Nookal diary. Nookal's own directory also lists Heidi, PatientNotes and BookedSolid in its AI category. For UK Nookal clinics, Motics is the stronger fit because it is the verified option for both notes and diary booking, with UK data storage and a free plan.

Nookal and AI: what connects today
Nookal is an Australian-built practice management system used by allied-health clinics — physiotherapy, podiatry, osteopathy, chiropractic, psychology, and more — including a meaningful UK user base. Like Cliniko, it publishes a public integrations directory with a dedicated 'A.I. and Clinical Scribes' category, which is the right second source whenever an AI vendor claims Nookal support.
On the scribe side, Motics is our recommended option: it drafts physio-first SOAP notes, treatment plans and referral letters and files them to Nookal after clinician review. Preve (physio-specific, with a free tier) and CliniScribe (one-click SOAP notes, Australia-first) also integrate. Nookal's own directory additionally lists Heidi and PatientNotes in its A.I. category. That listing shows the integration exists, not necessarily that it is available in every region or on every plan, so confirm scope and UK availability with each vendor directly.
On the reception side, Motics Phone Agent answers calls 24/7 and books, reschedules and cancels appointments directly in the Nookal diary. That is the difference between an AI receptionist and an answering machine. Nookal's directory also lists BookedSolid in the same category. Ivy by Verbalise, a Cliniko-first receptionist, doesn't list Nookal support.
Which Motics plan fits
- Free (£0): 25 credits a month for Scribe and Chat, no card required. Around 1 Scribe note or 10 chats a day.
- Starter (£19 a month): 110 credits for a solo clinician, around 5 Scribe notes or 50 chats a day. No contract.
- Team (from £98 a month: £49 per clinician, minimum two): 352 credits per clinician. Adds the Phone, Email and Billing agents, unlimited users and one shared clinic credit pool.
- Scale (from £290 a month: £145 per clinician, minimum two): 1,320 credits per clinician. Adds the Audit agent and compliance workflows, clinic usage analytics, priority support and guided onboarding.
- Enterprise (custom pricing): for multi-site groups, with SSO and advanced roles, procurement and security review.
What the comparison shows: Motics is the verified option on this page that both files notes into Nookal and books into the Nookal diary, and it stores patient data in the UK. Scribe, Phone, Email and Billing draw on one shared credit pool, Team and Scale include unlimited users with no per-seat fees, and the same platform also integrates with Cliniko and Meddbase. Start on the free plan, or size your clinic with the calculator on the pricing page (prices exclude VAT).
How we chose
Integrations on this page were verified on 10 June 2026 against vendors' own documentation and Nookal's public integrations directory; where our only evidence is the directory listing, we say so and recommend confirming scope with the vendor. Pricing was read from vendors' public pricing pages where published.
Motics is our product. Its Nookal integration is documented at motics.ai; it is not yet listed in Nookal's own directory, which is why we point you at both sources. Nookal is a product of its respective owner; Motics is an independent integration partner, not affiliated with or endorsed by Nookal.
Frequently asked questions
Which AI scribes integrate with Nookal?
Verified in June 2026: Motics (files physio-first notes to Nookal after clinician review, with UK data storage; also integrates Cliniko and Meddbase), Preve (physio-specific, free tier; also Cliniko, PracSuite and Jane) and CliniScribe (one-click SOAP notes; also Cliniko). Nookal's own integrations directory additionally lists Heidi and PatientNotes in its 'A.I. and Clinical Scribes' category; confirm regional availability and plan requirements with those vendors directly. Motics is our recommendation because the same Nookal connection also powers its Phone Agent.
Can an AI receptionist book appointments directly into Nookal?
Yes. Motics Phone Agent answers calls 24/7 and books, reschedules and cancels appointments directly in the Nookal diary, passing complex calls to your team with a structured message. It is included from the Team plan (from £98 a month: £49 per clinician, minimum two), and calls use 3 credits a minute from the shared clinic pool. Nookal's directory also lists BookedSolid in its A.I. category; Ivy by Verbalise doesn't list Nookal support.
Does Heidi work with Nookal?
Heidi appears in Nookal's own integrations directory under 'A.I. and Clinical Scribes', which is Nookal-side evidence the integration exists. Before relying on it, confirm two things with Heidi directly: whether the Nookal integration is available in your region, and which plan it requires — for comparison, Heidi's Cliniko integration (a separate integration) is on its Practice and Enterprise plans only, so scope varies by PMS and plan.
How do AI tools connect to Nookal technically?
Via Nookal's API: you generate credentials inside Nookal and authorise the AI tool, which then reads the diary and writes notes or bookings within the access you've granted. Practical checks: generate credentials from an account with sufficient permissions, record the connection in your data-protection documentation (the vendor becomes a processor of patient data), and test the round trip — a note filed to the right patient, a booking landing in the right diary column — before going live.
What should a UK clinic on Nookal check before connecting an AI tool?
The same five checks as any clinic AI, plus one Nookal-specific point. The five: patient consent (for ambient recording), data residency (UK/EU vs US/Australia — it varies widely across the tools on this page), a signed data processing agreement, no AI training on patient data, and mandatory clinician review before output enters the record. The Nookal-specific point: your PMS and your AI tool are separate processors in your DPIA — document both.
What if the AI tool I want doesn't integrate with Nookal?
You can still use it with a copy-paste workflow (generate the note in the tool, paste it into Nookal), which keeps most of the drafting time saving but adds a per-patient step and a second place where patient data lives, so cover it in your DPIA. Before settling for that, ask the vendor two precise questions: 'is a Nookal integration generally available today?' and 'does it write into Nookal, or export for copy-paste?'. Motics Scribe and Phone Agent connect to Nookal natively today, and you can test the Scribe on the free plan.
