Title:
PharmaGuide Omnichannel AI Intake Agent: End-to-End Automation of Prescription Document Capture, Data Entry, and Transaction Fulfillment
Agreement Number:
1044240
Agreement Value:
$400,000.00
Agreement Date:
Jun 1, 2026 - Mar 29, 2027
Description:
PharmaGuide is developing an end-to-end Al intake agent that ingests prescription-related documents from every channel pharmacies use today - fax, email, SMS, voicemail, and direct upload - and parses, validates, enters, and processes them through to transaction fulfillment. Using contextual Al techniques (patient and prescriber lookup, trend detection, and template memorization), the system is designed to replace manual data-entry work at high-volume pharmacies and enterprise chains with a single autonomous workflow. The project will develop and validate the agent through controlled experiments in sandbox environments, measuring channel coverage, parsing accuracy, end-to-end automation rate, and time-to-entry against current manual baselines.
