Your scheduling constraints, in plain English.
No more 40-field forms just to say a physician can't work Tuesdays. With Synchro, you write your constraints in natural language. The AI understands them, structures them, and Synchro applies them automatically to the schedule.
How natural-language constraints work
In their Synchro profile, each physician writes constraints the way they'd tell their manager:
"No on-call on Tuesdays. Free my Fridays in March, I'm at a conference. Max 2 walk-ins per week."
Synchro parses the text and converts it into structured constraints:
- Absence constraint: "Tuesdays" → no on-call on Tuesdays (recurring)
- Specific-date absence: "Fridays in March" → no assignment on March Fridays 2026
- Quota constraint: "max 2 walk-ins per week" → upper limit configured
The physician confirms that the AI got it right, then the constraints flow into the schedule. Every assignment will respect these rules.
Why it's a differentiator
No other medical scheduling software does this. Competing tools rely on structured forms: you tick boxes, you select dropdowns, you fill fields. For a manager who has to enter constraints for 30 physicians, that's 30 forms × 15 minutes = 7.5 hours.
With Synchro, each physician enters their own constraints in 2 minutes, in natural language. The manager validates. Everything's ready for future scheduling runs.
Concrete examples
"I'm on vacation from July 3 to 17."
"My son starts school in September, no on-call after 6pm on weekdays for the first 2 weeks."
"I can't take weekend on-call shifts before June 1 (continuing education)."
Every sentence becomes a structured constraint. No form to fill out. No Excel row to maintain.
