& Bots

AI for healthcare practices, without the hype

A show and a consultancy, hosted by Dr. Mike Neal, OD

I am an optometrist who ran one of the highest margin eye care practices in the country, then built and sold companies that served hundreds of practices. Today AI agents run large parts of my businesses and my life: my marketing, my infrastructure, my inbox, my health. Every system I recommend to a doctor is one I run myself, and every claim you hear on the show has to survive the same test.

The podcast

Docs & Bots is conversations with the people actually running practices: owners and administrators who have put AI to work, vendors made to defend their promises in plain English, and solo episodes where I open up the playbooks from my own practice years and my own AI stack.

Season one arrives this fall. If you run a practice or a group and have a story worth telling, the guest chair is the best seat in the house.

How we work together

The AI Practice Cookbook

One AI recipe for your practice every weekday, fifteen minutes, dollars stated, plus a live hour with me every Thursday where nobody sees who else is on the call. You don't keep up. I do.

$197 a month, founding price locked for life

The Install

You pick three recipes. We install them in your practice, live in 30 days, with a kickoff and a readout with me. A year of the Cookbook included.

$5,000 once, live in 30 days or your money back

Two doors, no third. Everything is delivered from my laptop to yours. No travel, no on-site theater, no junior consultants.

Proof I live this

My personal assistant is an AI agent I built that texts me like a person, watches my sleep data, logs my meals from photos, and runs my day. My consumer software brands publish, index, and monitor their own marketing while I sleep. My CI infrastructure bill went from hundreds a month to almost zero because an agent rebuilt it.

None of that required a computer science degree. It required knowing what a practice owner actually needs done, which is the part I spent 20 years learning.
