# sikka.ai — Self-Driving Practice > sikka.ai is the self-driving front office for dental practices. The flagship product, Self-Driving Practice (SDP), is an autonomous AI front office that fills schedules, verifies insurance, files clean claims, and collects payments — automatically, with safety modes that let practices preview every action before it goes live. ## About sikka.ai sikka.ai (Sikka Software Corporation) builds AI infrastructure for retail healthcare. The company has been operating for 25+ years and has assembled the largest dental dataset in the industry: 188M+ patients, 47K+ practices, and 400+ Practice Management System (PMS) integrations including Dentrix, Eaglesoft, Open Dental, and Curve Dental. ## Self-Driving Practice (SDP) SDP is an AI orchestration layer that coordinates 20+ practice workflows from one system instead of stitching together disconnected point tools. Capabilities span: - Smart Scheduling (gap detection, recall, reactivation, controlled auto-booking) - PatientsNow campaigns and growth console for new-patient acquisition - Insurance verification, estimates, treatment plan readiness, claim validation - Payments, statements, Text2Pay, Email2Pay, balances, RCM tasks - DentalLLM Copilot (purpose-trained dental large language model) - Reputation management, sentiment analysis, reviews, patient communication ## Safety modes SDP runs in four governed safety modes — practices can move at their own pace: - **Off** — sikka.ai data and dashboards only; no autonomous action. - **Recommendation** — SDP surfaces prioritized next-best actions and draft responses for team review. - **Simulation** — SDP previews messages, schedule moves, eligibility checks, claims, and payments internally only (nothing goes live). - **Full Self-Driving** — SDP executes approved actions within guardrails, routing exceptions to the right human queue. Every action is HIPAA-compliant, audit-logged, and pausable via an always-visible STOP control. A free 30-day trial covers Recommendation and Simulation modes; Full Self-Driving requires a paid subscription. ## Built for solo practices and DSOs For solo and small-group dentists (1–10 locations): single-practice tools across scheduling, insurance, payments, RCM, marketing, reputation, and AI copilot. For DSOs and multi-location operators (11–500+ locations): Enterprise Command Center with network dashboards, scope-aware permissions, central work queue orchestration, governed autonomy, audit logs, rollout waves, and per-location consoles. ## Key URLs - Homepage: https://sikka.ai/ - Self-Driving Practice: https://sikka.ai/SelfDrivingPractice - Marketplace: https://sikka.ai/Marketplace - ONE API overview: https://sikka.ai/oneapi - ONE API pricing: https://sikka.ai/api-packages - API documentation: https://apidocs.sikkasoft.com/ - API portal (login): https://api.sikkasoft.com/v4/portal - API status: https://apistatus.sikkasoft.com/ - About: https://sikka.ai/about-us - Team: https://sikka.ai/team - Careers: https://sikka.ai/careers - Contact: https://sikka.ai/contact-us ## Industries served Dental, Veterinary, Chiropractic, Optometry, Physician practices.
