Where this applies
The EMS software vendor says over 1,670 EMS agencies adopted its AI feature for drafting patient-care report narratives since May, resulting in up to 80% reduction in total documentation time. The vendor describing its own product with self-reported figures.
What this means
AI drafting of ambulance reports is sold widely in the US, by the vendor's count.
What it does not yet show
Self-reported vendor figures; 'up to' is the best case, not the average.
What you can check
Open ESO's press release of 25 June 2025 and find "up to 80% reduction in total documentation time".
Does it change the assessment?
No — and this stage does not move it either. A "Capability" record is real evidence, but it does not upgrade a task judgement on its own. The 1 linked judgement above stand where they were.

Product or template: ESO Auto-Generated Narrative
What the publisher gains from this: ESO sells patient-care reporting software to EMS agencies; reporting adoption and time saved supports its sales.
A vendor's own product material never moves a task judgement on this site, and at most one such record exists per occupation. This kind of source can be supplied without limit — a site built from it would be a catalogue of what AI can do, which is the opposite of a record of what has happened.
Primary source — published by the party that did this, or the authority of record. No co-signature needed.
