An ambient session captures patient-provider conversations and generates clinical notes in real-time. The SDK handles recording, note generation, and error handling automatically.

Manage sessions in two ways: uncontrolled mode where users interact only with SDK UI controls, or controlled mode where your EHR system controls when sessions start and stop through external triggers.
An ambient session captures patient-provider conversations and generates clinical notes in real-time. The SDK handles recording, note generation, and error handling automatically. To generate notes, you must configure sections that organize the content. Use either predefined note types or [LOINC codes](/documentation/concepts/ambient-clinical-notes/note-sections). The SDK creates notes from the conversation using these configured sections. LOINC code support is available in **version 2.0** and above. See the [note sections documentation](/documentation/concepts/ambient-clinical-notes/note-sections) for supported codes. For older versions, contact support to configure note types. ## Session management in Web SDK Manage ambient sessions in the Web SDK in two ways: Users interact only with SDK UI controls. The SDK manages the session lifecycle automatically. Your EHR system controls the session lifecycle (start, stop, resume) through external triggers. The SDK handles recording and note generation while your app controls when sessions start and stop. ## Ambient guides Create an ambient session and provide session context. Share one ambient note across Web SDK and other Suki ambient products. Lifecycle events and status flags for ambient sessions. Enable PBC and pass existing patient diagnoses. Use multiple languages in ambient sessions. How sessions behave during network interruptions. Continue existing notes and recover abandoned sessions. ## Available cookbooks
