Open Dental AI Integration
Open Dental AI agents from Bonfire support your dental practice, using your Open Dental context to organize appointments, prep treatment summaries, and flag follow-ups. They run locally on your own machine, keeping patient records on-device and under your control.

Open Dental — questions
Can Bonfire automate Open Dental?
Yes. Bonfire runs on your machine, holds your Open Dental credentials locally, and a connected model (Claude, GPT, Gemini or Grok) drives the Open Dental API to run the actions you ask for in chat.
Does my Open Dental data go to the cloud?
Bonfire runs on your desktop and keeps your keys local — it isn't a SaaS holding your data. Only the specific request you approve is sent to your chosen AI model.
Which AI models can I use?
Any connected model — Claude, GPT, Gemini or Grok. A fully offline Llama model runs locally for private reasoning but can't reach live APIs.
