# Welcome

Amigo is a healthcare AI platform built on a data foundation that absorbs messy, unreliable healthcare data from every source, cleans and unifies it, and makes it available to intelligent systems that act on it - the agent engine, EHR connectors, operator workflows, and automated analytics.

The core idea: healthcare data is garbage in, but it doesn't have to be garbage out. The [world model](https://docs.amigo.ai/data-and-integrations/world-model) scores every fact by confidence, verifies it through automated pipelines, and projects unified state that every system on the platform can trust. The agent engine, the connector runner, the safety monitors - they're all effective because the data underneath them is clean.

## Two Deployment Modes

**Classic API** - Text-based digital health. Chat agents, async voice notes, WebSocket streaming. Best for consumer-facing apps where patients interact through a screen.

**Platform API** - Enterprise healthcare operations. Multi-channel agents (voice, SMS, API) with EHR integration, operator escalation, and the event-sourced world model. Built for health systems running real patient volumes.

Most deployments use one or the other. Some use both: phone scheduling through the Platform API, patient chat through the Classic API.
