Will AI Tools Like DocsGPT Drive the Next Leg of Growth for DOCS?

Doximity DOCS, long known as the “LinkedIn for doctors,” is betting big on artificial intelligence to accelerate growth after a strong fiscal 2025. DOCS has introduced tools like Doximity GPT, an AI assistant aimed at streamlining clinician workflows — from drafting referral letters to navigating documentation. This tool has helped the company with a 20% top-line expansion and a strong competitive position in its high-margin pharma marketing business.The company expects to grow at roughly twice the market rate.For investors, the key question is whether these AI-powered tools can continue to materially impact revenues or will simply enhance engagement without driving near-term monetization. On the recent earnings call, management emphasized strong adoption of Doximity GPT and workflow tools, but refrained from quantifying the revenue impact. This suggests that the initiative is still in its build-and-scale phase, rather than being an immediate growth lever.Importantly, DOCS’ monetization engine is still heavily reliant on pharma marketing dollars, which have faced cyclical softness. AI tools may help defend user engagement, deepen clinician stickiness, and eventually open new monetization paths, particularly in premium workflow subscriptions or value-added services for hospitals and payers.While AI is unlikely to deliver an overnight boost in revenues, it positions Doximity for a more durable and diversified growth trajectory over time. If adoption accelerates and DOCS can layer in monetization without alienating its physician base, investors could see margin expansion with renewed top-line momentum.For now, AI serves as a long-term catalyst rather than a short-term fix. However, with over 80% of U.S. physicians on the platform, DOCS is well-placed to capitalize if operational execution is carried out well.Few Competing AI ToolsSeveral other companies are also building AI tools to remain competitive in this era.
