We can confirm that our international man of mystery, Darko, has been spotted scouting the venue ahead of … and frankly we’ve lost control of the situation.

If you hear Austin Powers music in the distance, follow it to Booth T28 and come say hello to the PerfectIt team.

“Nothing would make me trust an ocean-boiling plagiarism machine.”

That was one of our favourite quotes from the audience responses to the PerfectIt AI survey shared during today’s panel session at EMWA Spring Conference 2026. But the discussion that followed showed how the true story of AI use in medical writing is much more nuanced in reality than either this perspective or the huge AI claims that counter it.

Huge respect to the speakers:
• Julie McGowan (Bioscript)
• Matías Rey-Carrizo (BCN Medical Writing)
• Daniel Heuman (Intelligent Editing)

And especially to EMWA President Sarah Tilly for guiding such an engaging discussion so well.

A big thank you as well to the audience, whose questions, comments, and experiences made the session feel open, balanced, and grounded in the realities of day-to-day medical writing work.
Really fascinating to hear the results of several surveys into real-world AI usage in medical writing, followed by such a lively and interesting discussion.

Wildcards are brilliant for targeted fixes.

PerfectIt is brilliant for systematic consistency.

Together, they’re one of the smartest editing workflows available.

Use wildcards to:
• fix patterns
• clean anomalies
• make custom changes fast

Use PerfectIt to:
• enforce style rules
• catch inconsistencies
• standardize documents at scale

Our new free ebook, Brave New Word, shows how to get more from both.

If you’re attending European Medical Writers Association (EMWA) Conference, this one’s worth catching:

Our CEO, Daniel Heuman, will be speaking on Thursday morning (7 May, 9am) as part of what looks set to be a lively panel discussion: “AI Theme: Real World Insights on AI and Medical Writing”

It’s a practical discussion about how AI is actually being used in medical writing, and what the concerns and implications are on the ground.

If you’re navigating AI in your own workflows, this is a really valuable session. Please do come along and join the discussion.

Most editors use Find and Replace in Microsoft Word.

Very few use wildcards, the feature that lets you search for patterns instead of single words.

That matters because wildcards can completely change how you edit.
Instead of fixing the same issue one by one, you can:
• Clean hundreds of inconsistencies in seconds
• Standardize patterns across long documents
• Remove repetitive manual corrections
• Solve problems regular Find and Replace can’t fix

We’ve just launched Brave New Word, a free guide to help editors use wildcards more effectively without the intimidation.

If you’ve ever thought “there must be a faster way to do this”, there is.

In high-stakes medical writing consistency isn't optional.

It’s what allows readers to navigate complex information clearly, it reduces distraction, and supports accuracy.

But the reality we’re hearing from teams is this:
• Content is increasing
• More contributors are involved
• Timelines are tighter
• AI-generated content is introducing new review challenges

As a result, consistency is becoming harder to control.

We’ll be at the European Medical Writers Association (EMWA) Conference next week talking about exactly this.

If you’re attending, come and find us. We’d love to compare notes.
