This.  OpenEvidence is actually excellent at coming up with differential diagnoses for a long nonsensical list of symptoms that a patient comes in with.  It helps me check my bias.  I will see a patient, listen to them, then do my physical exam and ask some pertinent follow up questions, and I've had an idea as to what the problem is from the first 2 minutes of the visit usually.  And I'm still usually right.  But I do often plug it all into OpenEvidence at the end of the day if a patient seemed a little complex or unusual, and see what they come up with.  Sometimes they point me towards ideas that I hadn't truly considered, and it has occasionally made me change my plan of care to include workup for some additional stuff.  It's also very easy just from a quick fact check perspective to ask it "what's the current treatment recommendation for Early Disseminated Lyme for a 6 year old" because it spits out the Red Book recommendation without me having to go and find the Red Book, or without me having to log into UpToDate and search through the article on Lyme treatment.  It gives the same information, from reliable medical sources (like UpToDate does), but it takes me 10 seconds as opposed to 120 seconds.  This seems stupid to anyone who isn't a physican/NP/PA in urgent care/ primary care/ fast track ER, but anyone who is, knows exactly how nice it is to shave 2 minutes off of a patient encounter.
