Raising $70 million for its AI helper, Ambience Healthcare is led by Kleiner Perkins and OpenAI. The company focuses on creating an operating system for healthcare companies to assist physicians in finishing administrative work. It includes clinical activities associated with various outpatient medical services.

This Series B funding round is co-led by Kleiner Perkins and OpenAI's Startup Fund, with participation from Andreessen Horowitz and Optum Ventures.
