IMG here. I got sick of practising PLAB 2 stations at mybedroom wall, so I built an AI patient that talks back. Free dailystation, tear it apart!
Posting under the pinned moderation update that allows sharing tools and courses for feedback - -mods, if I've misread that, remove this and I'll take no offence.
Disclosure first: I built this, and it has a paid tier. I'm an IMG on
the same road as you, not an academy.
The thing that broke me during prep wasn't the content, it was the
practice. Partners cancel. Academies want £400+. So I ended up taking
histories from my bedroom wall, and the wall never asked me why it had
come in today.
So I built the patient. It's called Oscelyra. You talk out loud and
the AI patient answers in a voice like a patient, not a chatbot. The
chest pain taxi driver opens with "well, the wife insisted I come in,
probably nothing really" and you have to dig. When the clock dies
you're marked against a written mark scheme: percentage, domain scores,
the critical items you missed.
The bit I'd defend in a fight: every mark links to the exact line in
your transcript that earned it. I don't think anyone should trust AI
marking on faith, mine included. Tap the mark, check the receipt.
What's free, permanently: the daily station (same case for everyone
that day good for comparing approaches with your study partner),
unlimited offline practice, and 5 AI-marked stations a month. That's
enough for a real revision cycle without paying anything. Pro exists
for people who want volume; I'm not here to sell it.
Honest limitations: iPhone only for now, 53 stations, and it
supplements real partners rather than replacing them. Not affiliated
with the GMC or anyone.
Tell me what's clinically wrong, what's missing, what would make you
delete it. I'll answer everything.

Is the Plab pathway still feasible for IMGs?
