Looking for a ScopeAR alternative?
ScopeAR splits the job across two products β WorkLink for hand-built, CAD-driven AR procedures and Remote AR for live expert video calls β both running through the cloud. ARSY AI collapses that into one on-premise spatial agent: point it at your existing manuals and it authors positioned AR guidance itself, recognizes the real part without a CAD model, and keeps every byte on your own hardware.
Why Teams Are Moving Beyond ScopeAR
Every WorkLink procedure is assembled by hand, step by step, before a worker ever sees it β ARSY's agent reads your existing documentation and produces the AR guidance on demand, so there is no authoring backlog to maintain
WorkLink leans on imported CAD models to anchor and align content β ARSY's onboard vision (VLM plus YOLO) identifies the actual equipment in front of the worker, so you can cover machines you have no CAD for
ScopeAR ships no proprietary indoor positioning β ARSY adds markerless VPS that locks to sub-5cm from a plain phone scan, with 1-5ms relocalization over your LAN, no QR tags or beacons
Getting an answer through Remote AR means a remote expert is free and the connection holds β ARSY answers autonomously on the device, and folds in built-in AR video calling only when a human is actually needed
WorkLink and Remote AR are cloud services billed per seat β ARSY runs fully offline, priced per site and per covered machine, so scaling from 10 to 10,000 operators changes nothing on the invoice
Feature-by-Feature Comparison
| Feature | Competitor | ARSY AI |
|---|---|---|
| How guidance is built | Hand-authored step-by-step in WorkLink | Agent writes AR guidance from your manuals in real time |
| CAD dependency | Imports CAD models to align content | Vision recognizes the real part; no CAD needed |
| Object recognition | Marker- and CAD-model-based tracking | VLM + YOLO detect equipment as-is |
| Indoor positioning | Markerless VPS, sub-5cm from a phone scan | |
| Relocalization speed | Not applicable | 1-5ms on-premise over LAN |
| On-device AI agent | Autonomous spatial agent with speech, sight and reasoning | |
| Remote expert support | Remote AR β a separate live-video product | AR video conferencing built into the same app |
| Works without a live expert | No β Remote AR needs a person on the call | Yes β the agent answers on its own |
| Hosting model | WorkLink cloud | Runs entirely on your own server, offline |
| Where data lives | ScopeAR cloud tenant | Stays on your infrastructure, nothing leaves |
| Keeping content current | Re-author the procedure by hand | Agent re-derives guidance as documents change |
| Scene structure | Fixed authored step sequences | ECS assembles scenes from reusable parts on the fly |
| Multi-agent & tooling | Parallel agents wired to external tools via MCP | |
| Language model choice | No LLM | Local model offline, or Claude / GPT / any model online |
| Training & certification | Authored instructions only | Component-based courses and exams with live course-to-agent hand-off |
| Headsets & devices | HoloLens, tablets, phones | XREAL and Rokid glasses, plus phones and tablets |
| Pricing basis | Per-seat enterprise licensing | From US$252/mo per site + per machine; operators never counted |
| Time to go live | Weeks of authoring per procedure | Deployed in 30 days |
Why Teams Choose ARSY AI
Generated, not hand-authored
WorkLink is no-code, but someone still builds every procedure step by step before a worker ever sees it. ARSY reads your existing manuals and generates positioned AR guidance on the fly, with no authoring project to maintain.
Markerless VPS from a scan
ScopeAR leans on CAD imports and markers to pin content and ships no positioning system of its own. ARSY locates the worker to sub-5cm from a single smartphone scan, resolving in 1-5 ms on your on-premise server.
On-device equipment recognition
A ScopeAR headset shows steps but does not understand what it is pointed at. ARSY runs an onboard VLM plus YOLO that identify parts and equipment states, so guidance reacts to the real machine in front of the worker.
Everything on your servers
WorkLink and Remote AR are cloud services, so procedures and support video leave the plant. ARSY keeps 100% of data and compute on-premise and runs with no internet connection at all.
Help without waiting for experts
ScopeAR's Remote AR only helps when a specialist is free to take the call. ARSY resolves questions autonomously first and adds built-in AR video conferencing for the rare case a human is genuinely needed.
Open agents and MCP tools
ScopeAR is a single closed cloud suite. ARSY orchestrates multiple agents over MCP tool calling and swaps a local offline LLM for Claude or GPT, wiring straight into your ERP and CMMS.
