Recognize what the object is, where its components are, and what state it is currently in — through the camera of a phone or tablet.
Physical intelligence · AI + spatial computing
An AI coworker
for the physical world.
Spatial PI is building software that looks at a machine, object, or workspace through a camera, understands what it is and what state it is in, guides the person in front of it step by step, and verifies that the work was done correctly.

Spatial PI
PI stands for physical intelligence.
Spatial PI helps people interact with, understand, and perform work in the real world using AI and spatial computing. Instead of reading a procedure on paper or a 2D screen and translating it onto the object in front of them, a person points a phone or tablet at the work — and the system does the translating.
Our first product is the Spatial PI app: guided, verified work on physical equipment, with instructions anchored to the real object.
Explore the productGuide
Place step-by-step 3D instructions directly on the physical object, and show exactly what the correct state looks like, in place.
Verify
Detect mistakes, confirm completed actions, and turn the work into a record — without a separate paper process afterwards.
Why it matters
Work instructions live on paper and 2D screens. The work does not.
For enterprises, the distance between the digital record and the physical task shows up as slower work, missed details, lost expertise, and records that describe the sign-off rather than the work.
The gap between the manual and the machine
SOPs, paper manuals, and PDF instructions describe the work from a distance. Every step has to be re-interpreted onto the real object, by every person, every time.
Expertise that leaves with the expert
The knowledge of experienced workers lives in their heads and hands. When they move on, the organization starts over.
Verification after the fact
Checks, sign-offs, and evidence are usually recorded separately from the work — so mistakes are found late, or not at all.
How it works
Navigate. Check. Teach. Perform. Verify.
One guided loop, anchored to the physical object. This is the workflow the Spatial PI app is built around.
Navigate
A spatial AR trail leads the person to the right machine, the right side, and the right component.
Check
Computer vision reads the current state of the asset before any instruction is given.
Teach
3D AR instructions appear on the physical object. When the state is wrong, a corrective 3D overlay shows exactly what correct looks like.
Perform
The person carries out the step with the instruction in view — hands on the task, not on a manual.
Verify
AI checks the completed action against the expected state, flags what still needs attention, and records the outcome.
Solutions
Built for the work that happens on the floor and in the field.
Spatial PI is designed for enterprise teams that maintain, inspect, assemble, train on, and service physical equipment — and for the organizations trying to keep that expertise.
Maintenance
Guide routine and corrective maintenance on the equipment itself, and verify each step before the job is closed.
Inspection
Locate each inspection point, assess its state visually, and connect the evidence to the record.
Training
Teach new workers on the real machine with 3D instructions and corrective feedback instead of slides.
Assembly
Show the next part, its position, and its correct state, then confirm the step before the next one begins.
Field service
Bring approved procedures and visual context to technicians working alone on unfamiliar equipment.
Knowledge capture
Turn the know-how of experienced workers into guided procedures the whole organization can reuse.
Technology
Not another AR app.
Overlaying content on a camera view is the easy part. Understanding what is in front of the camera — and whether it is right — is the hard part. Spatial PI is investing in proprietary spatial perception, 3D tracking, world modeling, and physical reasoning so that guidance can be trusted.

- 3D trackingKeeping instructions locked to the real component as the person and the device move.
- World modelingA persistent understanding of the asset and its surroundings: what belongs where.
- Physical reasoningDeciding whether a step is complete, what is wrong, and what correct should look like.
Frequently asked questions
The clear version.
01What is Spatial PI?+
Spatial PI is a physical intelligence startup. PI stands for physical intelligence: AI that can see the physical world, understand what is happening, guide people through real-world tasks, and verify that the work has been done correctly. Our first product is the Spatial PI app for guided, verified work on physical equipment.
02Is Spatial PI available today?+
Not generally. Spatial PI is in product development and is speaking with a limited number of industrial teams willing to help validate real operational problems. Capabilities described on this site are design intentions, not published performance.
03Which devices will it run on?+
The app is being designed for the phones and tablets teams already carry, with wearable devices as a future direction. No device compatibility has been formally announced; verified support will be published as it is validated.
04How is this different from AR work-instruction tools?+
Most AR tools deliver content: they show a step near the object. Spatial PI is built to understand the object — what it is, where its components are, and what state it is in — so it can detect mistakes, show the correct state in place, and verify the work. That understanding is the product; augmented reality is how it reaches the person.
05What does an early conversation look like?+
You describe one workflow that is difficult today — maintenance, inspection, training, assembly, or field service. We discuss whether guided, verified work could improve it, and whether a scoped evaluation makes sense. Spatial PI does not publish customer names or results, and none are implied on this site.
06What integrations, security options, and certifications are available?+
None have been formally announced. Verified compatibility, interfaces, deployment options, and security documentation will be published before relevant previews.
