Microsoft is sunsetting HoloLens. Every D365 Guides investment — content, training, hardware — hits a wall in December 2026. skillia.AI gives you a better path forward: hands-free smart glasses, AI-generated SOPs, and something HoloLens never had — proof your workers can actually do the job.
You invested in HoloLens hardware, authored D365 Guides, trained your team on AR workflows. Microsoft just put an expiration date on all of it.
| D365 Guides + HoloLens ⚰️ | skillia.AI + Meta Glasses ✅ | |
|---|---|---|
| Hardware Cost | $3,500 per headset | $299 per pair of glasses |
| Content Creation | Weeks of 3D authoring per guide | Expert records video → AI generates SOP in 90 seconds |
| Hands-Free | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes — Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses |
| Competency Verification | ❌ None — tells workers what to do, can't verify they learned it | ✅ AI scores every step with timestamped video evidence |
| Step-by-Step Guidance | ✅ Holographic overlays | ✅ Voice-guided instructions through glasses (POC in development) |
| Platform Support | ⚠️ Discontinued Dec 2026 | ✅ Web + iOS + Android + Azure Marketplace + Google Play |
| Microsoft Ecosystem | D365 native (sunsetting) | Azure Marketplace + D365 PFE integration |
| Training Approach | Tell — holographic instructions | Show — workers demonstrate, AI verifies |
D365 Guides told workers what to do. That's passive consumption. skillia.AI flips the model: workers show they can do it, and AI proves it.
Your expert puts on Ray-Ban Meta glasses and performs the procedure. First-person video, both hands on the task, no interruptions. Done in minutes, not weeks.
AI creates a structured, step-by-step work instruction in 90 seconds. Expert reviews and approves. The SOP is the ground truth — AI never overrides it.
Trainee performs the same procedure on video. AI compares every step against the expert standard. Timestamped evidence. Audit-ready scoring.
Strengths, areas for improvement, actionable recommendations — automatically generated. Not just "trained" but proven competent.
Your D365 Guides content lives in Dataverse. We help you transition — not start from scratch.
We review your existing Guides library — how many guides, complexity, content types. You get a clear migration roadmap.
Your expert performs each procedure wearing Ray-Ban Meta glasses. 5 minutes per procedure. AI generates the new work instruction instantly.
Experts approve the AI-generated SOPs. Start running assessments immediately. Full competency tracking from day one.
This isn't a concept. These assessments were recorded using Meta smart glasses and scored by AI.
Expert recorded full installation wearing Meta glasses. AI generated a multi-step work instruction. Trainee attempted it — scored 50%. Missed torque wrench calibration and two safety-critical fasteners. Caught in 60 seconds.
27-step procedure. AI scored each step with timestamped evidence and quality feedback. Step 2: "Video cuts from body fitting to stem movement at 0:13. Snap ring removal not shown." Score: 6.5/10.
Tell us about your D365 Guides setup. We'll send you a migration roadmap — how many guides you have, what the transition looks like, and how fast you can be up and running on skillia.AI.
No commitment. No sales pitch. Just a clear picture of your migration path.
