The Scribe alternative for physical work
Scribe captures screen workflows. Skillia captures hands-on work and verifies whether people can actually perform it.
Not a Scribe teardown. A different evidence problem.
Two different evidence problems
Screen documentation and physical competency need different proof. Neither tool is a replacement for the other.
Scribe is excellent when the work happens on a screen
- click-by-click workflows
- browser processes
- software onboarding
- internal procedures
- AI-agent workflow context
Screenshots cannot prove someone can
- operate equipment correctly
- follow a hands-on procedure
- perform an inspection step
- assemble, repair, clean, calibrate, or maintain something
- execute standard work without coaching
If the workflow lives on a screen, Scribe is a great fit. If the skill lives in the real world, Skillia is built for that.
The Skillia workflow
Same idea as capturing a process. Different evidence at the end of it.
Record the expert doing the physical task
Phone or smart glasses, on the floor, as the work is actually performed.
Turn the demonstration into an SOP
Structured standard work your expert reviews and approves. That approved SOP is the ground truth.
Let the learner submit a real attempt
The learner performs the task and uploads their own video.
Use AI to compare the attempt against the standard
Step by step, with a score and a reason for each one.
Give managers evidence of competency gaps
Named steps that need coaching, not a completion percentage.

A real Skillia assessment of a ball valve disassembly. The trainee skipped six steps of bonnet removal. The assessment caught it.
Skill assessment Ball valve disassembly
Assessed 20 January 2026Step-by-step analysis
6 of 27 steps shownRemaining 21 steps assessed and scored in the full report. Timestamps reference the 4:20 trainee video.
Strengths
- Clear demonstration of match-marking and ball orientation marking.
- Correct use of slide hammer for bottom bonnet removal.
- Good use of PPE — gloves, helmet, glasses — throughout.
Areas for improvement
- Steps 9 through 14 are completely missing from the visual record.
- Step 2 (snap ring removal) is not observed.
- Step 8 (record torque) is not demonstrated.
- Step 24 (use soft strap) is not followed.
Recommendations
- Re-record the assessment with the bonnet removal performed on camera.
- Ensure the snap ring removal is clearly visible.
- Demonstrate torque measurement, not just loosening.
- Use the specified soft strap when lifting the ball.

Try it on one real task
Use Skillia for one real task before trying to roll out a giant training platform. Tell us the task and we will set up the pilot with you.
Got it
We will be in touch to set up your one-task pilot. If you named a task, we will tell you exactly how Skillia would assess it.
Keep Scribe for the screen. Use Skillia for the floor.
