TrainAR

AR training on smart glasses for UK trades businesses

Visit TrainAR

TrainAR is an augmented reality training platform for trade businesses that turns senior engineers' recorded jobs into step-by-step guidance for trainees working on real jobs. It addresses the bottleneck of on-the-job training by capturing how experienced engineers perform work and converting those recordings into procedures that learners can follow hands-free on smart glasses or a phone.

The platform includes Trainer mode and Trainee mode, live camera context, natural voice control, and searchable knowledge documents. It offers voice-driven forms, web search, SMS and email skills, and custom skills built on webhooks. Integrations cover field-service platforms such as ServiceM8, Jobber, Commusoft, Simpro, Payaca, BigChange and Powered Now, along with Parts Arena, Zapier, n8n, Twilio and Resend. A REST API, event webhooks and a tenant MCP server support custom development. Reporting covers sessions, users, minutes and tasks with CSV and API export.

TrainAR is aimed at trade business owners and their engineers. It is packaged as a free plan with a single seat and a one-off minute allowance, alongside paid per-seat monthly editions with increasing seat limits, monthly minute allowances and email support. Glasses are quoted separately.
