About
OpalAI (Opal NexAI Inc.) is a Spatial AI company delivering a comprehensive suite of AI-powered tools designed for enterprise and government use across PropTech, InsurTech, Space Tech, and Transport Tech industries. Its core offerings include FireVision, an advanced wildfire intelligence system that converts complex geospatial and satellite data into actionable risk insights for fire agencies, utilities, and insurers; Urbanomy, which enables city-wide infrastructure management by detecting potholes, monitoring road health, and evaluating sidewalk accessibility; Astro Adjuster, which uses Vision Language Models (VLMs) to compress video analysis workflows from hours to minutes for insurance claim assessments; Scan to BIM, which transforms LiDAR or 360° camera point cloud data into detailed Building Information Models in three simple steps; and ScanTo3D, a mobile app that generates 2D and 3D CAD models in real time without bulky scanning hardware. Underlying technologies include 3D Mapping, LLaVa, 3D Deep Learning, 3D Scene Understanding, and 3D Reconstruction. OpalAI has received over $1 million in NASA SBIR Phase I & II funding for FireVision and has been validated by the National Science Foundation. The platform is purpose-built for organizations that need to scale spatial data processing, reduce turnaround times, and derive smarter decisions from complex environmental and physical datasets.
Key Features
- FireVision Wildfire Intelligence: Converts complex geospatial, satellite, and SAR imagery into actionable wildfire risk assessments for fire agencies, utilities, and insurers.
- Scan to BIM: Generates detailed Building Information Models from LiDAR or 360° camera point cloud data in three simple steps, reducing project turnaround from weeks to days.
- ScanTo3D Mobile App: Enables users to instantly create 2D and 3D CAD models in real time using a smartphone, eliminating the need for bulky LiDAR hardware.
- Urbanomy City Infrastructure Analytics: Performs scalable, city-wide infrastructure management by detecting potholes, monitoring road health, and evaluating sidewalk accessibility using AI.
- Astro Adjuster Video Analysis: Leverages Vision Language Models (VLMs) to reduce insurance and claims video analysis from hours to minutes, delivering detailed assessments automatically.
Use Cases
- Fire agencies and utilities using FireVision to assess wildfire risk from satellite and geospatial data and improve disaster response planning.
- Insurance companies deploying Astro Adjuster to automate video-based claims assessments, cutting analysis time from hours to minutes.
- Real estate developers and architects using Scan to BIM to convert LiDAR scans into precise Building Information Models in days rather than weeks.
- City transportation departments leveraging Urbanomy to perform scalable infrastructure audits, detecting potholes and evaluating road and sidewalk conditions across entire urban areas.
- PropTech companies and field professionals using the ScanTo3D mobile app to instantly capture 2D and 3D CAD models of properties on-site without specialized scanning equipment.
Pros
- NASA & NSF Validated: Awarded over $1M in NASA SBIR funding and backed by the National Science Foundation, providing strong credibility for enterprise and government adoption.
- Dramatic Time Savings: Customers report turnaround reductions from months to days — for example, generating floorplans in 2 days versus a typical one-month timeline.
- Broad Industry Coverage: A single platform serves PropTech, InsurTech, Space Tech, and Transport Tech use cases, reducing the need for multiple vendor solutions.
- Hardware-Flexible Workflows: Works with existing LiDAR scanners or 360° cameras, and also offers a mobile app alternative, making it accessible across different resource levels.
Cons
- No Transparent Pricing: Pricing is not publicly listed; access requires requesting a demo, making it difficult for smaller organizations to assess cost fit quickly.
- US-Focused Availability: The platform is currently designed for commercial and government use in the United States, limiting international applicability.
- Enterprise Complexity: The breadth of specialized tools (BIM, wildfire, infrastructure, claims) may require significant onboarding and integration effort for new customers.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is OpalAI and what does it do?
OpalAI is a Spatial AI platform that transforms LiDAR scans, satellite imagery, 360° camera data, and video recordings into structured, actionable insights. It offers specialized tools for wildfire intelligence, BIM generation, city infrastructure management, 3D scanning, and insurance claims analysis.
What is FireVision?
FireVision is OpalAI's AI-powered wildfire intelligence product. It processes complex geospatial and satellite data to deliver actionable risk insights for fire agencies, utilities, and insurance companies, and has received over $1 million in NASA SBIR funding.
How does Scan to BIM work?
Scan to BIM allows users to upload their LiDAR or 360° camera point cloud data, which OpalAI's AI then processes into a detailed Building Information Model (BIM) in three simple steps — significantly faster than traditional manual modeling workflows.
Do I need special hardware to use OpalAI?
Not necessarily. While OpalAI supports existing LiDAR scanners and 360° cameras, it also offers the ScanTo3D mobile app, which allows users to capture and generate 2D and 3D CAD models directly from a smartphone in real time.
Who is OpalAI designed for?
OpalAI is built for enterprise and government clients in the United States, including fire agencies, utility companies, insurers, real estate developers, city planners, and space tech organizations that need to derive intelligence from spatial and visual data at scale.
