What is Aryeo?
Aryeo is tightening scheduling so real estate media teams drive less and book more.
Aryeo's latest feature, Suggested Appointments, offers customers time slots close to a team's existing jobs to cut travel downtime. Earlier in the year it previewed a rebuilt listings flow with team availability, added an AutoHDR editing integration and customer-choice tracking.
What is Arcade?
Arcade's AI video tool now works inside Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini via MCP.
Arcade's releases are almost all about AI video. The November release adds an Arcade MCP so users can create and edit videos from Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and other assistants, with credit costs shown in the chat. It also adds 60 native voices in 15 more languages and one-click variations of a single video. In October, AI video got its own home and users could pick the model behind each video.

◆ Current state
Aryeo's latest feature, Suggested Appointments, offers customers time slots close to a team's existing jobs to cut travel downtime. Earlier in the year it previewed a rebuilt listings flow with team availability, added an AutoHDR editing integration and customer-choice tracking.
◆ Where it's heading
Releases cluster around the operations of a real estate photography business: routing, scheduling, ordering and editing hand-offs. Release cadence has slowed since summer.
◆ Prediction
The rebuilt listings experience from early access is the most likely next general release.
Arcade
6.3MARKETING
Arcade's AI video tool now works inside Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini via MCP.
◆ Current state
Arcade's releases are almost all about AI video. The November release adds an Arcade MCP so users can create and edit videos from Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and other assistants, with credit costs shown in the chat. It also adds 60 native voices in 15 more languages and one-click variations of a single video. In October, AI video got its own home and users could pick the model behind each video.
◆ Where it's heading
Arcade spent the autumn turning its editor into an AI video studio, with style references, curated scenes and model choice. It is now taking that studio into the assistants people already use, and charging per edit in credits. Localisation and variations push it toward producing many versions of one video for different audiences.
◆ Prediction
Expect more agent-facing work, such as deeper MCP actions or usage-based pricing detail, since the MCP launch already exposes credit costs per edit.
