This study presents the design, development, and user acceptance evaluation of ARSSO, an AI-powered Augmented Reality Smart Spatial Organization Assistant developed to help users maintain organized environments that support productivity, concentration, and overall well-being. Many existing organization tools provide generic recommendations that do not account for individual preferences or environmental conditions. To address this gap, ARSSO integrates Artificial Intelligence and Augmented Reality technologies to support spatial organization through AR scanning, chatbot assistance, personalized recommendations, and task management features. Prior to user testing, the prototype was reviewed by one content expert and two User Interface (UI design experts on usability, interface design, and interaction quality, and their feedback informed refinements before evaluation. User acceptance was then assessed through a mixed-method approach: 31 participants completed a questionnaire adapted from the USE Questionnaire, which measures general usability and satisfaction, and the BUS-15 scale, which targets chatbot-specific interaction quality, while 10 participants took part in a focus group discussion. The evaluation covered Perceived Usefulness, Perceived Ease of Use, User Satisfaction, and AI and AR Interaction Experience. Findings showed high user acceptance across all constructs, with Perceived Ease of Use recording the highest mean score (M = 4.36, SD = 0.76, 86.4% agreement), followed by AI and AR Interaction Experience (M = 4.12) and User Satisfaction (M = 4.08). Participants responded particularly positively to the AR scanning feature, personalized recommendations, and chatbot assistance. Unlike existing organization tools that offer static, generic guidance, ARSSO demonstrates the potential of combining AI-driven personalization, conversational chatbot support, and AR-based spatial visualization to deliver a more adaptive, context-aware approach to workspace organization, one that supports not just tidiness but the productivity and well-being it was designed to serve.
