GroundedAI turns underground complexity into 3D clarity helping cities and companies reduce risk, delays and costs.
Unforeseen ground conditions are the leading cause of delays and cost overruns in underground projects
From tunnels to mines, these hidden risks trigger delays and rework with billion-dollar impacts
Delays & Rework
Budget Overruns
Legal Disputes
Incomplete Data
It's not a data problem. It's a decision problem.
Geologists and Engineers
Manually compile field notes, photos, and sketches into daily reports
Reports saved in disconnected folders and documents
Maps and reports are time-consuming to compile and difficult to compare
Dependence on crash-prone desktop software with limited licenses
Critical updates buried in scattered email threads
Baseline vs. encountered conditions compared manually, if at all
Experienced by

- Geotechnical Engineers
- Tunnel Engineers
- Technicians
- Miners
Project & Technical Management
Reports arrive inconsistently, often after planning deadlines
Data is siloed and reviewed retroactively with limited trend visibility
Delays in accessing monthly or quarterly aggregated reports
No automated alerts when conditions deviate from plan

What is GroundedAI?
The first full-stack mapping and cloud-based reporting platform for mines, subways, and tunnels — built to reduce risk and reclaim value.
Annotate geological and geotechnical features directly on 2D and 3D data using simple visual tools
Send simplified .pdf and .xlsx reports, transfer all 3D and 2D mapped data, attributes, and structural discs into industry-leading software
Shelby Yee, CEO
“Mining and tunnelling are no longer data-poor industries. The winners will be those who master the art of translating unruly datasets into actionable intelligence – delivering insights to the right person, at the right time, in the right format.”

We’re building the data layer for the world beneath us - powering resilient cities, safer tunnels and the energy transition
About GroundedAI
GroundedAI was founded after 8 years at the face of some of the world’s most challenging underground environments.
We saw firsthand how poor data and disconnected processes slow down progress and increase risk.
That’s why we started GroundedAI: a full-stack platform that enables insights,
not just data and can be adopted by any company along its digital adoption journey.
Whether it’s mapping ore bodies or de-risking tunnel projects, GroundedAI turns
complex 3D data into clear, objective decision-making from the field to the cloud.
