Artificial Intelligence
for geology and mining

An AI assistant that knows every tool and every layer of your data. It assists you through the whole workflow: spectral analysis, prospectivity, geological mapping, terrain modeling, InSAR. Step by step, in plain language.

Terracroma at a glance

An AI-orchestrated geospatial platform for geology, mining, and site monitoring.

One intelligent workspace · four operational layers. AI, remote sensing, geology, terrain, InSAR, documents, camera analytics and occupational safety — accessed through a single conversational layer.

Section 0 · The problem

From fragmented geo-data
to actionable decisions.

Teams in mining, geology, infrastructure and environment do not lack data — they lack a way to combine it. Today, every decision still requires manually stitching together a long list of technical sources.

THE INPUTS

The technical layers a single decision typically touches — each in a different format, tool, and silo:

Satellite imagery Spectral indices Geological maps Deposit databases Terrain models InSAR displacement Field instrumentation Camera feeds Reports & drilling logs GIS outputs

The real question

It isn't "we need another map". It is: How do we turn many technical data sources into fast, explainable decisions?

That's the gap TerraCroma closes — one workspace, one conversational layer, every source connected.

01

Block 01 · Orchestration layer

AI Assistant

The conversational control surface. Operates every other block on your behalf — chains tools, runs workflows, explains results in plain language, with an optional self-hosted deployment over your private corpus.

AI Assistant

A conversational AI assistant for the entire geo workflow.

Knows every tool. Knows your data. Helps at every step. Describe what you want. "map iron oxide alteration around this district, find every fault within 5 km, rank the overlap", and the assistant picks the right tools, sequences them, and merges their outputs into a single answer.

Assistant demo

Conversational analysis

Describe what you want to see. The assistant runs the workflow for you.

Multi-step assistant

Multi-step reasoning

One conversation chains shapes, indices, deposit queries and report generation.

Document context

Bring your documents

Drop in drilling logs, field notes or geological sketches. They become part of the conversation.

Tool orchestration, not chat

Spectral indices, geometry, prospectivity, deposit queries, cross-sections, map captures, chained into a single workflow from one prompt.

Persistent conversations

Every session is saved with full context: viewport, active study, layers loaded, so you can pick up exactly where you left off.

Multi-modal input

Drop in an outcrop photo, a drilling log or a geological sketch. The assistant reasons over imagery and text together.

Pluggable LLM backbone

Frontier models behind the scenes. Swap providers without changing the workflow.

Multi-step reasoning

From one instruction to a complete geospatial workflow.

Tell the assistant what you want. It picks the right tools, sets parameters, runs them in the right order, and explains the result — all from a single natural-language prompt.

Example prompt

Geotechnics & Terrain Stability

Detect, classify and monitor terrain movement before it becomes a failure. Continuous centimeter-scale monitoring of dams, tailings, slopes and pit walls — backed by predictive AI trained on displacement time series, fused with field instrumentation.

Hazard Monitoring · InSAR

Catch hazardous movement before it becomes a failure.

Continuous centimeter-scale monitoring of dams, tailings facilities, slopes and pit walls. Predictive models trained on displacement time-series flag hazardous trends before they accelerate: turning incident response into prevention. Behind the scenes, the SBAS pipeline tunes to your site's geology and climate.

Cross-check satellite signals against ground-truth measurements, define multi-modal alert rules, and give operations one source of truth for the integrity of every dam, without replacing the systems you already trust.

Sensor integration

Piezometers, inclinometers, accelerometers, weather and water-level, via your existing SCADA / IoT stack.

InSAR + spectral overlay
