One cloud workspace for your whole project team. No specialists, no workstations, no PDFs. Describe what you need — Tom handles the rest.
Engineering and construction teams generate hundreds of gigabytes of site data. Most of it is lost to a specialist toolchain that's too expensive, too slow, and too opaque to scale.
Four desktop apps, three specialists, and a GPU workstation per seat — just to process and deliver spatial data that your project team still can't query.
Your data ends as a PDF nobody can interrogate. The PM can't query it. The client can't interact with it. The work has no second life after the report is signed.
Field data piles up faster than the pipeline can move it. Hand-offs between specialists eat weeks. Every delay costs schedule, margin, and decision quality.
GroundControl collapses all of it into one workspace.
Platform
Processing
Drop your drone imagery into Ground Control. Cloud pipelines handle the heavy work — point clouds, orthophotos, elevation models — without a GPU workstation or specialist in the loop. Field teams upload. Project teams get answers.
3D Viewer
Explore processed data in 3D, share a live link with your client, and never attach a file to an email again. Engineers measure. PMs annotate. Clients review deliverables without a license, a download, or a training session.
Tom · Embedded Agent
Tom is Ground Control's embedded agent. Tell him what you're trying to do in plain English — classify ground points, remove noise, run a volume calculation. He plans the workflow, explains every step, and executes on your approval. No specialist training required.
Analysis
Draw-to-measure cut/fill volumes against reference planes or design surfaces. Compare survey dates to track site progress over time. Export annotated reports with orthophotos, cross-sections, and volume tables — client-ready, no manual formatting.
API-First
Full REST + WebSocket API — every action in the platform is also available programmatically. Connect Ground Control into your GIS, BIM, or data workflows. Automate processing, trigger pipelines, and stream results at scale.

Meet Tom
Tom collapses a decade of specialist training into a conversation. Describe what you want in plain English. Tom plans it, shows you every step, and executes on your approval — every action logged and transparent.
Tell Tom what your project needs. He plans the processing workflow, explains what each step does, and runs it with your approval. The whole team gets the outputs — no specialist bottleneck, no manual hand-offs.
Tell Tom what you're trying to do. He translates your intent into the right processing steps, explains each one in plain language, and runs the workflow on your approval — no specialist training required.
Tom knows what you're looking at. Ask a question about your current view — active layers, coloring mode, selected output — and he answers in context, grounded in your actual data, never in guesswork.
Tom acts with your permissions, not instead of you. Every tool call is visible. Consequential actions — saving workflows, running processing jobs — require explicit approval before anything executes.
Every action Tom takes is logged. Every answer cites your product docs and project data — not model training. Your team always knows what ran, when, and why.
Ground Control is launching soon. Engineering and construction firms in our founding cohort get early access, priority onboarding, and direct input on the roadmap.
