Onboarding

Learn how to get started with Mineflow in a few simple steps.

1. Welcome Screen

Mineflow welcome screen

When you first sign up, you'll be greeted with our welcome screen that guides you through the onboarding process.

2. Project Setup

List of projects

We'll ask you to list all the projects you're working on. This is critical for us to properly organize your data, especially when dealing with UTM coordinates where we need to know the correct zone.

Project details

For each project, we collect information about what resources you're targeting (copper, gold, lithium, coal, etc.) and where the project is located. This helps us adjust our models accordingly and find relevant historical data and academic publications for your area.

3. File Upload

File upload interface

You have two options for uploading your files:

  • Upload files/folders manually
  • Share a Dropbox or Google Drive link (make sure to share the link with ryan@mineflow.ai so our AI agent can access the folder)

4. Summary

5. Processing

Data ingestion dialog

Click "Finish & Process Files" to start the indexing process. This can take anywhere from 10 minutes to 2 hours depending on the size of your dataset (some teams upload 3 files, others upload 50,000+ or 500GBs).

During this time, our system reads through all your files and folders, pulling out relevant components. For example, if it finds drill collar data in one file and then later discovers mineralization data from those same drill holes in a PDF, it organizes that information together for you.

Finally, the system assigns each file to one of your projects based on the location and content of the data.

Note: If your folder exceeds 500GBs, the system will only process the first 500GBs worth of files. In this case, please email ryan@mineflow.ai to discuss how to process your dataset as quickly as possible.
