Data Riders
About

The platform for your AI agents, with method and security.

Data Riders is a data and artificial intelligence company from Belo Horizonte. Started in 2018 with data for autonomous vehicles, it built its reputation in mining consulting, governance, and auditing, and today develops and operates tailored AI solutions for complex operations across any industry, guided by the same rule: AI accelerates, people decide.

2018Era 1

Autonomous vehicles and simulation

Data Riders began with sensor data processing to train autonomous vehicles. Fernando served as a Udacity mentor in autonomous driving and led Skoods, an open autonomous racing competition. This period established our operational rigor in systems engineering, sensor data, and real-time decision-making, including 3D mine layout simulations with autonomous haulage routes.

2019Era 2

Mining consulting, governance, and audit

Data rigor applied to mining: tailings dam governance, water stewardship, geotechnical oversight, TSM gap assessments, AI-assisted GISTM audits, and the launch of GISTM.ai in 2025. It represents the most demanding testing ground a data company can operate in.

2026Era 3

Applied AI for every sector

The same engineering rigor, now deployed across complex operations in any industry: AI-driven Double Diamond discovery, alongside specialized agents for cost engineering, commercial sales, retail, workplace safety, and logistics, all running on the Data Riders platform that powers our own operations.

PPT lens

People, processes and technology in every analysis.

Every cycle looks at the three parts at once, and an automatic report shows where they stand. The result only exists when they fit together.

People
The communication plan of every cycle: who takes part, each person's role, what they see and which notices they get.
Processes
Your processes, mapped from the Double Diamond and the meetings, and what the agent changes in each one.
Technology
Data Riders technology connected to yours: the integrations with your systems, each agent's main methods and governance.

In every cycle, the PPT report is written automatically from what the system already knows, and it stays in your client portal.

Team

A lean team with clear governance: technical, sales and customer success, operations and finance, and legal. AI agents work alongside them, always with a designated person accountable.
