// What we do
An end-to-end agentic platform for critical minerals exploration.
We use advanced geophysics and proprietary AI models to discover, expand, and drill new mineral deposits — focused on gold, copper, and uranium. Built from first principles in physics and math; shipped as a single agentic system.
01 · Discover
Find new deposits at AI speed
Surface drillable targets that legacy workflows miss.
02 · Expand
Unlock value at known deposits
Find what's been missed under producing mines and historic discoveries.
03 · Drill
Surgical drilling programs
Precise plans that maximize signal per dollar.
// Careers
Help us redefine exploration from the ground up.
We're an early-stage, venture-backed team building an end-to-end agentic platform for critical minerals exploration. We hire builders who treat ambiguity as a feature, ship from first principles in physics and math, and would rather invent the tool than wait for it.

About Octavia
What does Octavia do?
Octavia is an AI-native critical minerals exploration company. We build an end-to-end agentic platform that uses advanced geophysics and proprietary AI models to discover new mineral deposits, expand known deposits, and design precise drilling programs — focused on gold, copper, and uranium.
What makes Octavia AI-native?
We were built from day one as an AI company that does exploration, not a mining company that adopted AI. Our core product is an agentic system: AI agents that plan, use tools, and run multi-step scientific workflows to interpret geophysical data and generate drillable targets.
Which minerals does Octavia focus on?
Gold, copper, and uranium — critical minerals essential to electrification, the energy transition, and national security. The global pipeline of new copper and uranium discoveries has been shrinking for two decades, and we use AI to make exploration tractable at scale.
Where is Octavia based?
Octavia is headquartered in Palo Alto, California. We are an early-stage, venture-backed company founded in 2024.
Is Octavia hiring?
Yes. We're hiring in Palo Alto across geophysics, AI/ML engineering, agentic systems, and field operations. See open roles.
Is Octavia related to other companies named Octavia?
No. Octavia (octaviatech.com) is an independent, venture-backed AI company focused on critical minerals exploration, headquartered in Palo Alto, California. We are not affiliated with similarly named companies in carbon capture, telecommunications, or mineral exploration elsewhere.
