Relationships across systems, not just documents
Who each tool is for
Curiosity
For industrial teams that need structured context and on-premises control. Knowledge lives in engineering systems, structured records and regulated environments, and the answers have to reason over how those things connect.
Elastic Workplace
Elastic provides a flexible, developer centred search platform built on Elasticsearch, with vector search and strong indexing control. It suits engineering teams that want to design and run their own search layer. It is a toolkit rather than a finished product.
Elastic gives technical teams full control over a search stack they build and maintain. Curiosity gives you the whole context layer as one system, so you are not assembling and running the parts yourself.
A finished product, not a toolkit
With Elastic you build ingestion, relevance, security and the interface yourself. Curiosity ships connectors, search, the knowledge graph, security, UI and APIs together.
A context graph on top
Elastic retrieves and ranks content. Curiosity models entities and relationships into a context graph and hands that to the model.
Runs on your infrastructure
Both can run in your environment. Curiosity adds the context graph and the AI layer, and connects the language model you choose.
