Who each tool is for
Different problems, honestly stated
Curiosity
For industrial and regulated teams whose knowledge sits in engineering systems and structured records, where the answer depends on how those records connect, and where the deployment has to run on their own infrastructure.
Gemini Enterprise
Google’s platform for enterprise search and AI agents, formerly Google Agentspace, connecting Google Workspace and business apps such as Salesforce and ServiceNow. It runs on Google Cloud.
How Curiosity compares
Where the boundary falls
Gemini Enterprise suits organizations already built on Google Cloud and Workspace. Curiosity is for teams whose knowledge sits in engineering systems and structured records, on infrastructure they control.
Built for the industrial estate
General assistants are tuned for cloud collaboration tools. Curiosity connects engineering systems, data lakes, network drives and proprietary sources.
Structured context, not a chat layer
The graph models entities and relationships, so answers reason over how records connect rather than over retrieved passages.
On your infrastructure
On premises or private cloud, with data residency you control and the model of your choice.
Side by side
Feature comparison
The same five questions, answered for both.
Deployment
Cloud or self-hosted, ready to use
Google Cloud
Data model
Managed context layer and knowledge graph
Search and agents over documents
Industrial fit
Built for industrial and enterprise teams
Horizontal, knowledge workers
Data reach
70+ systems connected, and yours through a connector you write
Workspace and SaaS apps
Residency
EU hosted, or entirely your own infrastructure
Google regions
Customization
What your team can change
Your own code, interface, data model and configuration. Gemini Enterprise as its own documentation described it in October 2026. Where it says Not available, the vendor documents no such capability.
Your own code
C# endpoints, AI tools and tasks, compiled in Studio
ADK code in five languages, hosted on Agent Runtime
Your own interface
Your own front end in C#, deployed from git
Custom front ends through REST and RPC APIs
Data model
Typed node and edge schemas you define
Data store schemas, auto detected or defined
Configuration as code
Every change committed to git, pushed to your remote
Not available
APIs and SDKs
REST API, C# and Python library, connector SDK
REST and RPC APIs, client libraries
AI integration
What AI can build and reach
Whether AI can build on it, who reviews the result, and which models it runs. Gemini Enterprise as its own documentation described it in October 2026.
AI that builds
Sudo drafts endpoints, tools, schemas and screens
Workflow Builder drafts agents from a description
Review before it applies
Every change a diff a person approves, in a sandbox
Live preview, draft state until you create it
Model choice
Any major provider, or an OpenAI compatible endpoint
Gemini models, ADK agents use Model Garden models
Models on your servers
Open weights on your servers, or air gapped
Not available
Assistant permissions
Built in tools search as the user, per record
Identity provider checks user access per document
Agent protocols
MCP server and an OpenAI compatible API
