Comparison
A modern alternative
to Microsoft Copilot Studio
Curiosity builds tools on your whole industrial estate; Copilot Studio builds agents inside Microsoft 365.
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.
Microsoft Copilot Studio
Microsoft’s low code tool for building agents and extending Microsoft 365 Copilot, with connectors through the Power Platform and grounding in SharePoint, Teams and Dataverse. It runs in the Microsoft cloud and suits organizations standardized on Microsoft.
How Curiosity compares
Agents for the suite, or tools for the plant
If the knowledge an agent needs is in Microsoft 365, Copilot Studio is the shortest path to one. Industrial knowledge usually also lives in PLM, MES, ERP and maintenance systems, and that is where Studio starts.
Grounded, not guessed
A tool Studio builds runs on the graph, so every figure it shows traces back to a record in a source system.
Your permissions, inherited
A generated tool cannot show a user anything the source system would not already show them, down to the individual record.
From prompt to production
The tool ships to real users with an audit trail, not as a prototype someone has to rebuild before it goes live.
Runs on your infrastructure
On premises or in your private cloud, with the language model you choose.
