Curiosity and Mindbreeze InSpire
Search that respects rights, and then the graph
Curiosity adds a context graph to secure enterprise search.
Your data · your environment
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.
Mindbreeze InSpire
An enterprise search and AI product from Mindbreeze, in Linz, available as an on premises appliance or in the cloud, with many connectors and search that respects each source’s access rights. It is long established in European enterprises.
How Curiosity compares
Where the boundary falls
Mindbreeze and Curiosity share sovereignty and permission-aware search. Curiosity differs in modeling a typed context graph over structured records, and in building tools on top of it.
A context graph, not document search
Document retrieval ranks files. Curiosity models the entities and relationships in your data, so what a model reasons over is the connected structure.
Structured records, not just text
Industrial knowledge lives in part data, revisions and serial numbers as much as in documents. Flattening it to text discards the part that matters.
Your infrastructure, your model
Runs where your data lives, with the language model you choose rather than a bundled one.
Side by side
Feature comparison
The same five questions, answered for both.
Deployment
Cloud or self-hosted, ready to use
Appliance, on premises or cloud
Data model
Managed context layer and knowledge graph
Enterprise search that keeps source rights
Industrial fit
Built for industrial and enterprise teams
European enterprises
Data reach
70+ systems connected, and yours through a connector you write
Many source systems
Residency
EU hosted, or entirely your own infrastructure
Configurable
Customization
What your team can change
Your own code, interface, data model and configuration. Mindbreeze InSpire 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
Java SDK plugins, JavaScript transformers, on the appliance
Your own interface
Your own front end in C#, deployed from git
Insight App Designer, React library, embeddable Insight Apps
Data model
Typed node and edge schemas you define
Metadata properties from mappings and enrichment
Configuration as code
Every change committed to git, pushed to your remote
Snapshots versioned as files, deployed via CI/CD
APIs and SDKs
REST API, C# and Python library, connector SDK
REST, gRPC and Protobuf APIs, Java SDK
AI integration
What AI can build and reach
Whether AI can build on it, who reviews the result, and which models it runs. Mindbreeze InSpire as its own documentation described it in October 2026.
AI that builds
Sudo drafts endpoints, tools, schemas and screens
Touchpoint Generator agent composes app views from requests
Review before it applies
Every change a diff a person approves, in a sandbox
Not available
Model choice
Any major provider, or an OpenAI compatible endpoint
OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, or any OpenAI compatible endpoint
Models on your servers
Open weights on your servers, or air gapped
InSpire LLM runs open weights on GPU appliances
Assistant permissions
Built in tools search as the user, per record
Every agent call uses the requesting user's permissions
Agent protocols
MCP server and an OpenAI compatible API
MCP server and client, A2A, OpenAI compatible proxy
