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.
Neo4j
Neo4j is the most widely used property graph database, queried with the Cypher language. It is popular with developer teams building graph applications, and it now markets a knowledge layer for AI and agents. It is infrastructure you build on rather than a finished product.
Neo4j gives you a graph database and a query language, and you build the rest. Curiosity gives you the whole context layer as one system, with connectors, search, the knowledge graph, security, UI and APIs already in place.
A finished product, not a database
With Neo4j you build ingestion, entity extraction, retrieval, security and the interface. Curiosity ships these together and runs on your infrastructure.
Search, AI and agents included
Neo4j stores and queries graphs. Curiosity adds search, similarity, enrichment, embeddings and agents, and connects the language model you choose.
Connected to your systems
Neo4j needs data pipelines built and maintained. Curiosity connects network drives, enterprise apps, cloud and data lakes out of the box.
