Comparison
A modern alternative
to OutSystems
Curiosity builds tools on a context graph; OutSystems is a platform for developing applications.
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.
OutSystems
A low code platform for building and running enterprise applications and agents, with AI assistance for developers. It suits organizations replacing or extending core systems with custom software built by development teams.
How Curiosity compares
Custom software, or tools on your context
OutSystems is built for applications a development team owns for years. Studio is built for the question a team has this week, answered by a tool grounded in records you already have.
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.
