Curiosity and ServiceNow and Moveworks
The workflow, or the knowledge behind it
Curiosity builds tools on engineering knowledge; ServiceNow and Moveworks build agents on service workflows.
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.
ServiceNow and Moveworks
AI agents and an agent builder on the ServiceNow AI Platform, acting on IT, HR and customer service workflows, with Moveworks’ assistant for employee requests since ServiceNow acquired it in December 2025. They work best where the process already runs in ServiceNow.
How Curiosity compares
Where the boundary falls
ServiceNow agents move a ticket through its workflow, and Moveworks resolves the recurring employee request. Studio answers what the ticket is about, from the part records, maintenance logs and field reports kept in other systems. Both can reasonably exist in the same organization.
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.

Customization
What your team can change
Your own code, interface, data model and configuration. ServiceNow and Moveworks 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
JavaScript and TypeScript server code on the instance
Your own interface
Your own front end in C#, deployed from git
UI Builder, UI pages and custom components
Data model
Typed node and edge schemas you define
Tables, fields and relationships you define

AI integration
What AI can build and reach
Whether AI can build on it, who reviews the result, and which models it runs. ServiceNow and Moveworks as its own documentation described it in October 2026.
AI that builds
Sudo drafts endpoints, tools, schemas and screens
Build Agent generates apps from a prompt
Review before it applies
Every change a diff a person approves, in a sandbox
Plan approval and code preview before build and install
Model choice
Any major provider, or an OpenAI compatible endpoint
Azure OpenAI, Google Vertex, generic LLM connector
