Curiosity and Sinequa
Both serve regulated estates. One starts smaller.
Curiosity connects structured knowledge and reaches production faster.

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.
Sinequa
An enterprise search platform with a long history, used by large regulated organizations, with a wide connector library and search across structured and unstructured content, deployable in cloud, hybrid or on premises form. Rollouts are typically large and supported by dedicated teams.
How Curiosity compares
Where the boundary falls
Sinequa is a capable platform with a long history in this sector. The difference is the shape of the program: Curiosity begins with a free developer install and a graph your own engineers can evaluate.
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.
