Comparison
A modern alternative
to Squirro
Curiosity models industrial records; Squirro brings enterprise search and AI to financial services.
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.
Squirro
A Zurich company’s enterprise AI platform combining search, retrieval and a knowledge graph, strongest in banking, insurance and the public sector, deployable in the cloud, a private cloud or on premises.
How Curiosity compares
Same building blocks, different estate
Squirro and Curiosity both combine search, a graph and AI, and both run where the data lives. Curiosity is built for industrial records: part data, revisions, maintenance logs and the engineering systems they live in.
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.
