Curiosity
Curiosity is the context graph for industrial AI. It connects the knowledge spread across an organization's files, messages, wikis, ticketing systems and databases into a single graph that teams can search, explore and put to work with AI.
Most search tools treat each document in isolation. Curiosity keeps the relationships between records intact, so a part, a supplier, a ticket and a field report stay linked. Search returns answers with that context attached, and every answer carries a clear trail back to the source.
It holds data in memory, so results return as you type across structured and unstructured sources, and connects to systems such as network drives, SharePoint, Jira and ServiceNow without moving your data.
Curiosity runs on your own infrastructure for data privacy, respects your existing permissions and combines your knowledge graph with the AI models you choose.
Built for industrial enterprises that need trustworthy answers from complex, connected data.

BeaconFind
BeaconFind is AI file search for Windows that runs entirely on your own machine. Press Ctrl+K and describe a file the way you would to a colleague, and it finds the document even when you cannot recall its name: "the rental contract with the deposit" finds scan0047.pdf.
Ordinary search matches literal keywords, so "salary" misses a payslip that says "compensation", and a scanned PDF has no text to match at all. BeaconFind indexes what files are about. It reads 70+ file types including PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, code and email, matches across 50+ languages so an English search finds a German document, and uses OCR to read text inside screenshots and scans. It also answers questions about your documents with citations and finds duplicates.
Every AI model runs locally. Files, their contents, your searches and the index stay on the machine, and there is no telemetry. Only a licence check and an update check reach our server, and both can be firewalled.
