What problem does it solve?
Pinecone removes the operational burden of running high-performance vector search infrastructure, so you can focus on retrieval quality instead of database tuning, scaling, and maintenance.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Managed vector database: Use a fully managed, auto-scaling index for production AI workloads without self-hosting overhead.
- Production retrieval patterns: Support RAG, recommendation systems, semantic search, and multi-tenant applications with namespaces and metadata filters.
- Hybrid search: Combine dense embeddings with sparse keyword signals to improve recall and relevance in real-world search workflows.
- Use case: A team building an AI support assistant can store document embeddings in Pinecone, filter by product or region, and retrieve the most relevant passages in milliseconds.
Quick Start
Ask the assistant to create a Pinecone index for your embeddings, upload your documents with metadata and namespaces, and query it for the most relevant matches.
