Agentic, generative, and classic search in one retrieval platform
Deliver AI-driven keyword and neural results so users find what they are looking for quickly.
Generate suggestions from behavioral cues and personalize results for each user across their journey.
Let shoppers ask questions in natural language and receive grounded answers via retrieval-augmented generation.
Pin products, promote campaigns, and adapt ranking strategies on category and collection pages without engineering support.
The managed vector database and knowledge engine for production AI
Store and query vector embeddings with automatic indexing that requires no manual tuning or algorithm selection.
Writes are acknowledged in under 100ms and become searchable within seconds, while all data is searched in parallel so speed holds at scale.
Connect agents to Pinecone through plugins for Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Codex, Gemini CLI, MCP, or a direct REST API with one key.
Serve compiled, governed enterprise knowledge to agents through a single query, cutting token usage and latency versus multi-step RAG loops.
