The enterprise AI search platform that turns documents into outcomes
Turns a full document estate into one governed, machine-readable source of truth, so answers cite the pages that support them.
On-premise or sovereign-friendly deployment of the retrieval stack, with LightOn's own open-weight models underneath.
Prepackaged agents for finding information, comparing against ground truth, extracting and cross-checking, monitoring weak signals, scoring with justification and mapping research.
Production-grade parsing, extraction and retrieval for teams wiring document intelligence into their own products.
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.
