AI-native ecommerce search and product discovery trained on your catalog
Trains a dedicated AI model on your real catalog and shopper behavior, with no shared LLM and no synthetic data, so relevance matches how your customers actually shop.
Goes beyond keyword matching with instant indexing, semantic relevance, typo tolerance, and multilingual comprehension across queries.
LLM-based image search is integrated into the search model, supporting reverse image and visual discovery flows that legacy keyword engines cannot match.
Shifts in real time between results, carousels, guided discovery, and conversational search based on shopper intent, context, and behavior.
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.
