A large library of prebuilt automations for LinkedIn, Sales Navigator, Instagram, X/Twitter, Facebook, Google Maps, websites and more.
Chain multiple Phantoms together so the output of one step becomes the input of the next, building end-to-end pipelines without code.
Runs on managed cloud browsers, so jobs continue 24/7 without keeping a local machine switched on.
Send results to Google Sheets, CSV, webhooks, Zapier, Make, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Salesforce and other tools.
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.
