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.

The portable data lakehouse for AI agents
Connect to operational databases, data lakes, and warehouses, and query them through one SQL endpoint. Materialize working sets in-memory or on disk for millisecond access with engines like Cayenne.
Replicate changes from production databases to an isolated analytics replica via high-throughput CDC, so large queries run against near real-time operational data without touching production.
Combine structured filters, vector similarity, and full-text search in a single SQL statement and rank merged results by relevance.
Call hosted or local LLMs inline using SQL UDFs or natural language to translate, summarize, and classify data without leaving the runtime.
