Managed vector database and AI knowledge platform for building retrieval and agent applications.
Pinecone is a fully managed vector database and AI knowledge platform for developers and enterprises building AI applications. It stores and searches vector embeddings through an API, with automatic indexing, instant searchability of writes, and consistent query latency at scale. The platform also includes Nexus, a knowledge engine that compiles enterprise data for agents, and a Marketplace, plus a console for managing indexes, monitoring metrics, and exploring records. It is aimed at teams building RAG pipelines, semantic search, and agent workflows. A free tier is available, then usage-based pay-as-you-go pricing applies.
