Pinecone

Pinecone's page presents an AI knowledge platform made up of Database, Nexus, and Marketplace. The Database is described as a fully managed vector database built for AI, where writes are searchable within seconds, indexing is automatic, and queries are said to stay fast at any scale. Pinecone Nexus is described as a knowledge engine that compiles enterprise data into governed knowledge once and serves it through a single query, with claimed benchmark results of up to 97% fewer tokens per query, up to 30x faster time-to-completion, and up to 94% more accuracy compared with agentic RAG. The page lists an API that can be used through agent plugins (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Codex, Gemini CLI, MCP) or directly, supporting search, upsert, and rerank from one index. Enterprise offerings mention encryption, SSO, RBAC, CMEK, private networking, SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, GDPR, and ISO 27001 certifications, and uptime and support SLAs. The page names customers including Adobe, Workday, Microsoft, and OpenAI, and claims 10,000+ customers and 1M developers.
