The most trusted vector database for ambitious AI
Pinecone powers AI initiatives for the world’s best companies






Get into production fast
Create an account and your first index in 30 seconds, then upload a few vector embeddings from any model… or a few billion.
Perform ultra-fast vector search to retrieve relevant data for search, RAG, recommendation, detection, and other applications.
Scale your index or build new indexes to support upwards of billions of embeddings. You make the API call, Pinecone handles the rest.
import pinecone
# Create an index
# "dimension" needs to be same as dimensions of the vectors you upsert
pinecone.create_index(index_name="products", dimension=1536)
# Connect to the index
index = pinecone.Index(index_name="products")
# Mock vector and metadata objects (you would bring your own)
vector = [0.010, 2.34,...] # len(vector) = 1536
metadata = {'text': "Approximate nearest neighbor search (ANNS) is a fundamental building block in information retrieval"}
# Upsert your vector(s)
index.upsert((id='some_id', values=vector, metadata=metadata)) # (id, vector, metadata)
More relevant results make better applications
Filter by metadata
Combine vector search with familiar metadata filters to get just the results you want.
Update in real time
As your data changes, the Pinecone index is updated in realtime to provide the freshest results.
Make (the right) keywords matter
Combine vector search with keyword boosting to get the best of both worlds (hybrid search).
