About

Pinecone is a fully-managed, serverless vector database that lets developers store and query embeddings at scale without running infrastructure — a common production retrieval layer for RAG.

What it does

The site describes Pinecone as a fully managed, serverless vector database and knowledge platform for AI agents, handling writes, automatic indexing, and queries so retrieval stays fast and consistent as data scales, without the user managing the underlying infrastructure.
