The Next Chapter

The Knowledge Engine
for the Agentic Era

Pinecone pioneered the vector database and defined RAG as a standard pattern for AI systems. That infrastructure is now mature enough to be priced as the commodity it has become.

Agents will drive 1,000× the query volume humans generate. What we're launching this week is the knowledge layer that makes those agents reliable, fast, and economical to run at that scale.
