Review Pinecone?

Reviewers mostly praise Pinecone for getting vector search into production fast, with a simple API, straightforward integration, solid latency, and scaling that removes most operational work. Several say it fits AI agents and embedding-heavy apps well, and one founder from TwelveLabs says their team uses it for fast retrieval across large video and text datasets. The main complaints are about lock-in: it is closed source, has no self-hosted option, can feel complicated at first, and may get expensive compared with running alternatives yourself.

Was using trieve until they were purchased by mintlify. So glad I was "nudged along" to switch. Way more powerful

What needs improvement

Cant say there's much I'd change other than it's a bit complicated at first.

vs Alternatives

I didn't actually start with Pinecone, but I'm so glad that I ended up there.
