What users say about Pinecone

Feedback from 6 verified professionals

We evaluated our semantic search system’s recall performance both with and without the Pinecone reranker and saw substantial improvements. Using a reranker has from that point onwards been a no-brainer. By centralizing our vector database interactions to one system, it will be easier for other teams to adopt this technology too.

Pinecone is a critical part of our agentic architecture; it powers the retrieval backbone of Aquant AI, including our knowledge agent, which delivers real-time, context-aware guidance to service professionals.

Pinecone gave us the flexibility and performance we needed to move from basic search to something much more knowledgeable—retrieval that understands context, adapts to our data, and scales with our growth.
