Overview
Pinecone serverless is the most popular vector database, used by engineering teams to solve two of the biggest challenges in deploying GenAI solutions - data security and hallucinations - by allowing them to store, search, and find the most relevant information from company data and send only that context to Large Language Models (LLMs) with every query.
This workflow is called Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), and with the Pinecone vector database, it aids in providing relevant, accurate, and fast responses from search or GenAI applications to end users.
Vector databases are purpose-built for storing and searching through vector embeddings, AI representations of data. This method of information retrieval (IR) is called vector search. Vector search is the new standard for finding the most relevant data for GenAI applications or any kind of search application.
Pinecone Vector Database Usage-based Billing: Charges are calculated by pod price multiplied by pod count. Invoices reflect total index runtime, rounded to 15-minute increments. The Standard tier starts at $25/month and includes $15/month of usage credits.

After creating your organization through the AWS Marketplace and signing into Pinecone, you may need to switch to your new organization. You can do so via the Switch Organization toggle in the left-side panel of the Pinecone console, directly above Settings.
After accessing your organization, you must create a new project if you wish to create non-starter indexes (docs.pinecone.io/docs/create-project).
If your AWS organization already has a subscription, please request an organization admin to invite you via the Pinecone console. You do not need to create a new Pinecone organization to join your team.
This is a fully managed service with technical support included with Standard and Enterprise plans. For more information regarding support SLAs, please see each plan's details on the pricing page (pinecone.io/pricing).

complicated set-up
When I tried to use the Pinecone standard plan connected with AWS Marketplace, the setup process looped between Pinecone and AWS Marketplace. I am unable to start a standard plan. It still showing current plan as starter eventhough the pinecone documents says AWS Marketplace don't support it.
Apart from the chatbot, there is no help from the pinecone side. There has been no response to my sales query also.
ideal for machine learning, AI applications and similarity search
Also it's use case is little complex with lack of ecosystem integration.
God of creating embeddings
Pinecone assistant beta user
I love to see pinecone assistant in deployable version because it is powerful yet it is in the beta version only for testing not for production
Good support from team.
