Pinecone

to build NeuraVid

•3 reviews

We used Pinecone for fast, scalable vector search to power NeuraVid’s AI-driven video retrieval. Unlike traditional databases, Pinecone is optimized for vector searches (ANN - Approximate Nearest Neighbor). As NeuraVid processes huge volumes of video embeddings, Pinecone’s fully managed infrastructure scales automatically, handling billions of vectors efficiently & we don't have to worry about it.

AI integration (6)scalability (11)ease of use (8)

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.
