The universal context engine connecting agents to data, tools, and models
One normalized API connects your product to hundreds of HRIS, payroll, ATS, CRM, accounting, ticketing, and file storage systems with read and write access.
Give agents secure, authenticated access to thousands of pre-built tools across third-party services, with scoped permissions and audit logs.
Route every model through one API with automatic failover, pre-built or custom routing rules, and spend and performance controls.
Distribute approved MCP connectors, models, and skills to employee AI tools with per-team budgets, DLP scanning, and audit logging.
The managed vector database and knowledge engine for production AI
Store and query vector embeddings with automatic indexing that requires no manual tuning or algorithm selection.
Writes are acknowledged in under 100ms and become searchable within seconds, while all data is searched in parallel so speed holds at scale.
Connect agents to Pinecone through plugins for Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Codex, Gemini CLI, MCP, or a direct REST API with one key.
Serve compiled, governed enterprise knowledge to agents through a single query, cutting token usage and latency versus multi-step RAG loops.
