USE CASE: RECOMMENDATIONS

Read case study

Gong achieves efficient vector searches, empowering Smart Trackers to offer users precise and relevant examples for concept tracking in conversations.

USE CASE: SEARCH

Read case study

Before Pinecone, Vanguard’s customer support teams relied on keyword-based search solutions to search for documents where answers to a customer’s question may live. With Pinecone and hybrid retrieval, they **boosted customer support with faster calls and 12% more accurate responses.**

USE CASE: AGENTS

"Pinecone also **supports hybrid search**, combining sparse and dense embeddings, to deliver a more robust and accurate search experience. This flexibility allows us to optimize costs and performance, whether dealing with enterprises with extensive documentation or smaller companies with fewer pages."

USE CASE: RAG

"Pinecone aligns with our vision to democratize data accessibility for all engineers, and we're excited to uncover more potential with its new serverless architecture."
