Pinecone Setup

Here, you will find the setup instructions for enabling Pinecone integration, creating an index, and performing basic operations using the Pinecone dashboard.

Create a Pinecone Account

1. Go to the Pinecone website (opens in a new tab) and sign up for an account if you haven't already.
2. After signing in, you'll be directed to the Pinecone dashboard.

Create a New Project

1. In the Pinecone dashboard, click on "Create Project" or "New Project".
2. Enter a name for your project and select the appropriate region.
3. Click "Create" to set up your new project.

Create an Index

1. In your project dashboard, click on "Create Index".

2. Enter an index name and configure the following settings:

   • Add the Dimension as 1,536 and Metric as cosine in the configuration section (you can change these values if required, for eg. use 1536 for OpenAI's text-embedding-ada-002 model).
   • Keep the other settings like capacity mode, cloud provider, and region default.
   

3. Click "Create Index" to finalize the process.

Obtain API Keys

1. In the project dashboard, go to "API Keys" or "Settings".
2. You will find your API key here. Keep this secure, as it will be used to authenticate your requests to Pinecone.
