| customers | Food technology company Allspice needed a way to solve the inherent "messiness" of recipe and ingredient data that traditional text search could not handle. By implementing Pinecone, Allspice improved ingredient matching accuracy from roughly 20% to 97% and built a functional, AI-powered kitchen operating system that uses semantic matching for ingredients and recipes. Pinecone's developer-friendly setup and managed vector infrastructure let the team validate and ship vector-powered workflows in days, not months, expanding from a single proof of concept to a platform-wide semantic layer. Ultimately, this improved user satisfaction and generated new revenue opportunities for publishers. | https://www.pinecone.io/customers/allspice/ |
| customers | Aquant is an agentic AI platform purpose-built for professionals servicing complex equipment at large manufacturing companies. The platform delivers expert-level answers to users across the entire service journey, from helping to diagnose issues, providing insights-based recommendations, predicting equipment failure, and improving the overall customer experience. As service data and customer demands grew more complex, Aquant needed a new foundation for real-time, domain-specific retrieval. Pinecone delivered the speed, accuracy, scale, and reliability they needed to transform their platform, enabling more intelligent automation, lower operational overhead, and better results for end users. | https://www.pinecone.io/customers/aquant/ |

Limitations and open questions
Known constraints and missing evidence from the collected pages.
The collected pages do not mention specific competitors or alternative products. Evidence gaps include lack of detailed pricing for Assistant usage, no explicit data export procedures, and no uptime or status page information.
