CrewAI + Pinecone Integration Guide

Step-by-step setup

1. Install the framework and integration SDK dependencies.
2. Configure API keys and runtime environment variables.
3. Create a minimal pipeline with one agent and one retrieval/tool module.
4. Add observability (LangFuse / Phoenix) before production traffic.
5. Load test with realistic prompt and context windows.

Code snippet

# Example starter pseudocode
from framework import Agent
from provider import Client

client = Client()
agent = Agent(model="best-available", integration="Pinecone")
print(agent.run("run a health check"))

Troubleshooting

• 401 or auth errors: re-check API key scopes and org/project settings.
• Latency spikes: reduce retrieval depth and enable response caching.
• Token cost spikes: tune chunk size, top-k, and prompt verbosity.
