> Vector indexes and queries. A store an AI teammate can search — BoostGPT already has its own.

Vector indexes and queries. A store an AI teammate can search — BoostGPT already has its own.

## Connecting

In the dashboard, open **Connectors**, find Pinecone and press **Connect**. The key you enter is checked against Pinecone before anything is saved, so a key that is refused never becomes a connection that fails later.

### What you will need

| Field | What it is |
| - | - |
| API Key | Your Pinecone API key |
| Index Host | The host for your index, as returned by describe\_index — e.g. my-index-abc123.svc.us-east-1-aws.pinecone.io |

### Getting the credential

1. Sign up at [Pinecone](https://www.pinecone.io/)
2. Create a new project or use existing one
3. Go to **API Keys** in the console
4. Create and copy your API key
5. Note your environment and project ID for index URLs
