Add indexes as a datasource for assistants

One thing that would really be a game changer would be plugging assistants into an index. I assume this would be the eventual evolution of the assistants’ feature set. If so, I would love to get a timeline estimate on that.

ultimately if there was a way to plug an assistant into an index then pinecone would hands down be the most powerful platform to build a RAG system on top of. One index, one API, one API key, etc. and a simple API interface to manage chat with context of an entire index. It would just be awesome.

If this is on the roadmap let me know if you are doing any alpha testing, would love to sign myself up for that!

Hi @softservesoftware,

Thank you so much for taking the time to write up and share your excellent feedback with us.

I wanted you to know that the Assistants team has received and read it. I’ll leave others the opportunity to respond on your thread with additional info if/when it becomes available.

Best,
Zack

Plus one to this capability of connecting existing indexes to pine cone assistants.

The other thing that would be valuable is if we can connect assistants with one another too.

adding support for this feature request.

Fully aligned with this vision:

Pinecone would hands down be the most powerful platform to build a RAG system on top of. One index, one API, one API key—paired with a simple interface to manage conversations using the full context of an entire index. That would be awesome.

Being able to plug assistants directly into an index would be a game changer. It feels like a natural and powerful evolution of the current assistant capabilities.

If this is already on the roadmap, I’d love to know the estimated timeline @ZacharyProser and if there’s any alpha or beta testing ongoing, count me in :slight_smile:
