Hi @bry,
Thank you for your question, and I’m sorry to hear you’re encountering this issue.
From a quick read through the stack trace you’ve shared, it appears that the Auto-GPT code may have been having issues contacting the Pinecone API.
- Are you sure that you exported your PINECONE\_API\_KEY and PINECONE\_ENVIRONMENT variables correctly and as expected by the Auto-GPT project?
Unfortunately, unless you are able to isolate the exact API call to Pinecone’s API that is failing, it appears this might be an error in the way that the Auto-GPT project is calling Pinecone.
You will probably have better luck posting this question in the Auto-GPT GitHub project issues.
I hope that’s helpful!
