PineText

PineText

A lightweight assistant built using Pinecone that helps create RAG-based chat applications for reasoning over documents, retrieving relevant context, and providing grounded answers.

Getting Started

Use uv to add and manage PineText as a dependency in your project, or install it directly via uv pip install or pip install. See the Installation section of the documentation for full installation instructions and more details.

uv add pinetext

It can be embedded in and run directly from your application.

# app.py
from pinetext import PineText

def main():
    pt = PineText(data_dir="./data")
    pt.run()

It can also be launched from the command line using the provided CLI without modifying the source code.
