Before you begin
- A Marketplace account. See the Quickstart for access.
- A clear use case in mind, so you can pick a starting template.
1. Open the catalog
Go to marketplace.pinecone.io and select New deployment. The catalog lists the available vertical templates.2. Pick a template
Choose the template that most closely matches your use case. Templates set the initial system prompt, recommended layout, suggested components, and starter prompts. You can change any of these later.3. Name the deployment
In the setup wizard:- Give the deployment a short, descriptive name.
- Add a one-line description that end users see in the application header.
- Select the Pinecone organization and project the deployment belongs to.
4. Choose a layout
Pick the consumer layout that fits the experience you want: chat, search, structured, or hybrid. The template suggests a default, which you can override. See Configure layouts.5. Configure operating parameters
Tune the system prompt, response style, and other operating parameters. For details, see Configure operating parameters.6. Add a knowledge base
A deployment must have at least one knowledge base. For each knowledge base:- Give it a name that describes the domain (for example,
policies,product-docs). - Connect a source. See Connectors.
7. Save as a building version
When you finish the wizard, Marketplace saves your work as a building version. The deployment is not yet live. From the dashboard, you can:- Continue editing the building version.
- Publish it. See Publish a deployment.
You can edit a building version as many times as you want before publishing. Each edit replaces the in-progress configuration; nothing is sent to end users until you publish.
