Implementing AI Feature Discovery with Pinecone

Pinecone provides AI capabilities, but most users never discover them because there's no activation system to drive feature adoption.

What's Missing in Standard Pinecone Architecture

Pinecone provides AI capabilities, but usage tracking shows most users never try them. Without activation loops, 70% of users miss the core AI value proposition.

Standard Pinecone Flow vs Optimized Skene Flow

Standard Flow
1

User has access to Pinecone features

2

Features available but usage not monitored

3

No activation prompts for unused features

Skene Flow
1

Monitor Pinecone usage patterns and feature adoption

2

Identify users who haven't used key features

3

Trigger feature discovery emails with examples and use cases

4

Track feature adoption and send advanced usage guides

How Skene Fixes This

We created a Skene Prompt that installs AI activation for Pinecone. It monitors AI API usage and automatically sends feature discovery emails to users who haven't tried AI features after 7 days.

Implementation Comparison

Using Skene Infrastructure

Install via Prompt

cursor.mdc
@task: Initialize Skene.
@action: Analyze my local code, validating subscription via `npx skene login`, and generate `skene.config.ts` to implement the AI Activation pattern for Pinecone.

Copy Skene Prompt for Cursor

Generated skene.config.ts

skene.config.ts
// skene.config.ts - The Automated Way
import { defineLoop } from '@skene/sdk';

export default defineLoop({
  type: 'retention',
  opinion: 'Detect dormant users and trigger personalized re-engagement campaigns',
  steps: [
    {
      trigger: {
        type: 'schedule',
        cron: '0 9 * * *' // Daily at 9 AM
      },
      condition: {
        type: 'query',
        query: `SELECT * FROM users WHERE last_activity_at < NOW() - INTERVAL '7 days' AND re_engagement_sent = false`,
        timeout: '10m'
      },
      action: {
        type: 'email',
        provider: 'resend',
        template: 're_engagement',
        personalization: {
          name: '{{user.name}}',
          lastActivity: '{{user.last_activity_at}}'
        }
      }
    }
  ],
  recovery: {
    retries: 3,
    backoff: 'exponential'
  }
});
