Chatbot not reading from Pinecone?

[scottklein7]

Hello all,

I have had a problem whereby when I create a new pinecone index and try and integrate it into my project, for whatever reason the chatbot is not reading from the database vectors. When I try and return the source docs I get nothing back, yet I can see pinecone is getting hit with an API request. Is there something I am missing here? I am using pinecone prem as well. Any help would be great

To follow up - for some reason when you initialize a pinecone index in the portal this occurs, yet if you create in index within your codebase it works perfectly
