Cannot retrieve info even the file was successfully uploaded to Pinecone

Hi everyone!

I successfully uploaded a doc to Pinecone and the flow testing worked well. But when it came to the info retrieval, nothing returned to the prompt.


Please let me know if you need more info or any suggestions. Thank you so much!

It looks like your topic is missing some important information. Could you provide the following if applicable.

  • n8n version:
  • Database (default: SQLite):
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):
  • Operating system:
  • n8n version: 1.75.2
  • Database (default: SQLite): default i think
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main): i don’t know, probably default
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app): cloud
  • Operating system: macbook pro

Hi @Jiaru_Cai

The reason why you’re not getting any results could be that you’re working with different namespaces. You’re embedding is done in a namespace called dineout assistant but your retrieval is from a namespace called retrieved info

Hi Ria! Thank you so much for your response and the doc. I corrected it to the same namespace.

@Jiaru_Cai Hi, were you able to understand the issue? i am facing the same issue as i uploaded Pinecone but nothing is coming back like your scenario.

were you able to fix it? if so, can you explain how?

Just make sure the namespaces you used in the two Pinecone Vector Stores (one for document indexing and one for retrieval) are the same, and it should work.

If after fixing this, you still find that no relevant information is retrieved:

  • if info is loaded but not relevant, it could be a model issue or something else.
  • if no info is loaded, then there might be other config issues beyond the namespace.
