In this video, we will understand how semantic search works, what vectors and embeddings are, why traditional databases are not enough for AI-powered search, and how to build a complete vector search application using FastAPI and Pinecone. Pinecone is one of the most popular vector databases used in modern AI applications, semantic search systems, recommendation engines, resume matching tools, AI search platforms, and RAG-based applications. If you want to understand how AI applications search by meaning instead of just matching exact keywords, this tutorial is a great place to start. By the end of this tutorial, you will understand the basics of traditional search vs semantic search, vector embeddings, vector databases, Pinecone, and how to connect Pinecone with a FastAPI backend. 00:00 Introduction 02:40 Understand the difference between traditional search and semantic search 05:10 Learn what vectors and embeddings are in very simple language 06:12 Understand how vector databases work 12:07 Learn why Pinecone is used in AI applications 13:16 Build a FastAP
