Ok, as someone for whom a Pinecone is the thing you can collect in the forest to burn so that your campfire makes nice sounds, what's the elevator pitch?

Nice work. Any plans to add support for Pinecone Assistant?

Why does the example image have 2 ID columns with the same content?

Nice work! Desktop apps for DB exploration always feel more responsive than web alternatives, especially when you're iterating on embeddings and need quick feedback.

A few questions: does it support visualizing vector clusters (like t-SNE or UMAP projections)? And is there a way to test similarity queries interactively before committing them to code?

Vector DBs have this unique challenge where the data is high-dimensional and hard to intuit. Tools that help developers 'see' what's happening in the embedding space are incredibly valuable.
