Pieces at a Glance

Contextual AI Copilot

The Pieces Copilot runs at the operating system-level, using the power of retrieval augmented generation to learn from your entire workflow and make contextualized suggestions.

LLM Utilization

Pieces is one of the first to offer fully functional LLM integrations across macOS, Linux, and Windows, giving users the option to leverage their choice of cloud, local, or custom LLMs.

Embedded Across your Workflow

Pieces is a tool-between-tools connecting the three main pillars of a developers’ workflow: Researching and problem solving in the browser, coding in the IDE, and collaborating with teammates.

Automatic Enrichment

Our intelligent storage agent automatically attaches useful context and metadata to the code snippets and screenshots you save, enabling better organization, searchability, and reusability.

Workflow Activity Tracking

Pick up where you left off and identify helpful insights about your workflow with a continuous log of activity across your development environment.

Security & Privacy

Pieces processes data on-device for air-gapped security and privacy. All AI capabilities can run entirely local or in the cloud, depending on operational constraints.

Pieces has helped me 10x my workflow while also giving me insight into what my code does. It's a really great integration every developer should take advantage of.

You need to try Pieces out if you write code and feel you need a true second brain, where you can basically store any function or code you've ever written and can use it again and again and again. Thanks to the devs for the outstanding support so far!

Great software, use it everyday. The search algorithm is out of this world and it's very easy to share your snippets with others. The CoPilot/AI generating explanation is very advanced. I also use the Obsidian plug-in, which enchriches all code snippets with explantions and hashtags. A time saver and life saver!

Honestly the best all round snippet inventory / code copilot for developers that works seamlessly with the VScode IDE. Highly recommend the plugin to any developer who needs to keep track of snippets that they often re-use as well as the context around those snippets. The Pieces co-pilot is simply the cherry on the cake!
