What is Pieces?

Pieces quietly captures the context of your work, from snippets to browser research and conversations, then lets you ask for it back in plain language instead of digging through tabs, chats and folders.

Pros: what Pieces does well

  • Recalls context you would otherwise lose
  • Runs locally for privacy
  • Good developer integrations

Cons: where it falls short

  • Most useful for technical work
  • Takes a while to build up memory

Who Pieces is for

Developers and researchers who constantly re-find the same information.

Who can skip it

People with simple, low-context workflows.
