About Pieces

Pieces is a local AI assistant built for software developers that captures, organizes, and retrieves code snippets and developer context across an entire workflow. It integrates with popular IDEs like VS Code and JetBrains, as well as browsers and collaboration tools, allowing it to passively collect code fragments, commands, links, and notes as a developer works. The core idea is that useful pieces of code and context are constantly generated and lost during a typical development session, and Pieces acts as a persistent memory layer that stores and indexes that material without requiring manual effort. The tool uses on-device AI processing, meaning data stays local rather than being sent to external servers, which addresses privacy concerns common in enterprise and professional environments. Its AI can automatically tag and enrich saved snippets with metadata such as language, related packages, origin URL, and suggested use cases. Developers can then search their saved material using natural language queries, making retrieval faster than digging through browser history, Slack threads, or scattered notes. Pieces also offers a Long-Term Memory feature that tracks workflow context over time, allowing the AI to answer questions about what a developer was working on, which tools they used, and what decisions were made during a session. The primary audience is individual developers and engineering teams who frequently context-switch, work across multiple repositories, or spend significant time retracing steps and relocating reference material. It suits developers who want an AI assistant tightly integrated into their existing toolchain rather than a standalone chat interface. Pieces offers a free tier for individual use with core snippet management and AI features included. Team and enterprise plans with additional collaboration, access controls, and deployment options are available at higher price points, though specific pricing details require direct inquiry or account creation on the website.
