In Detail

Pieces – The AI Developer Assistant with Long-Term Memory

Pieces is more than a code snippet manager. It's a context-aware AI assistant that understands your entire development workflow — saved snippets, browser tabs, meetings, commits, and conversations. The built-in Long-Term Memory (LTM) model learns what you do over time and surfaces relevant content automatically.

Offline-First and Privacy-Focused

Unlike cloud-based alternatives, Pieces runs entirely locally on your machine. All models and data stay on your device — nothing leaves your system. This makes it especially attractive for developers in organizations with strict data privacy requirements.

Seamless IDE Integration

Pieces integrates as a plugin into VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, Visual Studio, and other development environments. You can save, search, and insert snippets directly from your editor without interrupting your workflow. Browser extensions for Chrome and Firefox let you capture code from the web directly.

Intelligent Snippet Management

Every saved snippet is automatically enriched with tags, language, origin, and context. The AI recognizes patterns in your codebase and suggests related snippets. Semantic search finds content even when you don't remember the exact wording.

Who Is Pieces For?

Pieces is aimed at solo developers who want to maximize productivity and teams that want to share knowledge efficiently. The free tier for individuals includes all core features without limitations.
