Pieces for Developers
What Pieces for Developers is
Pieces for Developers creates a searchable memory of work and carries that context into AI tools. It captures research, chats, emails, notes, and meetings in chronological order, forming memories every two seconds from the applications already in use. Searches can target a time, topic, person, or tool, while prompts can be narrowed by time, source, or topic. Pieces can generate standup updates, morning briefs, meeting preparation, and day recaps from captured context. Memories are saved on the user’s machine by default, with controls to pause capture, exclude apps or websites, and delete data by time, source, or capture method. Its MCP Server carries history into assistants including Claude, Cursor, and Codex. Integrations include Gmail, Slack, Teams, Google Meet, Notion, Figma, ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, VS Code, JetBrains, and Xcode. The VS Code extension adds coding assistance and snippet management. Pro costs $18.99 per user monthly; a seven-day trial is listed.
