Hello Product Hunt! 👋 Tsavo here, CEO and Technical Co-Founder of Pieces. Developers are moving faster than ever. With an abundance of generative AI tools, coding languages, and documentation, the massive amount of information devs interact with on a daily basis is nothing short of chaotic. That's why we created a horizontal productivity tool that helps you manage and deeply understand those useful resources throughout your work-in-progress journey, while only generating exactly what you need ✨ KEY FEATURES OF PIECES COPILOT: - 🧠 Personalized Results: Our AI assistant runs at an OS level, learning from your entire workflow with Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) to offer contextualized suggestions. - 🔄 Multi-Modal Inputs & Contexts: With multi-modal inputs and contexts, you can set an entire code repository, images, and other data for the copilot to reference, ensuring tailored and relevant coding assistance. - 💻 Cross-Platform LLM Integration: Use Pieces Copilot across macOS, Linux, and Windows, leveraging your choice of cloud, local, or custom LLMs. - 🌐 Seamless Workflow Integration: Pieces Copilot integrates with browsers, IDEs, and collaboration tools, enhancing every step of your development process. - 💬 Flexible Saving Options: Designed from the ground up, Pieces allows you to save entire conversations or single snippets for easy reference and reuse. - 📊 Automatic Contextual Enrichment: Automatically attaches useful context, source info, and metadata to all code snippets and screenshots for improved organization and reusability. - 🔒 Uncompromised Security & Privacy: Your data stays on-device, ensuring top-notch security and privacy. Thank you for supporting our startup!

@tsavo_at_pieces Pieces Copilot sounds impressive for streamlining coding workflows with its AI assistant and personalized suggestions. Love the cross-platform support and focus on security with on-device data processing. Curious to know, does it support a wide range of coding languages effectively? Excited about its potential impact!
Arnav Mahajan
@tsavo_at_pieces how are you syncing it between the devices when it also says that "data stays on-device", not sure about that. Otherwise, it looks like a great product, I will definitely give it a try. Great find @kevin as always!

Launching soon!
@tsavo_at_pieces @sichen_shao Thank you so much for the support! In terms of auto-enrichment and language classifications, we support around 50 coding languages.

@tsavo_at_pieces @kevin @arnav1712 we do not have cross-device sync yet! We're still working on that feature. As of now the only way data can be shared is through manual backup and sync, sharing to GitHub Gists, or creating shareable links for individual snippets.

I am not a coder, but I have had to use minimal amounts of coding for things sometimes and I can imagine this is going to be incredibly helpful to coders out there!

@annie_chopra Thank you for checking out Pieces Copilot! I can tell you it will be helpful even to you if you want to understand some code you see for the first time! Give it a try, you'll love it 😁

@annie_chopra Hope you'll find it helpful Annie! We've built it to provide a seamless experience for all kinds and levels of developers. You can get started with it for something simple like just making it easier for you to manage and share snippets you come across but it can do more than that and can take things up a level when you need it 🙌

Big fan of AI code editors! Use it everyday! Quick question: How is it different from competitors like cursor.so and GitHub copilot chat?
Kuba Wasak
Maker
@sentry_co Glad you like this tech! There are couple differences, but the one I like the most is we let you use a model of choice, so you're not stuck with just one model, and also we let you use air-gapped on-device models so your code and questions don't leave your machine if you choose them not to :D Also we keep working on supporting more and more models, so the selection will only grow!
André J
@kuba_at_pieces Nice! Im no expert but I guess model memory is important when understanding more of the codebase? So the more context memory the model has the better it is to understand the codebase? What is the current highest context you support?
Kuba Wasak
Maker
@sentry_co I'm not positive I fully understand your question. In terms of system memory, each model requires different amount of it. The more context you add, the more system memory you'll need. In terms of how big a context scope can be, I don't believe we set any limit on that. You can define what needs to be in the context of the conversation you're having with Pieces Copilot and the only limit will be your hardware.
André J
@kuba_at_pieces Its more my experience the last few months. If you give the model too much contextual data it trottles it in a way.
Kuba Wasak
Maker
@sentry_co We try to optimize our queries and context management to our best abilities. We can always hope for a release of an LLM project that is deeply optimized for tons of context and won't stutter under any load ;)

Congratulations on the launch! 🎉 This is an exciting and challenging idea brought to life and I'm sure this is going to save lots of time and efforts for developers in building robust applications without sacrificing their peace. (You could consider renaming it to Peaces Copilot) as it will give a peace of mind to those devs! 😅

@moingshaikh Thank you for your comment! Not sure if we adopt the new name, but we're always open for feedback 😊

Hey there! Pieces Copilot sounds like an amazing tool for developers to manage and deeply understand the abundance of resources they interact with on a daily basis. I'm really looking forward to the launch of your product and would love to try it out once it's live. Do you have any advice for someone like me who's about to launch their own product? Also, I'd love to get your feedback once Pieces Copilot is ready. Feel free to click on the "Notify" button to get notified when it's live. Thanks in advance!

@sophiawms Our Copilot can be seen in the latest release of Pieces, feel free to check it out and let us know what you think! I've followed your product, it also looks interesting :)
Narendra Solanki
This seems like a powerful tool for coders. A suggestion would be to include a collaborative feature where developers can share and discuss code snippets or solutions within the app.
Mason Williams
Maker
Hey @narendra_solanki 👋, thanks for the feedback and support! As far as sharing goes, you can already share snippets with anyone by simply generating a shareable link. Then diving more into the discussion topic, we did recently add "Annotations", which we plan to evolve into a way for users to leave comments/feedback on snippets. The Pieces team is really excited about integrating more collaboration features so stay tuned as we roll into 2024!
Rutvik Tak

@narendra_solanki Hey hi Narendra, thanx for the support 💪 Btw, we already allow you to share snippets with others. You can try it out with latest releases of any of our products. Check it out here, https://docs.pieces.app/features... And we're actively looking to improve Pieces products wrt to collaborative feature. Feel free to send me a dm if you've anything specific in mind on collaborative features. Here's some more info on where we're at on collaborative features, https://www.producthunt.com/post...

Mr. Ånand
Great productivity tool, on-device model is truly helpful. Glad to work with Pieces blog!
Kuba Wasak
Maker
@mranand Great to hear you benefit from the on-device models 😊 What's your most common use case for Pieces Copilot?
Mr. Ånand
@kuba_at_pieces Numerous, easily shareable code snippets can be directly embedded into technical blogs. Integration with VScode and a Chrome extension enhances the learning experience by saving relevant codes and adding extra information by the help of AI explananion.
Cam Pak
Congrats on the launch! This is exciting. I heard about Pieces from a dev conference in Oklahoma called Thunderplains web developer conference. I was wondering if there is inline code completion, like GitHub copilot with Pieces. Is that a thing?
Mason Williams
Maker
Hey @campak 👋 We don't have any generated in-line code completion, however, we do have code completion using your saved snippets. So if you have a class template saved for example, you can use code completion in VS Code to fill the rest of that class out. That's awesome that you heard of us from a conference! Was there a talk that mentioned us or how did Pieces come up? (If you don't mind me asking)
Cam Pak
@masnwilliams Nice, good to know! Someone who gave a talk mentioned that it was one of their favorite products to help them in their dev journey :)
Mason Williams
Maker
@campak Oh that’s awesome! If you could remember who it was, I’d love to reach out to them but no worries if you can’t! Enjoy the holidays!
Cam Pak
@masnwilliams since it was a lightning talk, unfortunately I do not have a list of those names Merry Christmas, though!

Yan Kiree
Having the ability to save conversations or snippets with Pieces Copilot sounds convenient. Is there an easy way to organize and search through these saved items?
Cole Stark
Maker
Launching soon!
@petryan_kiree we use on-device ML models to automatically enrich every snippet you save to Pieces with a title, description, tags, related links and more, so that it's easily searchable whether you're in the desktop app or one of our integrations. We're working on adding custom folders for even better organization!
Mark Eser
Is it better than the GitHubs one? I am not really a fun of their copilot, but in general I love the idea
Kuba Wasak
Maker
@mark_eser It's free to use for now, so you can decide if it's better, we believe it is 😉
Cole Stark
Maker
Launching soon!
@mark_eser GitHub Copilot is more focused on code completion - Pieces Copilot is better suited for asking questions about code, generating more personalized snippets based on the context of your project, on-device security, and we have a code snippet manager built-in so you can keep track of useful workflow materials along the way!
