Ask questions about anything on your desktop computer. With live context from your entire workflow, your personal AI copilot can summarize online research, resolve complex coding issues, and streamline every aspect of your work-in-progress journey.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I’m Tsavo, CEO and Technical Co-Founder of Pieces. After four years of hard work, today marks a significant milestone in our journey. We've just launched the world’s first temporally grounded AI copilot: Pieces Copilot+ with Live Context.
Our mission at Pieces is to help developers remember anything and interact with everything. Live Context is a groundbreaking feature that captures and processes workflow data in real-time, directly on your device. This ensures you get the right information at the right time in your copilot, without losing focus or compromising privacy.
Here are some key prompts that Live Context enables to simplify research in the browser, coding in the IDE, and collaborating with teammates:
“Summarize the comments on my pull request and how I can fix them.”
“What were the main takeaways from my research last week?”
“Summarize my active Slack channels.”
“How can I resolve this issue I just came across?”
“When’s the best time to set up a sync with my team based on our shared calendars?”
We’re incredibly proud of what we've built and can’t wait for you to experience the productivity boost that Live Context brings. Your support means the world to us, and we’d love for you to join us on this journey.
Thank you for being part of our story!
Cheers,
Tsavo
Congrats on the launch @tsavo_at_pieces and team! I have been using Pieces for a while and it's starting to become a mainstream tool for me. Less context switching, more productivity.
@ashikhameed you bet! We've already got a ton of integrations with dev tools that developers use every day i.e. Chrome, Visual Studio, Visual Studio Code, Obsidian, Microsoft Teams, GitHub & GitHub Gists, Obsidian, JupyterLab, RayCast, Sublime, etc.. but we're right around the corner for some amazing cloud integrations!
That said, the beauty of the Workstream Pattern Engine is that is understands data streams at the OS level and doesn't need to be directly integrated to understand what's going on in each app and how it's related to the work you're doing!
Try it out and let us know what you think :)
@sentry_co It absolutely can!
Basically the Workstream Pattern Engine (which powers the Live Context) extracts key information from whatever you are focused on (clicked into) on your screen. It won't crawl through your emails or messages but if you have them up on the screen while the WPE is enabled it will capture all of that information so you can ask questions about it or have it recall it for you later!
Congrats on the launch, Really impressed by the folks at Pieces for bringing this product together and how simple it is to use. At the same time, it tackles the key areas we developers usually face, providing solutions all under one roof. This is especially valuable since we developers don't like context-switching.
@tsavo_at_pieces Just checked out Pieces Copilot+ and it’s amazing! The real-time, on-device AI assistant is exactly what I've been looking for. The ability to ask questions about anything on my desktop and get live context from my workflow is a great.
It's so helpful for summarizing online research, resolving complex coding issues, and streamlining every aspect of my work. The privacy aspect is also a big plus.
I love the specific prompts you mentioned, like summarizing pull request comments, recalling key takeaways from past research, and coordinating team syncs. It sounds like this will seriously boost productivity.
Looking forward to diving in and seeing how much it improves my workflow. Kudos to you and the team for such a fantastic product!
Super excited for this launch. The key aspect of being able to choose any model that you want to use locally and having all of the data on device is such a killer feature. Absolute love using the Live Context feature all the time!
Wow how come this is free? It's amazing. This is the future of assisted development. Great work to the entire team. Supported. Good luck with the launch.
@devluc hey! excellent question! We are offering it for free at the moment as we work to build an amazing product, not just for individual developers but soon for teams and enterprise. We will begin offering PiecesPro later this year and have posted a draft pricing plan here: https://github.com/pieces-app/su...
This sounds great! Having something like this available without an internet connection is really nice. I will be checking this out so that I can use an LLM with my coding tasks while on the train or in an airplane which often have spotty WiFi.
Good luck with the Product Hunt launch of Pieces.
I am impressed by its innovative AI capabilities, seamless integration with popular development tools, and strong focus on security. Pieces is set to make a real difference for developers.
Your efforts in creating a tool that enhances productivity and simplifies workflows are truly impressive.
I wish you great success and look forward to seeing its positive impact on the developer community.
Also, check heir GitHub account.
@chrisarter Thanks Chris! We tried to get Claude into our release earlier this morning along with the other 10 LLMs we added support for, but weren't able to make it in time. Luckily it's a lot easier for us to add new cloud-based LLMs to Pieces vs local models, so it should be in Pieces in a week or two! https://code.pieces.app/updates/...
Very keen to give this a try. Question though, I'm assuming the underlying metaprompts are all going to be setup to help with Coding, but would it in theory be possible to release another version of the desktop app that is for more general knowledge management? I'd love to use something like in conjunction with Obsidian for just general research and info gathering and studying.
@peterrossc absolutely! It's not a priority right now, but Pieces for Designers and Pieces for Knowledge Management is definitely on our long-term roadmap. For now, I'd definitely suggest checking out our existing Obsidian plugin! We'll be supporting Live Context there hopefully by the end of the week.
Congrats and good luck on the launch @tsavo_at_pieces and Pieces team! Pieces is one of my favourite tools right now and I am getting so much value from it. I have already seen my productivity increase a lot!
Excited for this launch 🎉! A powerful copilot that understands context from your entire workflow and can be used offline is a great addition for developers.
Incredible work! The on-device AI to translate (almost in a way to desensitize) code so only the context is passed on but not code, is pretty damn genius. I think the future is leveraging different models differently, and Pieces is pretty cool to getting somewhere with it. The OCR capability is a dream. Is it possible to have this work for other use cases?
I think there was a bot that monitors your gaming performance and give you play by play guidance. I think this would be great for any other entertainment OR productivity needs. AI could even offer help proactive! Lots of potential, very exciting stuff!
Congrats @tsavo_at_pieces and team!
@tsavo_at_pieces@tonyhanded Thanks Tony! The next phase of Pieces will be even more proactive. We'll be leveraging Live Context to enable a real-time feed of useful developer materials and information, which will be lightning fast due to our on-device LLMs. For example, you click on a new code file, and Pieces will update the feed to provide code snippets you'll likely need to use/adapt, related URLs to help you further your research, and suggest people in your organization that are related to the problem at hand so you can pair-program. We'd love to get your thoughts on this!!
