About Pieces
Pieces is an AI-powered memory layer for modern work that runs in the background on your computer, automatically capturing activity from dozens of apps including Gmail, Slack, Chrome, Zoom, VS Code, and more. It forms a searchable, chronological timeline of everything you do—research, chats, emails, notes, meetings—so you can ask questions about past work, filter by time/topic/person/tool, and instantly generate recaps, standup updates, meeting prep, and morning briefs. Designed for privacy, data lives on-device by default, and capture is automatic with opt-in controls. Pieces turns what already happened into what you need to understand, do, or create next, for both individuals and teams.
