Pieces
The AI memory layer for modern work
Pieces is a memory layer for your computer. It captures your activity across many apps (email, chat, meetings, code editors, AI tools, browsers, etc.) and stores it on-device as a searchable timeline. You can ask questions about your past work, generate recaps and standup updates, and connect the memory to MCP-ready AI assistants so they have context about your work.
