Pieces for Developers

Pieces is an AI memory layer for modern work, built by Mesh Intelligent Technologies and founded by Tsavo Knott (CEO) in Cincinnati, Ohio. Originally launched as a developer-focused code snippet manager and AI copilot for developers, Pieces has evolved into a horizontal AI memory platform that runs silently in the background on any computer, capturing everything you work on every 2 seconds — research, code, emails, chat threads, meetings, AI conversations, and more — and storing it all locally on-device by default.

The core product is Pieces Desktop, available on macOS, Windows, and Linux. It builds a living, searchable timeline of your work history across 20+ sources including Gmail, Outlook, Slack, Teams, Chrome, VS Code, JetBrains, Cursor, Figma, Notion, Zoom, Claude, ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, and Codex. You can ask anything about your past work — "what did I decide about the auth flow last Tuesday?", "what articles did I read on Rust last week?" — and get AI-generated answers grounded in your real context rather than generic responses. One-click summaries generate standup updates, morning briefs, and meeting prep from your actual captured history in seconds. The Pieces MCP Server extends this memory into any MCP-ready AI tool, giving Claude, Cursor, Codex, and other agents full awareness of your work context so their responses are grounded in what you actually know and have done.

Pieces is backed by Drive Capital (Columbus), Flat Capital (Stockholm, whose portfolio includes OpenAI, Perplexity, and xAI), Cintrifuse Capital, 1809 Capital, and RedHawk Ventures, having raised approximately $21.6M total. The company explicitly positions privacy as foundational — all captures live on-device, capture can be paused or scoped per app/site, and data can be deleted granularly by time range, source, or modality. Enterprise adds org-wide governance, approved AI provider allowlists, and BYOK controls.

Pieces has two paid tiers with no free plan. Pro costs $18.99/user/month billed monthly, or approximately $14.24/user/month billed annually (25% discount). Pro includes the full living timeline, AI recall across all captured sources, one-click summaries, multi-model AI (Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT, and local models), the Pieces MCP Server, and on-device storage with granular privacy controls.

Enterprise costs $22.99/user/month billed monthly, or $69.99/user/quarter. Enterprise adds org-wide capture and feature controls, an approved AI provider allowlist, BYOK (bring your own API keys), and admin-level governance and compliance controls for rollout across an organization.

All new users start with a 7-day free Pro trial (credit card required to start). Every plan comes with a 14-day money-back guarantee. There is no permanently free tier.
