AI Assistance with Pieces Copilot

Pieces Copilot provides you with the ability to initiate context-rich generative AI conversations using your preferred LLM that can help answer questions, explain code, or generate code on the fly.

You can also add websites, files, and other materials as context to your conversations.

Material Management with Pieces Drive

Pieces Drive lets you save, edit, search, and share useful materials to boost your productivity and make collaboration easy.

These features help developers store their favorite code or websites in a personal, easy-to-access library.

You can quickly review past work, find related authors and links with the extra details saved with each piece, and more.

Using Pieces Copilot

You can do many powerful things with Pieces Copilot in your browser, such as starting a conversation directly in the editor with your chosen LLM about a specific code snippet, fragment, folder, or terminal output.

This is the backbone of the Pieces Copilot experience—the Ask Copilot feature.

Ask Copilot allows you to ask Pieces to explain what you're reading, helping you better understand the content. It can also generate responses filled with context outside of just your browser by referencing workflow data captured by the Long-Term Memory Engine (LTM-2).

Managing Materials

When you save material to your personal repository, Pieces automatically enriches the snippet with AI-generated tags, titles, related authors, links, descriptions, and more.

Save materials by right-clicking a selection and choosing the Save Selection to Pieces option from the pop-up window.

In this menu, you’re also able to select Ask Pieces About… to ask Pieces about the current selection so you can start a conversation right when you come across something without context-switching.

Referencing & Reusing

The Pieces Web Extension provides robust search tools to help you quickly find and access your saved materials.

You can easily find saved materials in your Web Extension by clicking the Pieces icon in your extensions list and switching to the Pieces Drive view.

At the top of the Pieces Drive, you can search, filter, and sort your materials to find anything you’d like.

Once you've found the material you want, clicking on it will open it, giving you options to manage it. Pieces will also provide options to share and copy.
