Pieces for Developers Reviews & Product Details

I have been using Pieces for a while now, and I love it. I do have subscription to gpt, however, I mostly like local LLMs and sometimes different LLMs to check the performances. Pieces provide alternatives for accessing both GPT subscription and also local LLM. I do work with lots of code snippets as text notes, and pieces has become goto tool to add snippets and access them when ever needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Chrome extension for managing the code snippet is handy however has some issues with some code previews in sites. I had to disable them and use it manually most of the time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A versatile AI local server with the ability to access online servers such as chatGPT and claude, and of course local access to AI like LLAMA and Gemma for safe use and emphasize on privacy in work.

Coding, working with files, access in Windows, VScode and browsers, which greatly increases the speed of work.

It has been very useful for me and I am satisfied with the fact that I don't need to use dozens of other tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pieces for Developers streamlines code snippets, notes, and other resources, making it easy to save, search, and reuse them seamlessly. It enhances productivity by integrating with IDEs and offering intelligent recommendations, which simplifies the workflow and keeps everything organized in one place.

One downside of Pieces for Developers is that it can feel a bit resource-heavy at times, which may slow down performance, especially in larger projects. Additionally, the learning curve for some features might be steep for new users. More customization options could also enhance the experience.Another downside is that the "copy to clipboard" feature isn't as smooth or reliable as expected, which can be frustrating when trying to quickly transfer snippets or notes.

As a student and career transitioner, Pieces has been immensely helpful when my other copilot options (ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot) failed in understanding the context and providing code clarifications based on latest versions of frameworks I am using. The possibility to add code snippets from anywhere during browsing (Chrome) or to chat with a copilot to clarify unclear answers from online searches/forums. I use it frequently to refactor my codebase, to debug issues and for implementing commonly used code snippets. The setup was a bit complex for the first time I wanted to use. But Pieces provided installation guides and usage tips that came in handy to leverage the best out of this open source tool. The best part of it all - I get to choose the LLM engine I want to use and all my chats are localised. I hope this service remains approachable and open source to every upcoming developer!

The only downside, which is minor, would be the processes consuming the CPU in the background during updates. I have the luxury to spare a few GBs in the memory but not every upcoming developer could afford that. However, I have seen reduced consumption of memory by the background processes since June.

Using Pieces now makes me wonder how I ever did development without it prior to using it. I love the all in one UI how I have everything I need to utilize within one window at my disposal. All of those years hunting down Stack Overflow and now we have essentially a development environment suited specifically for developers and engineers to keep focused on what matters most, the code!

I have seen the AI, although thorough, get wacky sometimes and suggest un-necessary revisions or altercations within the code. Sometimes the search query may need refined, but overall - they have really hit the nail on head with this Suite. I'm in love!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pieces for Developers is an incredibly efficient tool for organizing and managing code snippets. The seamless integration with popular IDEs and the ability to quickly save and retrieve code snippets directly from your workspace have significantly streamlined my workflow. The smart search feature is a standout, making it easy to find exactly what I need, even in large libraries of snippets. The intuitive user interface and tagging system also enhance productivity, helping me stay organized without any hassle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Pieces for Developers excels in many areas, there are occasional performance lags when dealing with larger snippet libraries. Additionally, the learning curve for new users can be a bit steep, particularly when trying to fully leverage all the advanced features. A more robust set of tutorials or in-app guidance could help users unlock the full potential of the tool more quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pieces is an innovative tool that goes beyond being an AI chat. Its ability to store code snippets and work with specialised web systems makes it ideal for personal and client projects. The built-in library and access to code files takes productivity to the next level. Pieces not only understands code, but also facilitates productivity, especially with the Live Context feature that analyses open web pages in real time, further enhancing the experience.

The community around Pieces is one of its greatest assets. As a developer, I have relied heavily on the clipboard and multiple Word documents, which has always been inefficient. Pieces has changed this process with its intelligent code snippet manager, which acts as an intelligent coding companion, helping me to extract and understand code effectively.

It also makes it very easy to save code snippets from the web, social media posts or directly from my IDE for future reference. Pieces' ability to automatically add relevant tags and links to these snippets without any additional intervention is impressive. The fact that the machine learning takes place on the device ensures that my code remains private and does not need to be sent to external models.

Finally, the Pieces interface is intuitive and the team behind the tool is clearly committed to its continuous improvement. Even though I haven't found a use for all the features yet, the ambition and potential for future expansion keeps me excited about what's to come. Pieces has not only changed the way I work, but it is a tool I have not seen before and it continues to surprise me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Pieces is how it enhances productivity for meby acting as a powerful AI-driven assistant. The tool integrates into my workflow, letting me manage and reuse code snippets across platforms. Its contextual understanding of your coding environment makes problem-solving much easier, like having a second brain dedicated to development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike about Pieces is that its features and integrations overwhelmed me at first. The tool’s complexity and advanced AI capabilities have a learning curve for those not used to a tool like this. Also, some devs might find it too dependent on the specific integrated environments, which might limit its usability for those who frequently switch development environments Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a developer, I was blown away when I tried Pieces™. This AI coding assistant has genuinely transformed my workflow. Integrating seamlessly with my favorite tools, Pieces makes solving complex development tasks feel effortless. I particularly love how it helps me save code snippets for later use, which has significantly reduced context switching for me. The intelligent workflows have made my development journey smoother and more intuitive. With Pieces, all the little things are proactively managed, allowing me to focus on the bigger picture. I highly recommend it to any developer looking to boost their productivity! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AI misses the context sometimes, but that doesn't have anything to do with Pieces directly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
