Pieces is an all-in-one productivity tool that gives developers complete contextual awareness of their workflow from browsers to Slack and other IDEs, no matter the source. Leverage the power of the Pieces Copilot, the Long-Term Memory Engine, and Pieces Drive—all directly within Visual Studio.

Enhanced AI Assistance

Pieces provides comprehensive AI-driven capabilities, enabling developers to:

• Query cloud and local LLMs directly within Visual Studio
• Generate context-aware code solutions and suggestions
• Access Long-Term Memory across your workflows and apps
• Explain and comment code intelligently to enhance readability
• Troubleshoot and fix bugs efficiently with contextual insights

Pieces Copilot

Initiate a conversation with the LLM of your choice, providing as much context as needed by adding files, folders, or even entire repositories to the chat.

To initiate Copilot from the editor, select a portion of code, right-click, and hover over the Pieces item in the context menu.

Quick Actions

Pieces can Comment or Explain your code inline with one click using Codelens actions. Generate meaningful, insertable documentation explaining the purpose and function of your code, or get a breakdown of some code logic.

Pieces Drive

Pieces allows you to save materials such as code snippets into your Pieces Drive, and enriches them with AI-generated metadata, such as tags, titles, authorship details, and descriptions, keeping everything organized and accessible.

• Save Current Selection to Pieces: Right-click a code block and save it to your repository with AI-enriched metadata, ensuring easy access to frequently used materials.
