Looks neat. But am concerned about security, would need to read some more use cases.

It looks like it's free, which most likely means your data is the payment.

Yeah, I have been told the same by very senior developers about other products, but I don't think it's the same with Pieces. That could be the case if Pieces only did that one single thing, but as you know, there are lots of use cases.

I even had a discussion with the CEO in which he explained the steps + addressed privacy concerns, and I have personally researched it very deeply...

Anyway, let me know what you think and your review after using Pieces. I would really appreciate it :)

Hey Ryan, I'm from team Pieces I understand your concerns about privacy and pricing. Pieces offline-first architecture allows you to use offline models, keeping all processing on your device. Our ML models ensure sensitive data to be not picked up by AI. We're currently offering Pieces for free so everyone can experience our privacy-focused copilot, with paid plans coming later this year. There are lots of use cases of Pieces, from individual students, developers to even professional team.

We're constantly improving and have a Product Hunt launch next week. Why not give it a try and let us know what you think? We'd love your feedback!

Personally, I don't like AI tools very much because most of the time they are overkill for productivity. But Pieces definitely helps, especially because it's available in the browser + VSCode + desktop, so everything is connected :)

Thanks, Antonio 🙌

I try to write in a proper structure so it's easier for others to read. There's a lot of content out there, and sometimes it can be overwhelming. I'm very happy you loved this :)

Don't worry, I don't use it for writing here or for most of my major coding tasks. It takes me days to structure, research, and write.

I only use it when I can't find a solution in the docs (programming) and I'm stuck.

Interesting! I just moved to Cursor from VSCode, but apart from having a better AI, there is nothing special about it. So, I'm very curious about this one.
