Pieces
Pieces runs a desktop agent that continuously captures app activity, chats, emails, tabs and meetings into a chronological, searchable timeline and surfaces one‑click summaries you can send into supported AI assistants for richer prompts and context-aware replies.
Pieces offers a Pro plan at $18.99 per user per month (billed monthly) and an Enterprise plan at $22.99 per user per month (billed monthly); new users get a 7-day free trial but must supply a card to start.Is Pieces right for you?
Good for
- Founders who want an on‑device continuous activity memory that surfaces summaries and supplies context to other AI assistants.
- Stores captured history on the user’s machine by default.
- Continuously captures activity from apps and websites to form a searchable timeline.
Keep in mind
- Trial onboarding requires a payment card on file.
- By default it captures what’s visible in the focused application unless you opt out for specific sources.
- Confirm operating‑system compatibility and enterprise encryption/retention details before deployment — pages show on‑device storage but omit platform and full encryption specs.
Pricing and plan limits
The pricing page lists monthly and yearly billing for Pro and monthly, quarterly, or yearly billing for Enterprise; Enterprise is also offered at $69.99 per user per quarter. The site specifies a 7-day free trial and a 14-day money-back guarantee and requires a card to start the trial.
