Save, share, generate and understand code snippets & concepts to boost your productivity during online research and problem-solving.
Pieces for Developers: Copilot & Code Capture Extension
In 2022, our team set out on a journey to build the most advanced code snippet management and workflow context platform yet.
The debut release of our Flagship Desktop App got the ball rolling, and now our Web Extension aims to take developers' productivity to the next level, incorporating key capabilities and our users favorite features directly into their browser.
Take your coding research & problem-solving in the browser to the next level with the Pieces Copilot. Interact with the copilot from any webpage right within your browser’s side panel. Ask questions about code or content on a page, gain clarity on keywords or patterns within code snippets, ask Pieces Copilot to generate a sample using an SDK you’re researching, and even use it to help you understand PRs.
Plus, as you navigate your workflow, the Pieces Web Extension allows you to effortlessly capture, manage, share, and discover code snippets & other developer materials, such as code screenshots, with the click of a button.
The Pieces Web Extension will become your go-to development partner transforming your workflow with efficiency and organization.
**Getting Started**
To use the Pieces Web Extension, you must have Pieces OS installed. Pieces OS is our background service running offline and on-device required to enable:
- Individual products in the Pieces for Developers Suite to communicate
- Local, Private, and Secure Machine Learning Models
- Real-Time Search and Suggestions
Pieces OS installation comes with the Pieces for Developers Desktop App where your saved snippets and Pieces Copilot conversations can also be viewed and managed.
**Features**
● Pieces Copilot - Your AI companion in browser
Found a snippet but don’t know what it does? Ask Pieces Copilot, which is designed to help you get the most out of your time in the browser.
Easily access Pieces Copilot by clicking on the “Ask Copilot” button when hovering over code blocks, or from context menu Pieces actions on your selections.
You can even choose between local, cloud, and custom LLMs to power Pieces Copilot. Simply, go to the runtime model configuration window from the chats screen and change the model to one you would like to use. Our list of models is extensive including ChatGPT, GPT-4, Llama 2, PaLM 2, and more. Our extension can work with local models even when you’re offline.
