    Description

    Short Intro: Pieces for Developers is a local-first AI memory platform built by Tsavo Knott, Mack Myers, and Mark Widman at Mesh Intelligent Technologies, founded in Cincinnati, Ohio in 2020. The tool captures developer workflow context across IDEs, browsers, terminals, and collaboration tools, then surfaces it through long-term memory that persists for up to nine months. Knott previously co-founded MeshMyCampus, acquired by Idera, and Runtime, which was open-sourced to Google Chrome.
