Have online AI like chatgpt and cloud and local like Mamed and Ali integrated in the operating system, browsers and IDEs, and it's great!

I recently started using Pieces for Edge and I'm really enjoying it. This extension makes it super easy to save and organize stuff I find while browsing. I love how I can quickly save code snippets, images, and text with just a click. Finding my saved items later is a breeze thanks to the good search feature. The AI suggestions are pretty helpful too, often giving me useful tips. It fits nicely into my Edge browser, so it's always there when I need it. While it took a bit to get used to, I now find it saves me lots of time when I'm doing research or working on projects online. It's become a great addition to my browsing toolkit.

By far the best AI copilot I've ever used. The browser extension is just icing on the cake for this revolutionary product. The WPE and Live Context is breaking my mind and I cannot wait for what else Pieces has in store.
