Introduction to Workstream Activity

Workstream Activity is your main hub for viewing all summaries, workflow context, and related information gathered by the Long-Term Memory (LTM-2) Engine.

Overview

The Workstream Activity view in the Pieces Desktop App integrates with the new-and-improved Long-Term Memory Engine (LTM-2) to capture and summarize your recent tasks, discussions, code reviews, and more.

By automatically generating concise roll-ups of your workflow, Workstream Activity aims to eliminate the repetitive context-setting required by most AI tools.

LTM-2—also referred to as Long-Term Memory Engine—is available as part of PiecesOS, which is required for the Pieces Desktop App.

Make sure you have the latest versions installed to take advantage of this feature.

Main View

Once you access Workstream Activity, you’ll see two main UI elements:

  1. Activity Sidebar (Left Panel): A chronological list of your LTM roll-ups. Each roll-up is timestamped (e.g., “9:04 AM – 9:14 AM”) with a descriptive title (such as “Documentation & LTM-2 Prep”).

  2. Roll-Up Details (Right Panel): Selecting a roll-up displays its sections and bullet points, including embedded links, references, or code snippet IDs.

Long-Term Memory (LTM-2) Engine

Long-Term Memory is an advanced memory agent that captures your workflow context at repeated intervals and preserves it for up to nine months.

Instead of starting fresh with every AI query, you can use LTM-2’s persistent memory to pick up any past conversation, code snippet, or link you’ve encountered.

LTM Roll-Ups

Each roll-up is a one-page summary that includes information and specific sections, such as:

  • Core Tasks & Projects: A concise, but rich overview of projects, tasks or specific initiatives you’ve worked on—including problems and solutions (and how you came to that solution).

  • Key Decisions & Discussions: Important conversations or choices you made, mentioning with whom you had discussions or meetings or who shared critical details that had implications on your workflow.

  • Documents & Code Reviewed: References to any files, articles, or snippets you accessed, often deep-linked with clickable URLs (where applicable).

  • Follow-Up Actions: Unfinished items, suggestions for next steps, and reminders.

Interacting with LTM Roll-Ups

Each roll-up offers multiple interaction points:

  • Start Copilot Chat: Immediately open a Pieces Copilot Chat session scoped to that roll-up’s context, eliminating the need to re-explain your background or goals.

  • Copy / Download: Export the roll-up as plain text or Markdown, letting you archive or share your summary outside of Pieces.

  • Deep Links: Open references directly in your browser. If the roll-up mentions a specific blog or document, you can jump straight to it from within Pieces.

If you remember that a teammate shared a solution link last month, you can locate that exact snippet, conversation, or link by searching the relevant keyword in Workstream Activity.

Privacy & Source Control

Your data is yours to manage.

At any time, even after a summary has been generated, you can disable sources from which LTM captures workflow data. Since LTM is available for use outside of the Pieces Desktop App, there are two locations from which you can make these changes.

In the Workstream Activity view, there is an LTM Access Control modal designated by a grid-like icon—clicking this opens the modal, where you can toggle or un-toggle data capture from specific sources.

In the PiecesOS task bar window, you can disable any sources you don’t wish to capture (e.g., personal browsing activity or data from messaging applications) through the LTM Access Control panel.

Events gathered from disabled sources will be removed from your roll-ups so they don’t appear in Workstream Activity or Pieces Copilot Chats.

Use Cases

Powered by LTM-2, the Workstream Activity feature both centralizes all of your workflow context and removes one of the biggest productivity blockers and issues with AI-assisted development today—short-term memory.

  • No More Repetitive Context: Avoid re-hashing the same information every time you prompt an AI assistant.

  • Project Continuity: Instantly pick up where you left off if you return to a project after a break.

  • Comprehensive Search: Quickly find any discussion, document, or link from the last nine months.

  • Flexible Exports: Share roll-ups with colleagues or store them in external systems for auditing or collaboration.
