Pieces on Windows: installation and first summary

This Windows setup tutorial walks through downloading Pieces and completing its initial onboarding. It starts at pieces.app, where the Get Started button leads to an operating system download page. The viewer selects an installation method for their machine, downloads the file, opens it, and follows the installer prompts.

The next step is signing into a Pieces account. The speaker lists email and social accounts as options and uses Google in the demonstration. After signing in, the viewer reaches the welcome screen, clicks Get Started, and enables the permissions the app requests. The transcript does not identify those permissions or explain their scope; the speaker points to a separate tutorial for that step.

Once setup finishes, the speaker says Pieces records memories of work in real time. They ask the viewer to work normally for a couple of minutes while the app generates its first summary. The tutorial then introduces single-click summaries and AI chat that uses the context of those memories. It covers installation and the first summary, but does not establish offline operation, where memory data is stored, or hardware requirements.
