Hunger games for devs

welcome back to the Leaderboard, the newsletter that fills up your phones storage with new apps. In today's digest, we're diving into a long term memory for your computer, a browser that does the heavy lifting, and a potential hunger games for devs.

Long term memory for your PC

Pieces Long-Term Memory Agent is an AI that remembers everything you work on across your desktop apps. It saves snippets, resurfaces past work, and helps you pick up where you left off—so you’re not stuck retracing your own steps like a detective in a case you forgot you were working on.

🔥 Our take: Ever spend 20 minutes trying to find that one thing you swore you saved somewhere? Pieces wants to be the brain you wish you had, keeping track of everything so you don’t have to. If it works, it could be a lifesaver.

Let browsers do the browsing

Opera Operator is an AI assistant built directly into the Opera browser. Instead of just answering questions, it takes action, automating tasks and streamlining workflows so you can spend less time clicking around. It promises to handle the tedious parts of browsing, making the internet feel a little more hands-free.

🔥 Our take: Browsers used to just show you the internet. Now they want to use it for you. Opera Operator is making a bet that we’d rather let AI handle the busywork instead of clicking through the same motions every day. Maybe that’s the future. Or maybe we’ll all panic the first time our browser starts doing things on its own.

Hunger games for devs?

Prism is a tool that helps engineering teams track developer productivity with real-time insights. It compares performance against premium benchmarks, giving teams a clearer picture of their workflow efficiency and areas for improvement.

🔥 Our take: Nothing says "great work" like being measured against an industry benchmark. Prism basically turns dev productivity into a leaderboard, which could be a useful tool—or an absolute nightmare, depending on how your team feels about performance tracking. If it helps teams work smarter without turning into a digital Hunger Games, it could be a win.
