About Linkly AI

What the tool does and who it's for

Linkly AI is a local-first document search engine specifically engineered for AI agents and knowledge workers. It transforms personal files—including PDFs, DOCX, Markdown, and images—into an AI-ready knowledge base that runs entirely on the user's machine. By leveraging the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and a Command Line Interface (CLI), it allows AI assistants like Claude or ChatGPT (via secure tunnel) to search, retrieve, and read local documents with high precision. Its 'Outline Index' feature ensures AI agents can understand the structure of large documents to avoid blind processing, while a local multilingual model enables semantic search across over 100 languages without compromising data privacy.
