Linkly AI

Linkly AI is a local document search engine for AI agents. It is built to turn a computer’s documents into an agent-ready knowledge base, with retrieval, filtering, reading, and large-scale research as its stated use cases. The page presents it as an AI-native local full-text search tool for finding documents on a computer by keywords or descriptive sentences.

It supports PDF, DOCX, HTML, Markdown, EPUB, image files through OCR, and many other formats. Search is described as both keyword-based and semantic, with fuzzy search and matching across 100+ languages. The product also includes four tools for AI agents, official Skills, and an outline index that builds an outline for every document and progressively reveals relevant sections so an AI can read large documents in a more targeted way.

Linkly AI is designed to integrate with AI assistants and agents through CLI and MCP. The page says it can connect to AI workflows in seconds and that any MCP-compatible AI can access the document knowledge base. It also mentions a global hotkey, full keyboard support, a clean interface, and a minimalist design. The software runs locally, and the page says documents never leave the computer, with no cloud uploads and no third-party access to files. Indexing is described as completing in as fast as 5 minutes, with queries returning in under 0.5 seconds. A lightweight installer of about 20MB is also stated.

The product is available for macOS, Windows, and Linux, including Mac ARM64 and x64, Windows x64, and Linux AppImage x64. The page says it is available to download for free. It also references documentation, release notes, an Agent Skills integration path, an MCP server, and a linkly-ai-cli resource.
