What You Can Do

No more manually pasting context — just ask “What ideas have I written about XX? use linkly-ai”, and Linkly AI’s search tool will search across all your notes on your computer, providing the relevant content to ChatGPT so it can give you well-grounded answers.
Let ChatGPT retrieve and read your relevant notes and documents on your computer through Linkly AI, then generate article drafts, speech scripts, or email replies — content sourced from your actual private materials, not generated from thin air.
You can have ChatGPT read meeting records and research reports stored on your computer. Linkly AI handles search and read, letting ChatGPT synthesize the answers — no need to flip through documents one by one.

FAQ

Please confirm your account has a ChatGPT Plus or Team subscription and that you are accessing via chatgpt.com (not the desktop client).
Log in to linkly.ai in your browser first, then authorize again. Authorization itself doesn’t depend on the tunnel; if it succeeds but ChatGPT can’t read the documents on your computer, then check that the remote access tunnel in Linkly AI Desktop is connected.
Try explicitly specifying the tool in your message, for example by adding use linkly-ai at the end, or actively select linkly-ai via the + button before sending your message.
