What You Can Do

Local LLM + Linkly AI local knowledge base — data never leaves your machine. Linkly AI’s read tool reads confidential contracts, medical records, and other sensitive content stored on your computer directly, with no data ever uploaded to the cloud — ideal for scenarios with strict privacy requirements.
The Linkly AI service runs locally, so even without network access, the local model can use the search tool to search your knowledge base and respond — no dependency on any cloud service.
Using the same Linkly AI knowledge base as a benchmark, run retrieval and Q&A with models like Llama, Mistral, and Qwen, comparing which model is better at understanding your document types.
