What is this?

Linkly AI is a free AI knowledge base, a standalone AI context layer running locally. With Linkly AI, you can:
  • Build AI-native knowledge bases from any documents and directories on your computer
  • Quickly retrieve accurate context to use with any AI chatbot
  • Use it as a tool that can be directly accessed by AI chatbots and agents supporting protocols like MCP
  • Trace knowledge sources and find the origin of references
It is not:
  • Not another AI chatbot
  • Not another note-taking app, you continue writing notes in your favorite note-taking software
  • Not a knowledge base that requires frequent importing and switching
In short, this is a completely free, local, AI-native knowledge base. Your computer is your AI knowledge base.
Linkly AI draws inspiration from the excellent lightweight knowledge base feature called Project in ChatGPT and Claude. If you’ve used these products, you’ll find Linkly AI very familiar.

Who is it for?

Linkly AI is built for all knowledge workers, creators, students, researchers, and small teams who struggle with managing large amounts of knowledge fragments. Have you ever faced these challenges?

Information Overload

PDFs, DOCXs, web pages, notes and other documents scattered everywhere, making them hard to find and overwhelming to read

Time-Consuming Organization

Manually classifying, tagging, and creating folders takes far more time than it’s worth

Inefficient Search

Finding documents relies on memory and filenames, while the content you need is hidden somewhere in a file you only vaguely remember

Knowledge Hoarding Without Utilization

Content collected and organized with great effort remains unused, creating vast “knowledge inventory” that provides little value
These problems have never been efficiently solved until the emergence of LLMs. LLM, RAG, Agent and other technologies have effectively addressed the challenges of knowledge collection and utilization. However, when you use most AI knowledge base products on the market developed with these technologies, you’ll find the following issues:
Most AI knowledge bases use only simple RAG to search document fragments, with poor results.
Most AI knowledge bases run in the cloud, forcing us to upload our data to their servers. If security issues arise or service providers misuse data, our private information could be compromised.Some providers have even used user data to train their models.
Most AI knowledge bases offer only a few GB of free capacity, and require paid subscriptions for more features and the best models.
AI knowledge bases were meant to solve the problem of scattered knowledge management, but users end up having to move knowledge between multiple AI applications, defeating the purpose.Unable to manage conveniently in one place, unable to use in your most frequently used AI applications, always requiring extra effort for migration.
