What is Linkly AI?

Linkly AI is an open-source AI knowledge base that runs locally as a desktop application.

With Linkly AI, you can:

  • Have AI conversations with documents stored on your personal computer, without any limitations
  • Use LLM services from any provider, or local model deployments like Ollama
  • Find documents in your knowledge base using vague descriptions
  • Use DeepResearch tools to research large volumes of documents and generate reports
  • Simply use it as another AI chatbot, but with a more elegant interface

In essence, this is a completely free, open-source, elegant, and truly functional artificial intelligence second brain that belongs entirely to you.

Linkly AI draws inspiration from the excellent lightweight knowledge base application 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, students, researchers, technical professionals, and small teams who struggle with knowledge management.

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 AI.

AI search has effectively addressed the challenges of knowledge collection and quick browsing. People hoped that AI knowledge bases would solve the difficulties of organizing and using knowledge. However, when you use most AI knowledge base products on the market, you’ll find the following issues:

Core Advantages

The Linkly AI development team employs leading concepts and technical architecture, committed to creating the best, future-oriented AI knowledge base application.

Local-First Approach

Linkly AI is a client that runs entirely on your personal computer, with all data stored locally. If you can deploy models yourself, you can even run it completely offline.

Open Source

Linkly AI embraces open source from Day One, based on a firm belief in the future of knowledge freedom and user sovereignty. Making the core code public means—you can personally review every line of logic to confirm that data only flows on your local machine; developers worldwide can also jointly improve performance and security, making the technology transparent and verifiable.

Only in this way can AI enhance everyone in a safer and more controllable manner.

Data Security

Thanks to local operation and open-source strategy, Linkly AI offers absolute data security.

Superior Accuracy

Linkly AI focuses on the knowledge base domain, implementing cutting-edge RAG, Agentic, GraphRAG, and memory technologies. Without model inference cost constraints, we can use the best technical combinations to ensure optimal Q&A results.

Rich Knowledge Applications

According to DIKW knowledge pyramid theory, people create knowledge bases to use them. Linkly AI includes multiple knowledge applications to help you better collect, organize, and use knowledge.

We’ve organically integrated traditional readers, web clipping, and internet connectivity to help users complete data collection more conveniently and automatically.

First-Class User Experience

A good product experience brings joy to users. We’re committed to providing a powerful AI knowledge base while maintaining simplicity and elegance, without requiring users to learn excessive technical jargon, making it accessible to everyone.
