What Hyperlink by Nexa AI is
Hyperlink is an offline, privacy first file agent built by Nexa AI. The listing describes it as local first: the AI model runs on your machine, files are indexed on your device, and nothing has to be uploaded to a server for the search to work. That design choice is the whole point of the product, because it lets you ask questions about confidential documents without sending them anywhere. It reads PDF, Word, Markdown, plain text, presentation, and image files, and it can even pull text out of screenshots and photos so visual notes become searchable. Answers arrive in natural language and carry clickable references back to the original file, so you can verify a claim instead of trusting a summary. The listing states it is free for personal and workspace use right now, and that any future professional or enterprise features will be clearly marked as paid.
What you can do with it
- Search across several local folders at once for a specific detail.
- Ask plain language questions and get answers with source references.
- Have new and edited files indexed automatically as they change.
- Search text that is trapped inside screenshots, photos, and visual notes.
Who it is for
- Knowledge workers who spend hours digging through local folders.
- Students reviewing notes, slides, and reading material before an exam.
- Anyone handling confidential files that should not leave the machine.
- Project managers who need to pull terms and dates out of signed documents.
What to watch out for
Hyperlink is still in beta, so expect rough edges, occasional instability, and features that may shift between releases. Because everything runs locally, speed and answer quality depend on your hardware and on which local model you choose, and local models are generally smaller and less capable than hosted ones. Search only covers folders you explicitly connect, so if a document lives outside those folders it simply will not be found. Installation takes a real download and setup step rather than a quick browser sign up. The current free status is a snapshot, and the description notes that professional or enterprise features may arrive as paid options later.
