Nvidia and Nexa.ai have developed a new AI powered search assistant called Hyperlink that runs entirely on your own PC hardware. The goal of this tool is to give users fast, private access to insights from files stored on their computer without sending data to remote servers. The approach here is different from cloud based AI search because everything happens locally, and that has a clear advantage for privacy conscious users.
Hyperlink works on RTX AI enabled PCs. On systems with compatible Nvidia hardware the app can index large collections of files quickly. Nvidia’s recent optimizations mean a dense folder of data that would once take many minutes to process can now be ready for search in a fraction of that time. The indexing process builds a searchable structure from notes, slides, PDFs, images and other supported files. Once this layer is in place the AI can use context and intent to deliver useful responses rather than simply matching terms.
Using Hyperlink feels more like asking a question than typing keywords. You can describe what you want in plain language and the system will scan the indexed content to find relevant points. The underlying models use retrieval augmented generation techniques to understand your question, locate supporting information across documents and produce reasoned answers with clear reference points. That means you could ask for help summarizing a project based on years of notes, prep for a meeting by pulling key points from slides and transcripts, or just find a specific concept buried deep in your files.
A powerful aspect of the Hyperlink model is that your files never leave your machine. Because the search and reasoning happen on device, there is no need to upload personal or sensitive information to cloud services. Users retain full control over their data and can point the agent at specific folders or files they choose. This local processing is one of the key reasons privacy focused professionals and students see value in the tool.
Performance improvements in the latest version are notable. Nvidia reports that indexing speeds on capable RTX systems are up to three times faster than before. Inference times for the AI models that actually generate responses have doubled, reducing the wait between asking a question and receiving an answer. On a high end machine these improvements translate into a smoother, more responsive experience.
Adoption of Hyperlink has already begun among a range of users. Professionals who need quick access to relevant data across multiple file types find the contextual search useful for preparing presentations and reports. Creators and students may use it to gather insights from their own notes and study material. Even tasks like organizing receipts and other scanned documents become easier with automatic classification and search.
Hyperlink supports common file formats including text documents, presentations and images, so you can work with many different sources without extra steps. The combination of local data control, contextual AI reasoning and Nvidia’s hardware acceleration aims to put powerful search and retrieval capabilities into the hands of everyday PC users without exposing private material. All in all, with Hyperlink, the search on your PC becomes more than a tool for finding file names. It becomes a way to find ideas and meaning across your entire digital workspace.
