NVIDIA just turbocharged local AI search on RTX PCs. The new Hyperlink app from Nexa.ai delivers 3x faster indexing and 2x faster inference, letting users search through thousands of personal files without sending data to the cloud. What used to take 15 minutes now happens in under 5 - a game-changer for anyone drowning in documents, PDFs, and images.
NVIDIA is making a bold bet that the future of AI search isn't in the cloud - it's sitting right on your desk. The company just announced major performance boosts for Hyperlink, a local AI agent that can rifle through your entire PC's worth of documents, images, and files faster than you can say "where did I put that report."
The timing couldn't be better. While everyone's been obsessing over cloud-based AI assistants, Nexa.ai's Hyperlink app has been quietly solving a problem that hits close to home: how do you make sense of the digital chaos living on your computer without shipping your private files off to some distant server?
The new RTX-accelerated version, available today, cuts indexing time by two-thirds. That dense 1GB project folder that used to take nearly 15 minutes to process? It's now ready for intelligent search in just 4-5 minutes. LLM inference gets a 2x speed boost too, meaning you get answers faster when you're hunting for that needle in your digital haystack.
"Users can describe what they're looking for in natural language and find relevant content across documents, slides, PDFs and images," according to NVIDIA's blog post. The example they give hits different: asking for help with a "Sci-Fi book report comparing themes between two novels" and having it find the right content even when it's buried in a file called "Lit_Homework_Final.docx."
That's the kind of contextual understanding that separates modern AI agents from the keyword-matching search tools we've been stuck with for decades. Instead of hunting through folder after folder, you just ask Hyperlink what you need - and it connects the dots across your entire digital life.
The privacy angle here is huge. While competitors like Google and Microsoft are pushing cloud-based AI assistants that require uploading your files, Hyperlink keeps everything local. Your personal documents, meeting notes, and creative projects never leave your machine. It's AI with training wheels off but privacy guardrails firm.
Early adopters are already putting it to work in ways that feel surprisingly practical. Professionals are using it to prep for meetings by summarizing discussion points across scattered notes and transcripts. Students are cramming more effectively by searching through lecture slides, notes, and tutorials simultaneously. Content creators are mining years of saved ideas and drafts for their next project.
