Linnk

Overview

Linnk.AI is an AI-powered workspace purpose-built for handling documents across language barriers. Positioned as a best-in-class AI summarizer and translator for documents, it combines advanced large language models with vision capabilities to read pages the way humans do—including handwriting, stamps, scanned forms, and complex layouts. The platform is designed for researchers, legal professionals, localization teams, and students who need to translate, summarize, and extract insights from PDFs, Word documents, PowerPoint slides, spreadsheets, eBooks, and 40+ additional formats while preserving the original structure, tables, equations, and images.

At its core, Linnk supports translation across 154 languages and dialects with true layout preservation. Instead of producing raw text swaps, it reads the document's layout, tables, math, and imagery, then rebuilds them in the target language. The system goes beyond traditional OCR pipelines by using vision-language models that interpret scanned documents, handwritten annotations, and screenshots directly—eliminating the need for separate OCR preprocessing. Free users can preview up to 20 pages without signing up, and all free-tier files are automatically deleted after 72 hours, with paid plans offering higher limits and custom retention policies.

Beyond translation, Linnk functions as a research assistant. Users can upload a research paper and ask questions in their native language, receiving instant answers grounded in the source with paragraph-level citations. The summarizer condenses long documents into TL;DRs with citations, extracts key insights, and identifies conceptual connections. The platform also includes a citation generator for automatic formatting, a YouTube summarizer for video content, and a Document-to-Mindmap feature that converts documents into visual knowledge maps. A browser extension for Chrome, Firefox, and Edge enables instant summarization and translation of web content without leaving the browser.

Linnk is trusted by teams in over 140 countries and has translated over 2.4 million documents. It serves multiple workflows: researchers reading foreign-language economics papers, legal teams translating contracts with auditable side-by-side reviews, localization teams cutting vendor spend, and students building multilingual literature libraries with semantic search. With support for 50+ document formats, an Agent CLI for automated workflows, and enterprise-grade privacy controls, Linnk positions itself as a comprehensive multilingual document workspace for academic and professional excellence.
