Gety 0.3.2 represents a major milestone in our vision to build the next-generation search engine for the AI era. This release combines lightning-fast local search with powerful AI integration capabilities, offering two core features that work seamlessly together:

1️⃣File Search — Lightning fast, 100% local

—Blazing-fast full-text search
—Full-disk indexing in minutes, not hours
—Local semantic search (purely offline, zero privacy risk)
—Preview panel with highlighted matches

If all you need is a great file search tool, Gety has you covered — delivering a Google-like local search experience right on your desktop.

2️⃣AI Integration — Give your AI real knowledge

This is where it gets exciting. Gety can securely share your local files with large language models only when you approve, making their answers more accurate, grounded, and actually useful.

—Works with any MCP client — for example, connect Claude to use Claude 4, or use ChatWise/CherryStudio to access GPT-5, Gemini 2.5 Flash, and more
—No "knowledge base" setup or file uploads — just chat naturally, and AI searches your local files using Gety when it needs to
—Talk to your LLM in normal natural language; it will automatically turn your prompts into Gety queries
