Your best knowledge is not in chat history. It is in the folders on your disk — docs, notes, specs, past reports. The problem is your AI cannot see any of it without you pasting it in by hand.
A file-bridge fixes that. It maps your local files into the same memory layer your agent already uses, so a document becomes a retrievable memory — without uploading a single byte to a cloud.
How it works in practice:
- You point the bridge at a folder.
- Files are indexed locally (never sent out).
- When you ask a question, the agent pulls the relevant passage the same way it pulls a stored memory.
The key word is local. The index lives on your machine. Your private docs stay private.
I am building HyperMarrow, whose file-bridge is one of four building blocks (recall / intercept-record / consolidation / file-bridge). The download and docs are in my profile (?from=devto).
Which folder on your machine would you most want your AI to actually understand?
