What it does

Written by AI from the README

Finds related papers in your library, scored from titles, abstracts, authors and tags, with optional AI re-ranking. You choose which to link, view the links as a network, and can generate AI keyword tags. AI features need an API key.

Zotero's related-items links are made by hand. This suggests candidates you confirm, and it only searches your own library.

What you'll need

We haven't detected any setup requirements. That isn't the same as none: check the developer's README.

Your rating of AI Related Papers v0.1.2

Your review is public, under the name you give, and published with the directory's data under CC BY 4.0. Links are removed. We never store your IP address: a scrambled code made from it is kept for 30 days to catch fake reviews. Every review is checked before it's published; how fake ones are spotted isn't published, so it can't be gamed.
