Downloads a .xpi file (0.2 MB). In Zotero, open Tools → Plugins and install it from the file.
In useAn estimate of how many copies of Zotero have it: Zotero downloads each new version once for every copy that has the plugin, so we count the downloads of its most-downloaded recent release. Rounded. Plugins that update from outside GitHub count low.
150
DownloadsAll-time downloads of its release files from GitHub, counting every update. Installs from elsewhere aren't counted.
332
ReleasesVersions published on GitHub. Everyone who has the plugin downloads each one again, which adds up in Downloads.

What it does

Written by AI from the README

Reads, summarises, appraises and compares articles from the item pane and a multi-article window, with answers that cite PDF pages. It checks quotes, pages and numbers against the PDF text and flags mismatches. Works with Gemini, ChatGPT, OpenAI API or IAEdu using your own account.

AI answers about papers can invent details. This restricts the model to your PDFs and checks its citations. Interface in English and European Portuguese.

Your rating of Assistente IA v1.0.21

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.
