What it does

Written by AI from the README

Files new items from an inbox collection into your existing collection tree, locally with no API key. It compares titles, abstracts and tags with collection names and previews each suggestion with its score; uncertain matches go to a Needs Review collection.

Large libraries pile up uncategorised papers. This files them using your own taxonomy, never deletes anything, and is manual by default. Its developer calls it an early beta for Zotero 10.
