What it does

Written by AI from the README

An AI sidebar for the PDF reader: chat with a paper and auto-highlight conclusions, methods and gaps in colours. It also extracts reusable English phrasing and evidence into a writing knowledge base. Needs an LLM API; Voyage AI and MinerU are optional.

Speeds up reading and builds a store of sentences and findings for later writing. The plugin is free, but model services may charge; local OpenAI-compatible models work.

What you'll need

Your rating of Zotero Superior Intelligence v2.0.0

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.
