This project provides a Zotero plugin that integrates with OpenAI's GPT models to enhance research workflows. It allows users to query their Zotero library, ask questions about selected PDF text or abstracts, summarize papers, and generate replies, targeting researchers and academics who use Zotero for reference management.

How It Works

The plugin leverages Zotero's API to access library items and PDF content. Users interact with GPT models (gpt-3.5-turbo, gpt-4) through a dedicated interface within Zotero. It supports custom "command tags" that can execute Zotero API calls and incorporate their results into prompts for GPT, enabling complex, automated research tasks.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Install the .xpi file via Zotero's Add-ons menu (Tools > Add-ons > Gear Icon > Install Add-on From File).
• Requires an OpenAI API key.
• Compatible with Zotero 6 and Zotero 7.
• Building the project requires npm install and npm run build.

Limitations & Caveats

The project is a Zotero plugin, limiting its use to users of the Zotero reference manager. While it supports various GPT models, users are responsible for managing their OpenAI API keys and associated costs.
