PapersGPT
AI Research Agent for Zotero — Whole-Library Search, Literature Radar, Multi-PDF Chat & AutoPilot
PapersGPT is a professional AI research tool for Zotero, built for deep research across your entire library. More than chatting with a single PDF — go one step beyond: ask questions across your entire library, discover and track new research with Literature Radar, compare multiple papers side-by-side, and let AutoPilot batch-read collections overnight, with structured results saved directly into Zotero Notes.
It supports 30+ cloud LLMs (GPT-6, Claude 5.5, Gemini 4, DeepSeek v4.1, Grok…), built-in local models that run fully offline, or your own API key. Quick to start: a built-in trial of cloud AI chats — no API key needed.

🧭 PapersGPT at a Glance
✨ Core Features
1. Whole-Library Search — ask across every paper in your Zotero library
PapersGPT indexes your entire Zotero library (thousands of PDFs). Just ask in natural language and get answers based on all your papers — not just the one you have open. Works at 10,000+ paper scale, and pairs well with multi-PDF chat for cross-paper analysis.
2. Literature Radar — discover & track new research
Subscribe to your research topics and Literature Radar monitors arXiv, PubMed, Semantic Scholar, Europe PMC, Crossref, bioRxiv, medRxiv for you. New papers arrive as a daily digest inside Zotero, visualized against your existing collections — new research finds you, instead of you chasing databases. Queries go straight from your machine to the source APIs, with no relay server.
3. Multi-PDF Chat & Comparison
Beyond chatting with a single PDF, you can chat with multiple PDFs at once: select several papers or an entire collection and compare methods, results and controversies side-by-side. Synthesize the cross-paper results into structured drafts or Zotero notes.
“Compare the sample sizes and p-values of all 50 clinical trials in my 'Cardiology' folder.”
4. AutoPilot — batch-read 100+ papers overnight
Set your research question once and AutoPilot autonomously reads the whole collection, extracting hypotheses, methods and findings into structured Zotero Notes while you sleep. Works with cloud models or fully local LLMs, protecting your privacy.
5. Verifiable Evidence — click-to-jump citations
Every AI response includes precise citations; clicking one takes you straight to the exact paper being cited. Accuracy you can verify, not just trust.
