What is PapersGPT?
PapersGPT is an AI-powered tool designed to enhance research workflows within the Zotero reference management software. It allows users to interact with their PDF documents directly in Zotero using various advanced Large Language Models (LLMs), including commercial options like OpenAI's GPT series, Anthropic's Claude models, Google's Gemini, and DeepSeek, as well as open-source models like Llama 3.2, Gemma 2, Phi-3.5, and Mistral for Mac users. This integration facilitates quicker reading, understanding, and processing of academic papers and other documents.
By enabling chat functionalities with single or multiple PDFs simultaneously, PapersGPT helps users generate literature reviews, gain insights, and manage documents more efficiently without leaving the Zotero environment. A key focus is data privacy and security, as all data processing occurs locally on the user's machine, ensuring that sensitive information is not uploaded to the cloud. Users need their own API keys for commercial LLMs, while some open-source models are offered freely for Mac users.
