CLUSTER PDF-PLUGIN-ZOTERO · 3 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-08-18
Zotero AI paper assistants
This cluster consists of Zotero plugins that add an AI chat interface for asking questions about PDF papers, often beside the document viewer. The dated history is too thin to read a shape from, as no entries were recorded before the index start. Traction is led by zusia with 14 stars, followed by zotero-translate with 10 stars and zotero-ask with 0 stars.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
