Zotero, .bib files and smarter paper search

Search and import your Zotero library from chat, cite straight from .bib and .ris files, see new library files within seconds, and get papers ranked by relevance.

Your references are the backbone of everything you write. This round of updates connects Multilo to where they already live.

Zotero, from the chat

Ask about your Zotero library in plain language:

  • What do I have in Zotero on attention and working memory?
  • Export my Thesis collection as BibTeX.
  • Import these references, with their PDFs, into this project.
  • Get the full text of that paper from Zotero.

Multilo talks only to the Zotero app on your computer, through Zotero's own local connection, and nothing is sent anywhere. Searching and exporting only read. Importing always shows you what would come across and asks first.

You'll need Zotero 7 or later running, with Settings → Advanced → "Allow other applications on this computer to communicate with Zotero" turned on.

Cite straight from your reference files

Add a .bib, .ris or CSL-JSON file to your project's library and every entry in it becomes its own citable reference. Ask the assistant to cite one by its key, its DOI or its place in the list. When it cites a PDF from your library, it now uses that paper's real metadata instead of guessing.

Your library updates in seconds

PDFs and other files you add to library/ are picked up within seconds. Before, it could take a few minutes for Multilo to notice them.

Paper search ranked by relevance

When Multilo searches the academic databases, results from different sources are now merged by relevance to your question rather than by citation count, so a famous but off-topic paper no longer pushes the one you need off the list. PubMed results now include abstracts.

Also fixed

Journal impact-factor badges and DOI lookups for library papers were fixed.
