BibGenie DocsOverview
Learn what BibGenie is, how it fits into Zotero, and where to start.
BibGenie is an AI research agent built directly into Zotero. Instead of acting like a separate web chatbot, it works inside your Zotero workspace with your library, PDFs, web snapshots, notes, and the material you are reading.
Add Zotero items, PDF attachments, snapshots, notes, selected text, page context, images, or screenshots to a conversation, then ask BibGenie to read, explain, search, organize, and preserve your research material.
Local-first by design
BibGenie's core experience runs in your Zotero environment. Chat history and many settings are stored locally. When you use a custom or local model, requests are sent directly to the provider you configure.
