BibGenie DocsLibrary Management
Use BibGenie to help organize Zotero tags, collections, metadata, and item movement.
BibGenie can do more than read papers. It can help organize your Zotero library by managing tags, creating collections, moving items, and editing metadata.
Preview before applying changes
Library management actions can modify your Zotero library. For batch operations, ask BibGenie to show a plan or preview before applying any changes.

Common Workflows
Add a shared tag

Organize by theme
Group papers into a clearer library structure based on research themes.
Example Prompts
Review the selected papers and propose a collection structure by research topic. Do not modify Zotero yet.Add the tags deep-research and llm-agent to the currently selected papers.Find papers in this collection that are missing a DOI or abstract, and return a table.Recommended Workflow
Ask BibGenie to search or list the candidate papers.
Ask for an organization plan, including which items will be modified.
Review the plan.
Explicitly authorize BibGenie to apply the changes.
Ask for a summary of what was changed.
Set clear boundaries
For batch work, specify scope: "only selected items", "only this collection", or "do not edit metadata, only add tags".
Use Extra Care With
- Moving many papers at once.
- Removing tags in bulk.
- Overwriting titles, abstracts, DOI, or other key metadata.
- Creating or reorganizing collections across many items.
For these operations, work in smaller batches and ask BibGenie to list the affected items first.
