Can Ollama be integrated with Zotero for running local LLMs?

panshang · January 25, 2025

I’m aware of plugins like zotero-gpt, but they typically only support paid APIs like ChatGPT. Is there a plugin or any other method that allows you to use Ollama to run local LLMs and integrate them with Zotero? I would appreciate any suggestions or guidance. Thank you!

Google showed me this: https://github.com/sanketsabharwal/ZoteroScholar

Here's a list of tools also: https://citationstyler.com/en/knowledge/ai-plugins-for-zotero/

We managed this at http://zotai.app

I tried zotai.app and I think it’s a really cool app that should be promoted more often!

Thanks! App is new and still a lot to come so not heavily advertised yet. Appreciate your feedback!

Is there any of these (and others) that can be used offline?

Yes, ZotAI can function 100% offline

That's cool, thanks, I'll check it out!

hey @Bial77 , I checked ZotAI and I like it. The one thing that confuses me is this:

"This is a fully functioning standalone app that integrates with Zotero through their web API. Meaning you don't need to have Zotero installed on your device to make our app work, but at least you need a Zotero account with some items added to it."

This goes contrary to it being fully offline? Or am I missing something?

Also, when is the Linux app planned?
