Upgrade StorageWild idea: NotebookLM-like search in Zotero
Is Zotero considering using LLM to explore our libraries? After playing around with NotebookLM by Google, I was able to find some things easier than with advanced search. It's not perfect, but the text processing was pretty cool.
A) Zotero dev need to set up a LLM server, and you need to be online to allow Zotero software to access/use it. And of course this server will have a cost.
B) set up a tinyLLM on your computer, I am not sure how doable is that, how much resource will use.
I am wondering if it's more doable just have a zotero extension able to connect the articles on Zotero with NotebookLM directly?
You could use a Zotero extension that interfaces to an API e.g. OpenAI API and allows you to specify the API URL. You can then use either a paid "online" API or a local compatible model like https://home.nomic.ai/gpt4all
Meanwhile 2 sloppy options:
1. Notebooklm - https://www.threads.net/@mushtaqbilalphd/post/DAvXNUGMqqU/googles-notebooklm-can-turn-any-research-paper-into-a-podcastheres-how-can-integ
2. Chatgpt: https://www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPTPro/comments/18kgfg9/i_made_a_gpt_that_connect_chatgpt_to_your_zotero/
Of course you’ll need a subscription to use it and I think it may be that it only works with files that have a DOI.
(They’ve also got a more general rag-based chat but the underlying search is not as good as google scholar and the results depend on the papers found in the search.)
