AI ‘Elephant in the Room’: What Is Zotero’s Strategy?

The elephant in the room: with the rise of platforms like Paperguide that combine reference management with AI‑assisted literature review, “chat with PDF”, data extraction, and AI‑driven writing support, is Zotero planning to develop similar AI‑powered capabilities natively, or does the project see this as the domain of third‑party plugins and integrations?

    As a general rule, the Zotero developers do not communicate on their roadmap.

    But if you care, there are already a number of different plugins for such use cases?
