Simply ask your research question and let our AI find the most relevant, up-to-date papers for your literature review. Stop searching, start discovering.
The Frustration of Traditional Academic Search
Traditional search engines are powerful, but they have their limits. Researchers, students, and academics constantly face the same challenges:
* Keyword Guesswork: Trying to predict the exact terms an author used.
* Information Overload: Sifting through thousands of irrelevant results to find a few gems.
* Missed Connections: Overlooking crucial papers because they don't match your specific keywords, even if they're conceptually related.
* Time Consuming: Spending hours, even days, just to build a foundational reading list.
Introducing PapersGPT AI Search: Your Intelligent Research Assistant in Zotero
PapersGPT integrates a powerful AI search engine directly into your Zotero workflow. We built it to think like a researcher. Instead of matching keywords, it understands the intent and context behind your query, delivering results that are conceptually aligned with your work.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How is PapersGPT AI Search different from Google Scholar or PubMed?
While tools like Google Scholar are excellent, they are primarily keyword-based. PapersGPT uses semantic search, which means it understands the *meaning* of your query. This results in fewer, more relevant results and helps you discover papers you might have otherwise missed.
Is the AI Academic Search feature free?
PapersGPT offers a free tier that includes a generous number of AI searches per month so you can experience its power. For heavy users and research teams, we offer affordable premium plans with unlimited access and advanced features.
Do I need an existing Zotero library to use this?
Not at all! You can start using the AI Academic Search to build a new library from scratch. If you have an existing library, it seamlessly adds new discoveries right alongside your current collection.
