Ah, good question! I'd say not quite. Managing a knowledge bank of your papers is a core feature, but I don't think I'd want to get _as_ extensive as Zotero (being your entire knowledge storage space/citations generation).
Semantic Reader looks really cool! Just gave it a spin. Unless I'm mistaken, it seems like their AI assistive features are more designed for efficient skimming and inline-citation lookup in the PDF, rather than open-ended question/answering. Really love their design.
My approach is for user-driven highlights with AI help. As in, you can upload your paper and directly ask questions ("Why did they only include the HotPotQA dataset?", "What scores did they achieve with the fine-tuned model?", etc). When the AI responds, it provides citations inline to reference text. You can then click on the reference text to take you there in the doc.
Hey! Very cool, thank you for sharing. I use Zotero today, is that where you're headed from a product roadmap perspective?

Features I'm thinking about:
- Dynamic podcast generation (journal -> audio summary)
- Model switching for diversity of responses
- Paper search tool for finding relevant papers
- Improve note-taking feature so people can work on writing their own papers in-app
- Improve the citation protocol to make it more reliable
- Diversify input types beyond just PDFs (include audio files, multiple documents, plaintext documents)
How's your experience on Zotero?
How does it compare to other tools like https://www.semanticscholar.org/product/semantic-reader or many others? What was missing there?

Might be easier to visualize using some of the demo screenshots on the README: https://github.com/sabaimran/annotated-paper.
Hopefully that answers your question?
