What it does

Description coming soon. We haven't written a summary yet. The line above is the developer's own description; the developer's README is linked above.

What you'll need

Detected automatically
  • An API key for some featuresWorks without one: BibGenie's official model options, usable for the first question with no key. Needs a key (OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek, Google Gemini, OpenRouter and Groq): Connecting your own provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek, Gemini, OpenRouter, Groq, OpenAI-compatible endpoints) needs your own key.
  • Or: a model on your own computerIt can use a local model such as Ollama

Forks and alternatives

1 other plugin uses the same ID as this one. Every Zotero plugin carries an ID, a name tag Zotero uses to tell plugins apart. These 2 plugins carry the same one, because people copied BibGenie to make their own versions and kept its ID.Show what this means
  • You can only have one. Zotero sees them as the same plugin.
  • Installing another replaces it. If you install one of the others, it takes this one's place.
  • Check what you install. Several share this plugin's name, so make sure the file comes from the one you meant.
