First public release of DeepRead.

Install

  1. Download zotero-copilot-0.0.2.xpi below.
  2. In Zotero: Tools → Plugins → ⚙ (gear) → Install Plugin From File...
  3. Pick the downloaded file. Restart Zotero if prompted.
  4. Open Settings → DeepRead and set your Anthropic or Gemini API key.

What's included

  • Single-paper chat sidebar in the PDF reader (Anthropic Claude / Google Gemini, streaming)
  • Right-click "Ask DeepRead" on PDF text selections
  • Collection-level RAG: right-click any collection → "Analyze with DeepRead" → draggable / resizable floating chat with retrieval over all papers in the collection
  • Native Zotero preferences pane
  • Save chat transcripts as Zotero child notes
  • Collapsible sidebar, copy / select-all / raw-text toolbar on every assistant message

Compatibility

  • Tested on Zotero 9.0.1 / macOS 14
  • Plugin id: zotero-copilot@xiangweiw.dev (kept for backward compat with internal pref keys)
  • Manifest accepts Zotero 6.999 → *; should work on Zotero 7.x and later

Known limitations

  • Drag-to-select inside chat bubbles is unreliable in Zotero's chrome iframe — use the toolbar buttons (✎ / ⊟ / ⧉)
  • Gemini free tier has rate limits on some models; gemini-2.5-flash works
  • Collection RAG requires Zotero full-text indexing of PDFs (auto-triggered)
