What problem does it solve?
Research stacks split across Zotero, Obsidian, and NotebookLM so agents cannot search or verify briefs from one place.
Who is it for?
Builders who already use Zotero plus Obsidian (and optionally NotebookLM) and want agent-driven literature workflows before shipping.
Skip if: People who want a one-click SaaS with no local installs or who do not use any of the supported apps.
What do I get? / Deliverables
Your agent can run a single research pipeline—search, ingest, sync, verify—across your existing knowledge tools.
- Cross-tool search and ingest from your research corpus
- Synced notes between Zotero, Obsidian, and NotebookLM workflows
- Agent-verified research briefs grounded in your library
