PhD student uses nightly Grok agent to auto-fill Zotero with papers and open-access PDFs
Scobleizer · x · 2026-10-12
- PhD student @drrobcincotta shows an agentic literature workflow: every night Grok finds relevant papers for his research and adds them straight into Zotero.
- Grok Bot also attaches the legal open-access PDFs, so he only chases the paywalled ones.
- Compared with the old find→hunt PDF→download→drag loop, he argues PhD time is better spent reading than retrieving.
