Zotero Alternative
Everything Zotero does, plus AI that actually uses your library
Kognific manages your reference library the way Zotero does: store sources, generate citations in 6 styles, export BibTeX. Then it goes further: process every source with AI, ask questions across your collection, synthesize themes, and draft with inline citations from your own papers.
Start Researching- Reference management: store sources, track metadata, generate citations in 6 styles
- BibTeX export for LaTeX workflows, the same as Zotero
- AI processing on every source: concepts, summaries, and full-text indexing
- Ask AI across your entire library with passage-level cited answers
- Synthesis and literature review generation from your stored sources
- Supports PDFs, YouTube, audio, web articles, and scanned documents
Reference Management
Store your source library, track titles, authors, years, and publication details. Organize into collections by project or topic. Generate citations in APA 7th, MLA 9th, Chicago, IEEE, Harvard, and Vancouver.
BibTeX Export
Export BibTeX entries for any source or your entire project. Entries are auto-formatted from source metadata and ready for LaTeX compilation without manual editing.
AI Source Processing
Every source you store is also processed with AI: key concepts are extracted, a structured summary is generated, and the full text is indexed. Your library becomes queryable and synthesizable, not just searchable by title.
Ask AI Across Your Library
Ask questions across every source you have stored. Find specific claims, compare methodologies, or locate that passage you read months ago. Every answer includes passage-level citations from your documents.
Literature Synthesis and Drafting
Select sources from your library, synthesize across them to generate a literature review, and draft cited sections. Kognific writes from your stored sources, not from training data.
6 Source Types
PDFs, web articles, YouTube lectures, audio recordings, scanned image documents, and URL imports. Zotero handles PDFs and web snapshots. Kognific processes the full range of academic source formats.
