Aria is an AI-powered research assistant plugin for Zotero that enhances literature review and academic writing processes. This tool leverages Large Language Models (LLMs) to provide intelligent assistance in managing and analyzing research materials within the Zotero reference management system.

Key features:
- Drag-and-Drop Referencing: Allows users to easily reference Zotero items and collections through a simple drag-and-drop interface.
- Intelligent Autocompletion: Provides autocompletion suggestions for creators (authors), tags, items, and other relevant elements.
- Visual Analysis: Utilizes GPT-4 Vision capabilities to analyze visual content within research materials.
- Chat Preservation: Enables users to save chat interactions as notes and annotations for future reference.

How it works:
1. Install Aria as a plugin within Zotero 6.
2. Access GPT-4 model through OpenAI's platform.
3. Use drag-and-drop functionality to reference Zotero items and collections.
4. Utilize autocompletion features for efficient data entry.
5. Perform visual analysis on research materials using GPT-4 Vision.
6. Save important chat interactions as notes or annotations.

Use of AI:
Aria employs Large Language Models, specifically the GPT-4 family, to power its intelligent features. The AI assists in understanding and processing research materials, providing relevant suggestions, and performing visual analysis.

AI foundation model:
The plugin is built on OpenAI's GPT-4 model family, including the GPT-4 Vision model for visual analysis capabilities.

Target users:
- Academic researchers
- Students
- Professional writers
- Anyone engaged in extensive literature review or academic writing

How to access:
Users can access Aria by installing it as a plugin within Zotero 6. Access to OpenAI's GPT-4 model family is required, and preview access to GPT-4 Vision is necessary for the visual analysis feature.
