Agentero
Build your library with your Agent

An agent-native literature manager for researchers. Bring your own Agent, keep papers and notes in a local Vault, and migrate from Zotero without giving up the import and BibTeX workflow you already know.

Research context shouldn't.

Research is a loop.

Your Agent should be part of it.

01

Discover research

Plaza, RSS and Cool Papers bring new papers to you. Add them to your library in one click.

Agentero — ~/vault

02

Read deeply

Open a PDF. Figures, tables and equations are recognized automatically and become explorable structure.

Understand with your Agent

Select an equation or a paragraph. Your Agent unfolds in the sidebar and answers with the paper's context.

Why this regularization term?

Turn reading into knowledge

Answers settle into NOTES as [[wikilinks]], and related papers surface on their own.

The regularizer connects to [[contrastive learning]] — it lower-bounds mutual information.

Frequently asked questions

Is Agentero a Zotero replacement?
Agentero does not ask you to abandon Zotero's bibliographic workflow. Import your library, keep the browser connector and magic import, and export BibTeX or BibLaTeX whenever you write. What it adds is a local Vault, deep PDF reading, and your own Agent inside the same research context.
Does my research leave the machine?
Not by default. Papers, PDFs, notes, and relationships stay in the local Vault you choose. Only features you turn on contact third parties — DOI lookups, a translation API you configure, or an Agent already installed and signed in on your machine.
Which Agents can I connect?
Connect local Agents over ACP, including Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and others you already run. Agentero is not locked to one model or cloud vendor. Context stays local.
Which platforms are supported, and what does it cost?
Desktop apps cover macOS, Windows, and Linux, plus a CLI. The project is MIT-licensed. Installers are on this site and GitHub Releases.
