Text Shot: Today anyone can access FutureHouse’s agents at platform.futurehouse.org. The company’s platform launch generated excitement in the industry, and stories have started to come in about scientists using the agents to accelerate research. One of FutureHouse’s scientists used the agents to identify a gene that could be associated with polycystic ovary syndrome and come up with a new treatment hypothesis for the disease. Another researcher at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory used Crow to create an AI assistant capable of searching the PubMed research database for information related to Alzheimer’s disease. Scientists at another research institution have used the agents to conduct systematic reviews of genes relevant to Parkinson’s disease, finding FutureHouse’s agents performed better than general agents.

Text Shot: In case you missed it in favor of the Grammy Awards last night, OpenAI surprised the world late Sunday evening with the announcement of its new “Deep Research” modality, an AI agent available to ChatGPT Pro subscription plan ($200/month) users that’s designed to save humans hours by researching, well, “deeply” and expansively across the web for given topics and compiling professional quality reports across specialized domains from business to science, medicine, marketing and more. Users of ChatGPT Pro (and soon, ChatGPT Plus, Team, Enterprise and Edu) in the U.S. will be able to access Deep Research by clicking on the option underneath the prompt entry/compose bar at the bottom of the ChatGPT website and apps.

Screenshot of Zotero Forum user question by jrboehnke: Title: Bulk upload of references via Magic Wand + DOIs I need to read about 50k references into Zotero. Given that I need to get those references from Scopus, there is no way for me to get these in one go as a .RIS or other sensible file (batches of only 2000 are possible). To circumvent this problem, I wanted to use the Magic Wand read-in of DOIs (I can get those in .csv format at least in chunks of 20k entries out of the database). Copy-pasting them into the magic wand tool ended with only some of the references being converted into Zotero entries and no way to tell, which ones were missing. Checking in small batches showed that this is not an issue with the DOIs, they are recognised fine. After some trial and error, it seems that about 200 DOIs are consistently translated into Zotero entries. Is there a way to prepare, read-in, provide... the DOIs in a different format or way so that the Magic Wand works?
Any thoughts much appreciated.
