JotBot is an AI-powered note-taking assistant that will supercharge your writing.

It'll help you beat the writer's block, brainstorm ideas, take audio notes, and summarize videos lectures.

Here's how to use it:
Go to myjotbot(dot)com and click on "Start writing" to create an account.
JotBot gives you three options: New Document, New Generation, and Auto Note Taking.

Click on "New Document." This will open an word editor and a writing assistant for you.

If you are getting started on a writing project, ask the writing assistant to create an outline for you.

Once an outline is created, click on "Insert at cursor" and it will insert in the outline in your document.
Now that you have an outline, start writing.

As you write, the writing assistant will give you helpful suggestion to expand and further develop your ideas.

These suggestion will ensure you don't face the writer's block.
If you get stuck at some point, type ++ and JotBot will give you a suggestion to get you unstuck.

You may not find the suggestion to always accurate but they will get you unstuck.
My favorite feature of JotBot is the audio notes.

Click on "Auto Note Taking" and select "Live Notes."

Click on the "Start Listening" button and start talking about your project as if you are thinking out loud.

JotBot will transcribe what you are saying. It will also give you a neat summary of whatever rambling thoughts you had.

Now you can develop these ideas further.
If you have a video lecture or a YouTube video, JotBot can prepare notes for you.

Click on "Auto Note Taking" and select "Video Notes."

Upload your video or paste a YouTube link and click on "Generate Notes."

And JotBot will compile the notes for you along with timestamps.

Do NOT use Sci-Hub, the evil website that pirated 88M+ research papers.

It also integrates with Zotero.

We must make billion-dollar, for-profit, academic publishers richer.

Below is a step-by-step tutorial on how to add Sci-Hub to Zotero, so you know how to avoid it: The landing page of Sci-Hub.
1. Don't go to this link:

github(dot)com/syt2/zotero-scipdf

Don't scroll down and click on "latest release xpi file."

As a result, an "xpi" file will not be downloaded on your computer.
2. Don't open your Zotero.

Don't click on "Tools" and don't select "Plugins."

In the Plugin Manager, don't click on the gear-like icon.

Don't select "Install Plugin From File."

Don't navigate to the XPI file you downloaded and don't add it.

🚨Claude Code just gave me a complete research paper with a single prompt.

The paper has a strong argument and even beats AI-detection app, Pangram.

With a little editing, it can pass for 100% human, and can be easily submitted for peer review.

Here's the workflow I used: A research paper discusses Hans Christian Andersen’s tales in colonial India, while an AI detection tool analyzes its originality.
Last year, I published a paper on how Hans Christian Andersen's Danish fairy tales were translated and received in colonial India.

I took the bibliography of this paper and put all the documents in a separate folder.

I wanted to see how well Claude Code could perform using these sources.The document discusses Bengali translations of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales in colonial India, emphasizing cultural impact and context.
The documents are in three languages Danish, English, and Bengali.

These are fairy tales, colonial archives, and literary theory in PDF including those that require OCR. A list of documents including PDF files on fairy tales, colonial archives, and literary theory in Danish, English, and Bengali.

How to set up your personal, AI-powered, research management system using Claude Code

A steo-by-step tutorial:
1. Go to obsidian[.]md

Download and install the app on your computer.
2. Once installed, Obsidian will ask you to create a "Vault" (folder on your computer).

Create a vault called "MyWiki" and save it in your Documents.

Once your vault is created, Obsidian will open it for you.

Don't be intimidated by what you see. It's very easy to use.

Sci-Hub is an evil website that pirated 85M+ research papers and made them freely available

And now they've added AI to their database to make Sci-Bot.

It answers your questions using latest, full-text articles.

But DO NOT use it. We should all try to make billion-dollar academic publishers richer.

I'm putting the link below so you know how to avoid it.
Some colleagues are reporting very long wait times (90-120 min).

Not sure what's going on, because I just ran a search and it gave me a decent response in less than 8 minutes.

Keep in mind that it's probably using full-text papers and not abstracts like most AI apps.

How to make AI-generated text 100% human with Claude Code:

PS: we're cooked A screenshot of Claude Code and Pangram windows placed side by side.
1. To humanize AI-generated text, you'll need a Claude Skill called "humanizer"

github[.]com/blader/humanizer

It detects 29 patterns of AI writing and removes them.
2. Press the Windows key on your computer and type "PowerShell."

This will open a black screen. This is your PowerShell.

Go the Claude Skills directory by using the following command:

cd C:\Users\YOUR USERNAME\.claude\skills

Type your user name in the above command.

Screening titles and abstracts for your systematic literature review is a very time-consuming process.

Researchers have to screen thousands of papers.

You can use Claude Code to automate the screening process with accuracy:

Here's how to do it:
1. Create a folder on your computer, "systematic review"
2. Run a search in PubMed or any other database.

Download a PubMed or RIS file of the search results.

Be sure to include abstracts when you download.

Name it "abstractsforscreening"
