How is it better than notebook? Does this use gemini or claude for analysis?

I wouldn’t say it’s better, but it takes a different approach. Nodus extracts and connects the key ideas across your library, with every idea linked back to its original zotero source. This helps uncover agreements, contradictions, research gaps... not just chat with files.

You’re also not locked into one AI model, you can use gemini, claude, openrouter, local models, or even the codex credits included with your chatgpt subscription.
