Everything hangs on one thread: the idea.
Not files, not PDFs, not folders. Nodus decomposes every work in your library into its actual claims, findings and constructs, then follows the thread wherever it leads.
Sync your library
Point Nodus at your Zotero collections. It reads the attached files directly, no plugins, no re-indexing, no uploads. Duplicates are detected and merged losslessly.
Extract the ideas
An AI pass (cloud with your own key, or fully offline with Ollama / LM Studio) pulls out each work's claims, findings, methods and frameworks, with verbatim evidence and page references for every single one.
Watch them connect
Ideas link up into a living graph: supports, contradicts, refines, extends. Force-directed, WebGL-fast, and filterable by theme, author or reading status. This is where your corpus starts to look like an argument instead of a pile.
Interrogate the corpus
Nodus mines what your library does not say: open contradictions become head-to-head debates with a chronology; missing links become research gaps; your questions get tracked against actual coverage.
Write with proof
The writing workshop drafts sections grounded in the graph, and refuses to cite anything that doesn't resolve to a real Zotero item. Deep Research composes full multi-page cited reports. The same copilot runs live inside Microsoft Word and LibreOffice Writer.
Then listen to it
Turn any report into narrated audio, or take an immersive guided walk through a corner of your corpus. Voices run locally (Piper, Kokoro), or bring a Hume key for cloud voices.
