  • 00:00:00
    in this video I want to introduce you to
  • 00:00:02
    apoai who is also the sponsor of today's
  • 00:00:04
    video afai is essentially like having a
  • 00:00:07
    zoto and a Chachi PT together where you
  • 00:00:10
    can annotate on PDFs and organize it
  • 00:00:12
    with a very very similar setup to zota
  • 00:00:15
    before I jump into showing you f I do
  • 00:00:17
    want to let you know that there is a
  • 00:00:19
    link in the description below and there
  • 00:00:20
    is also a discount code you can use to
  • 00:00:23
    get 10% off if you're interested in
  • 00:00:25
    upgrading to one of their paid plans the
  • 00:00:28
    nice thing is they do have a free plan
  • 00:00:30
    if you're not wanting to use a lot of
  • 00:00:31
    the AI features you can definitely use
  • 00:00:33
    the free plan and get a lot of these
  • 00:00:35
    benefits if you are going to be more
  • 00:00:36
    heavy on the AI you can use one of the
  • 00:00:38
    paid plans and you can get 10% off with
  • 00:00:41
    the discount code below so you can see
  • 00:00:43
    here this is my apar and you can see
  • 00:00:45
    that I've already been working in it to
  • 00:00:47
    work on different projects that I'm
  • 00:00:48
    currently on but I'm going to create a
  • 00:00:51
    new collection specifically for you to
  • 00:00:53
    see here so I'm going to click up here
  • 00:00:57
    and then I can click create folder to
  • 00:00:59
    create a new col collection and then I'm
  • 00:01:01
    going to call
  • 00:01:04
    this so I'm naming this caffeine and
  • 00:01:07
    performance and what I'm going to do is
  • 00:01:08
    I'm actually going to import one of my
  • 00:01:10
    zoto libraries to work with so to do
  • 00:01:13
    that I can click import items and then
  • 00:01:15
    I'm going to add to click to add my bib
  • 00:01:17
    text
  • 00:01:22
    file and so what it's going to do and
  • 00:01:24
    this is one of the features I really
  • 00:01:26
    like about it is it's automatically
  • 00:01:28
    going to look Andy try and find the PDF
  • 00:01:31
    for you so these didn't have the PDFs in
  • 00:01:33
    them they're a bid text file they can't
  • 00:01:35
    hold that data within them but it went
  • 00:01:38
    and looked online to try and see if they
  • 00:01:41
    could find the PDFs for them and then
  • 00:01:43
    you can see there were three that it
  • 00:01:44
    wasn't able to find the PDF and so what
  • 00:01:47
    I can do is if I have the PDF I can
  • 00:01:49
    click this button here and it will allow
  • 00:01:51
    me to upload the PDF for it so that it
  • 00:01:55
    can process in if it doesn't if it can't
  • 00:01:57
    find the PDF then it won't upload it
  • 00:02:00
    into the system and then I can click
  • 00:02:07
    upload and so you can see that it's now
  • 00:02:10
    uploaded in the ones that had a PDF or
  • 00:02:12
    it was able to find a PDF for them so
  • 00:02:15
    within here this is a really similar
  • 00:02:17
    view to zoto if you're familiar with
  • 00:02:19
    zoto so if I click on one you can see I
  • 00:02:22
    have the info I have the citation
  • 00:02:25
    information in here I have the notes for
  • 00:02:28
    it and then I have the ability to view
  • 00:02:29
    the file I can also search up here so
  • 00:02:32
    with this one it won't if you search up
  • 00:02:34
    here it won't specifically search the
  • 00:02:36
    PDFs but it will search the title the
  • 00:02:39
    abstract and the notes that you have as
  • 00:02:42
    well and one of the things that I really
  • 00:02:44
    like about this is that you can view the
  • 00:02:46
    file and they essentially have this nice
  • 00:02:48
    PDF reader that you can use to annotate
  • 00:02:51
    and do all of these different things on
  • 00:02:52
    it so if I click view
  • 00:02:56
    file it opens up in a new tab the PD PDF
  • 00:03:00
    for that specific reference and we have
  • 00:03:03
    a few things up here so we can zoom in
  • 00:03:04
    and out we can rotate left or right we
  • 00:03:07
    can go to different pages and then we
  • 00:03:09
    have a few annotation tools so we have
  • 00:03:11
    the ability to set the highlight color
  • 00:03:14
    the ability to toggle on and off
  • 00:03:16
    highlight one of the things that's
  • 00:03:17
    really nice about this is it does have
  • 00:03:19
    those keyboard shortcuts for these so if
  • 00:03:21
    we hold s and t together we'll get
  • 00:03:23
    highlight If We Hold s and a together
  • 00:03:25
    we'll get an area highlight which is
  • 00:03:27
    basically a box that you can do and if
  • 00:03:29
    you s and in together you can do a
  • 00:03:31
    sticky note I can also come over here
  • 00:03:34
    and I can just write in quick notes as
  • 00:03:37
    I'm doing it I don't have to add the
  • 00:03:38
    notes into here I can just write in
  • 00:03:40
    notes here and this is actually the
  • 00:03:42
    first place that I'm going to show you
  • 00:03:44
    that has the AI built in so what you can
  • 00:03:47
    do is you can actually do at and you can
  • 00:03:49
    choose the model that you want to work
  • 00:03:51
    with so for this I'm just going to
  • 00:03:53
    choose
  • 00:03:54
    gp40 and then I can type in my question
  • 00:03:57
    so I can say something like summarize
  • 00:04:00
    this
  • 00:04:02
    paper and so what it's going to do is it
  • 00:04:04
    automatically adds that as a note and
  • 00:04:06
    then if I click here you can see it
  • 00:04:09
    actually brings up the comment under it
  • 00:04:12
    so you have um the information in it the
  • 00:04:17
    key points that are in it as well and
  • 00:04:20
    then this paper concludes that while the
  • 00:04:22
    data available is promising further
  • 00:04:24
    research is warranted to fully
  • 00:04:25
    understand the potential benefits and so
  • 00:04:28
    if we kind of
  • 00:04:31
    scroll down to the
  • 00:04:34
    conclusion we can see that basically
  • 00:04:37
    they are saying what they said is it is
  • 00:04:40
    effective um and that there are um at
  • 00:04:43
    least three main gaps to um continue to
  • 00:04:46
    pursue and then we can analyze um the
  • 00:04:49
    summary there the other things we can do
  • 00:04:52
    so we can chat within there but we can
  • 00:04:54
    also do things like highlighting so I'm
  • 00:04:56
    going to hold s and t on my keyboard and
  • 00:04:59
    you see that that highlight changed so
  • 00:05:01
    I'll do it again but you can see that
  • 00:05:03
    it's unselected if I hold SNT it
  • 00:05:05
    automatically selects it this is
  • 00:05:06
    something I really like because it means
  • 00:05:08
    I don't have to keep clicking around in
  • 00:05:09
    order to do all of the different things
  • 00:05:11
    I need to do and then I can go ahead and
  • 00:05:14
    highlight part of my
  • 00:05:16
    text the thing that I really like about
  • 00:05:18
    this and I like it a lot better than
  • 00:05:20
    zoto's way of doing this is that it
  • 00:05:24
    automatically includes that highlight
  • 00:05:26
    into the notes so you can see that
  • 00:05:29
    highlight is here and then I can write
  • 00:05:31
    in
  • 00:05:34
    here and here a comment so like if I
  • 00:05:37
    wanted to highlight something and take
  • 00:05:38
    notes on it I can do that and so now
  • 00:05:42
    that note appears in here so if I go
  • 00:05:44
    back into my library and I click on
  • 00:05:49
    um my creatine and I go to the notes you
  • 00:05:52
    can see both of those notes now appear
  • 00:05:54
    in here and I can easily see the
  • 00:05:56
    information from both the chat and from
  • 00:05:59
    my highlight highlights and my comments
  • 00:06:00
    on those highlights I can also do an
  • 00:06:03
    area highlight so I can click the area
  • 00:06:06
    highlight and if I just drag and drop
  • 00:06:08
    and let's say I include all of that you
  • 00:06:11
    can see it now pulls it in as an image
  • 00:06:13
    so it's not exactly going to be
  • 00:06:14
    searchable it takes an image of it and
  • 00:06:16
    includes it within the note and if I do
  • 00:06:19
    SN I can create a sticky note so if I
  • 00:06:22
    come down here maybe I want to create a
  • 00:06:24
    sticky note on this and let's say I'm
  • 00:06:26
    going to do let's do another AI chat so
  • 00:06:29
    we're going to go to the same
  • 00:06:31
    one and we're going to do can you
  • 00:06:35
    explain the blood brain
  • 00:06:39
    barrier and why it is important
  • 00:06:44
    for
  • 00:06:47
    creatinin
  • 00:06:49
    supplementation okay so basically asking
  • 00:06:52
    it to explain
  • 00:06:54
    something and so we can see it's
  • 00:06:56
    included there and it's also included
  • 00:06:58
    Here and Now get the response as well so
  • 00:07:02
    it talks about the Transporters for it
  • 00:07:05
    the endogenous synthesis different
  • 00:07:07
    things like that that we can easily get
  • 00:07:09
    that's both stored within this paper but
  • 00:07:11
    it's also accessible so now if I took
  • 00:07:14
    something like
  • 00:07:17
    GAA and I search for it it's going to
  • 00:07:21
    bring this one up because it has a note
  • 00:07:23
    that's associated with it even though
  • 00:07:25
    that note came from an AI bot and this
  • 00:07:27
    is something that I think a lot of
  • 00:07:28
    people hav't implemented in is the
  • 00:07:30
    ability to search AI results um which is
  • 00:07:34
    included in here and you can see that
  • 00:07:36
    those two notes aren't showing up here
  • 00:07:38
    and the reason for that is it just needs
  • 00:07:40
    a refresh so if I go to my station and
  • 00:07:42
    go back to my notes you see that they're
  • 00:07:43
    now showing up the two that I just did
  • 00:07:45
    there and so that's the way to interact
  • 00:07:48
    with the AI within a specific PDF you
  • 00:07:51
    can take notes on it you can write
  • 00:07:53
    comments on it all of these things are
  • 00:07:55
    available and I think the way that they
  • 00:07:56
    have done it is really nice you can also
  • 00:07:59
    sort these notes and filter them so if I
  • 00:08:01
    just want to see what my text highlights
  • 00:08:03
    are that's there if I just want to see
  • 00:08:05
    what my quick notes are which are the
  • 00:08:07
    ones that I just type into the bar um
  • 00:08:09
    it's the ones that I type in down here
  • 00:08:12
    so they're they're not on the
  • 00:08:14
    actual page they're just um within the
  • 00:08:18
    notes section I can specify to those I
  • 00:08:21
    can specify to my sticky notes I can
  • 00:08:23
    specify to all of this and I can also
  • 00:08:25
    organize them as well the other thing
  • 00:08:27
    very similar to zoto is does have tags
  • 00:08:31
    and you can always click over here to
  • 00:08:32
    see all the keyboard shortcuts and you
  • 00:08:34
    can see that to create a shortcut you
  • 00:08:37
    can do CT and so if I hold down C and T
  • 00:08:41
    you can see a tag pops up here and I can
  • 00:08:45
    just type
  • 00:08:47
    in
  • 00:08:49
    creatine and drag and drop it and now
  • 00:08:53
    this you can see has a DOT here and it
  • 00:08:55
    also um is now going to have that tag
  • 00:08:59
    there and so that's essentially ways you
  • 00:09:01
    can do it you can also add in the tags
  • 00:09:03
    here the other part of aari that I think
  • 00:09:07
    is really cool is the fact that they
  • 00:09:09
    have an AI research assistant and So
  • 00:09:12
    within here there's basically three
  • 00:09:14
    different modes that you can use there
  • 00:09:16
    is the document retrieval mode which
  • 00:09:17
    means you can hook it up to one of your
  • 00:09:19
    libraries or multiple libraries and have
  • 00:09:21
    it pull in to give you results on it
  • 00:09:23
    there's the semantic scholar mode so
  • 00:09:24
    this could be like things that you
  • 00:09:26
    haven't even started developing papers
  • 00:09:29
    on um but if I just did semantic scholar
  • 00:09:32
    mode then I'm going to pull in the
  • 00:09:33
    papers from semantic scholar and then
  • 00:09:35
    there's Google search mode so if you
  • 00:09:36
    just want to use Google search you can
  • 00:09:38
    use that mode as well so the first mode
  • 00:09:40
    I'm going to do is I'm going to go ahead
  • 00:09:42
    and add in semantic scholar and I'm
  • 00:09:44
    going to ask it what is the best level
  • 00:09:49
    of supplementation
  • 00:09:53
    of creatine
  • 00:09:58
    for
  • 00:10:00
    bodybuilders and I can send
  • 00:10:06
    that so what we get is we get
  • 00:10:09
    information and what we also get is
  • 00:10:11
    references so this pulled three
  • 00:10:13
    different papers um and then it
  • 00:10:16
    summarized those papers together so it
  • 00:10:18
    talked about for muscle growth creating
  • 00:10:20
    supplement supplementation for brain
  • 00:10:22
    health and then physical exercise and
  • 00:10:25
    oxidative stress markers then it talks
  • 00:10:28
    about the dosage that they um those
  • 00:10:31
    papers discuss and then timing and
  • 00:10:34
    consistency so if we click on these we
  • 00:10:36
    can click um visit site and this will
  • 00:10:39
    take us to the semantic scholar site and
  • 00:10:43
    we can
  • 00:10:44
    also click on upload URL and that will
  • 00:10:47
    actually upload it into our um Library
  • 00:10:50
    so if we go back to our
  • 00:10:52
    library you can see that in unsorted
  • 00:10:55
    it's added this in so now we can drag
  • 00:10:57
    and drop it into our new Library
  • 00:11:00
    here and so that's the way to
  • 00:11:02
    automatically Pull It in I do believe
  • 00:11:04
    that is a pro feature so that's one of
  • 00:11:06
    the paid features if you're interested
  • 00:11:07
    in being able to directly pull in from
  • 00:11:09
    semantic scholar so if we go back to our
  • 00:11:12
    research assistant now what I'm going to
  • 00:11:14
    do is I'm going to switch it to document
  • 00:11:15
    retrieval and when I do that I'm going
  • 00:11:18
    to first use connect files so this
  • 00:11:20
    allows you to control which files it
  • 00:11:21
    pulls in and reads to give you the
  • 00:11:23
    results so if I click connect files this
  • 00:11:26
    is already set to my caffeine and
  • 00:11:28
    performance which is exactly what I want
  • 00:11:30
    it to be set to if it wasn't then I
  • 00:11:33
    would need to um set it obviously click
  • 00:11:36
    the check mark there to uh set it to
  • 00:11:38
    that so I'm going to click
  • 00:11:40
    confirm and now I can say how
  • 00:11:45
    does creatine
  • 00:11:49
    supplementation
  • 00:11:51
    effect muscle
  • 00:11:54
    growth and hit send so once it reads the
  • 00:11:58
    different papers you can see up here it
  • 00:12:00
    was reading the papers it basically
  • 00:12:02
    gives you a few different things so it
  • 00:12:03
    talks about the mechanism of action
  • 00:12:05
    muscle creatine levels muscle mass and
  • 00:12:08
    function and then dosage strategies and
  • 00:12:10
    you can see it gives us all of the um
  • 00:12:13
    citations that it pulled the data from
  • 00:12:14
    there and so if I click this you can see
  • 00:12:16
    I can go straight from here to view file
  • 00:12:18
    and go ahead and confirm that
  • 00:12:20
    information um and then it gives me the
  • 00:12:23
    like abstract down there so I can always
  • 00:12:25
    click here and go ahead and view the
  • 00:12:27
    file this will bring it up over here and
  • 00:12:29
    this this allows me to be able to
  • 00:12:30
    determine if this is actually what it
  • 00:12:32
    said and read further about whether I
  • 00:12:35
    want to further investigate this as well
  • 00:12:37
    and if you open up the bottom you can
  • 00:12:40
    actually get be able to copy this you
  • 00:12:42
    can copy with the citations or without
  • 00:12:44
    the citations and be able to paste it
  • 00:12:46
    somewhere else or you can regenerate the
  • 00:12:48
    answer both of those are good options um
  • 00:12:51
    if you need to use either of that so
  • 00:12:53
    that's really two different ways that
  • 00:12:55
    you can use this research assistant you
  • 00:12:57
    can use it to first start out and pull
  • 00:12:58
    things in from something like semantic
  • 00:13:00
    scholar and then you can also use it to
  • 00:13:03
    summarize or ask questions about the
  • 00:13:05
    references that are already within your
  • 00:13:07
    own libraries you can always go back and
  • 00:13:09
    go into the individual ones to be able
  • 00:13:11
    to add in those comments or chat with
  • 00:13:13
    one um PDF
  • 00:13:15
    specifically now you can also export
  • 00:13:18
    your items so let's say you added a
  • 00:13:19
    bunch of items into this and then you
  • 00:13:22
    want to export it out for citations or
  • 00:13:24
    something like that with zoto if you
  • 00:13:26
    want to just export a collection you can
  • 00:13:28
    rightclick on any collection and you can
  • 00:13:30
    export those citations and so you can
  • 00:13:32
    export it as a bib text a bibl text a
  • 00:13:35
    bib text an RIS or a CF file and so I
  • 00:13:39
    any of those zoto will take in and so
  • 00:13:42
    you can do that you can also download
  • 00:13:44
    the files generate the citations you can
  • 00:13:47
    come from a specific one and use with AI
  • 00:13:49
    that'll use the document retrieval
  • 00:13:50
    function there um and then you can
  • 00:13:52
    always rename create a subfolder under
  • 00:13:55
    that so if you want to have multiple
  • 00:13:56
    subfolders like you do in zoto you can
  • 00:13:58
    also do that
  • 00:13:59
    um you can move it to a different folder
  • 00:14:01
    and then obviously delete the folder and
  • 00:14:03
    delete the folder and the files in it
  • 00:14:05
    you do have a trash as well so whenever
  • 00:14:07
    you go to delete things by click move to
  • 00:14:11
    trash I click this one move to trash
  • 00:14:15
    it'll go into your trash so it won't
  • 00:14:17
    automatically delete it and then to
  • 00:14:18
    empty your trash you do have to click
  • 00:14:20
    and hold if you just click once it won't
  • 00:14:22
    do anything if you are interested in
  • 00:14:25
    signing up for arar I will have a link
  • 00:14:27
    in the description below and there is
  • 00:14:30
    also a discount code I will leave it on
  • 00:14:32
    the screen now so that you can use that
