Looking to streamline my literature review for infrastructure monitoring papers. Currently using Zotero for reference management but Elicit's AI screening looks promising.

Key needs:
* Sync PDFs from arXiv, ACM, IEEE
* Tag and filter by topic (e.g., "prometheus," "grafana")
* Extract key claims and methodologies quickly
* Integrate findings into Obsidian notes

Zotero works but the screening is manual. Elicit's bulk query seems faster for initial filtering.

Has anyone run both in parallel?
* How reliable is Elicit at pulling relevant cloud-native or K8s monitoring papers?
* Can you export cleaned metadata/bibtex from Elicit back into Zotero cleanly?
* Any major gaps in Elicit's PDF handling for highly technical CS papers?


Benchmarks or bust.
