This is a step in the right direction, now we just need Github Copilot to add citations.

Yeah I can imagine this a bit useful when writing literature reviews. I type a sentence then a sidebar on the right suggests papers from your Zotero pile, Google Scholar, etc.

Of course writing literature reviews is often a long process: collect-scan-read-synthesize-write. But sadly a copilot run system may override steps 2,3,4.
