What Does It Do?
AI4Scholar is a DSH plugin for DeepSeek Harness that brings 38 native academic tools into the harness, covering Semantic Scholar, PubMed, Google Scholar, arXiv, bioRxiv/medRxiv, and more. It solves the pain of switching between multiple databases and manually managing citations and downloads, letting you search, read, cite, and draw figures directly in DSH conversations. Core capabilities include unified search, cross-platform deduplication, auto-citation, scientific figure generation, and transparent credit tracking.
Core Features
- Unified search: one query across Semantic Scholar and PubMed, optionally arXiv and Google Scholar, with duplicates merged by DOI/arXiv ID/PMID/title, prioritizing multi-platform hits.
- Full-text retrieval: download and read PDF text in slices via DOI or arXiv ID, preventing long papers from flooding the context.
- Auto-citation: insert real citations, reference lists, and BibTeX with multiple citation formats.
- Scientific figures: generate, edit, style, compose, critique, output SVG, and vectorize scientific figures.
- Transparent credits: every billed tool call shows the charge and remaining balance in the chat card title and model-facing result; the
/ai4scholarcommand renders a balance card.
How to Use This Plugin?
After enabling the plugin in DSH, paste your AI4Scholar API key in Settings → Plugins → AI4Scholar in the Web UI and save. Then simply type natural language queries like "search for papers on protein folding," and the plugin will call the appropriate tools and return normalized record cards. To adjust behavior, modify the API key or check credit balance in settings.
