Last week I [posted here](https://www.reddit.com/r/RemarkableTablet/comments/1r6npr2/open_source_tool_to_extract_highlights_from/) about a script that automatically synced my Zotero library with my reMarkable, and extracted my highlights into local structured notes. You just need to:

* bookmark papers to your Zotero library (syncs them to a folder on your reMarkable)
* read and highlight, them move the PDF to a "Read/" folder
* distillate extracts the highlights and your hand written notes, summarizes the paper, and keeps local structured notes of everything you've read.

A major update: [distillate.dev](http://distillate.dev/) now has a CLI agent interface to help you manage your reading queue in natural language. You can ask it:

* to sync your papers to reMarkable
* the status of your papers reading queue
* a digest of what you read recently along with paper summaries
* suggestions of papers to read next given the ones you've most engaged with
* to promote papers you want to read next to your reMarkable, or to add papers from arxiv directly to your Zotero and reading queue

... and plenty of extra features to smooth out your reading workflow. 

This is a fun, personal, open-source experiment to help me in my research. I'm making full use of all the reMarkable greatness: great reading experience, seamless sync, highlights, handwritten ink notes, typed text notes, etc.

Would love feedback!
