Seerai v1.4.0 Release Notes
Release of Seer-AI v1.4.0, a major milestone that transforms Seerai from a chat assistant into a powerful Agentic Research Assistant.

A comprehensive set of tools is now available to the agent:
- Search Tool: Filter and find papers in your library with precision.

- Table Tool: Extract and structure data into comparative tables automatically.
- Web Tool: Real-time web search and content fetching via Firecrawl.
- Collection Tool: Organize your research library.

Extend Seer-AI beyond Zotero.
- Model Context Protocol (MCP): Use Seer-AI’s capabilities in external tools that support mcp protocol.
- Local plugin API: Programmatic access to chat, tool execution, and library state via a local REST API.
🎨 UI & UX Enhancements
- Agentic Process Tracing: Beautiful UI for visualizing the agent’s thought process and tool execution.
