v0.3.0
Jarvis is now connected to the web (if you choose to).
- added: new model set as default

gpt-3.5-turbomodel is the one behind ChatGPT. its reponses a lot cheaper and are much faster (at least they used to be in the first few days). check the settings to see that you have it selected. this is great timing, because for the next new feature Jarvis needs to make many queries. personally, the switch was not as smooth as I anticipated, and it took me a couple of days to adjust my prompts in order to get good responses from the model. in the end, though, I'm mosty happy with the new results.

- added: new command "Research with Jarvis"

max_tokensis recommended). wait 2-3 minutes for all the output to appear in the note (depending on internet traffic). Jarvis will update the content as it finds new information on the web (using Semantic Scholar, Crossref, Elsevier, Springer & Wikipedia databases). in the end you will get a report with the following sections: title, prompt, research questions, queries, references, review and follow-up questions. this is not Bing AI or the cool Elicit project, but even a small DIY tool can do quite a lot with the help of a large language model. You can read more about how it's done in this post. - sources of information: Jarvis currently supports 2 search engines (and Wikipedia), and uses various paper/abstract repositories. as a general rule, you're likely to get better results when operating from a university campus or IP address, because institutions usually have access to more papers. the 2 search engines have complementary features, and I recommend trying both.
- Semantic Scholar: (default) search is usually faster, more flexible (likely to find something related to any prompt), and it requires no API key. however, it has a tendency to prefer obscure, uncited papers.
- Scopus: search is slower, and stricter, but tends to find higher impact papers. it requires registering for a free API key
- Jarvis is a Joplin assistant first and foremost, but this feature was also ported to a VSCode extension.
