alt Hacker NewsFocusing in on "grabbing references", it's as easy as drag-and-drop if you use Zotero. It can copy/paste references in BibTeX format. You can even customize it through the BetterBibTeX extension.
If you're not a Zotero user, I can't recommend it enough.
I have a terrible memory for details, I'll admit an LLM I can just tell "Find that paper by X's group on Method That Does This And That" and finds me the paper is enticing. I say this because I abandoned Zotero once the list of refs became large enough that I could never find anything quickly.
