AI assistant

AI tools in the editor ​

Besides the assistant, the editor offers focused AI tools: completion, image to LaTeX, charts, review and diagnosis.

Most of them open from the + menu of the input box, under Tools, or from the More menu of the Tools panel.

AI completion ​

While you write, press Alt + / (or Ctrl + Space): the AI suggests how to continue, in grey, at the cursor.

  • Tab accepts the whole suggestion;
  • → accepts it piece by piece;
  • typing on dismisses it.

Image to LaTeX ​

Turn a screenshot or photo into LaTeX code. Choose the Recognition type:

TypeResult
Equationa LaTeX equation
Tablea tabular table
Figure + captiona figure environment
Algorithman algorithm environment
Text onlythe text extracted from the image

Click, drag or paste an image, start the recognition, edit the result if needed, then insert it at the cursor.

Chart from table ​

  1. Select a LaTeX table (tabular) in the editor.
  2. Open Chart from table and choose the chart type (bar, line, heatmap…) and a title.
  3. Optionally add instructions, such as "highlight method A".
  4. Click Generate chart. With Insert Figure after generation, the figure is added to the document.

AI review ​

AI review reads the whole project and writes a reviewer report: consistency, terminology and symbols, statements that would need a citation… The report appears in the Review tab; you decide what to fix.

Fix a compile error ​

When compilation fails, open the logs and use Diagnose and fix compile errors: the AI reads the log, explains the problem and proposes a fix to review. See Compiling and fixing errors.

Translate ​

Select the text to translate and ask the assistant, in Edit mode, for a translation into the language you want. LaTeX formatting is kept.

Find & cite papers and Web search look for publications and fill your .bib file. See Bibliography and citations and Finding papers.
