Quickstart

Ten minutes to create a project, compile a PDF and put the AI assistant to work.

By the end of this walkthrough you will have a compiled LaTeX project, a first change made by the AI and a saved version of your work.

Sign in

1. Open prismatex.app in a modern browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari).
2. Click Sign in, then Continue with Google.
3. Pick your Google account in the window that opens.

The first time you sign in, your account is created and you get a free sign-up AI credit.

Nothing opens?

If the sign-in window doesn't appear, your browser probably blocked it: allow pop-ups for prismatex.app and try again.

Create a project

1. On the Your Projects page, click New.
2. Choose From template, then a template such as arXiv preprint or Technical Report. To start from scratch, choose Blank project.
3. Name the project and confirm.

The editor opens on the project's main document.

Compile your first PDF

Click Compile above the preview, or press Ctrl + Enter (⌘ + Enter on Mac). The PDF appears on the right after a few seconds.

Change the title in the .tex file, then press Ctrl + S: PrismaTex saves and recompiles.

Ask the assistant for a change

1. In the input box at the bottom of the editor, open the + menu and choose the Edit (propose changes) mode.
2. Describe what you want, for example: Write a two-paragraph introduction about reinforcement learning, with two references.
3. Send. The assistant reads the project, writes its proposal, compiles it and fixes any errors on its own.

Keep or undo the changes

The proposed changes are highlighted in the editor. Go through them, then click Keep all to accept them or Undo all to go back. You can also decide change by change: see Reviewing AI changes.

Save a version

Open the Tools panel, Versions tab, click Save version and add a note such as "first draft". You can compare or restore this version later: see Version history.

• Convert a PDF to LaTeX: start from an existing document.
• Share a project: invite your co-authors.
