Next-Generation AI LaTeX Editor

Don't read or write .texJust work on the

A new paradigm for responsible writing and typesetting with AI.

📄 You care about the PDFNot the .tex behind it

Papers, theses, books, slides: readers only ever see the typeset page. So the page is where you should work, too.

No more compiling diffs in your head. A source diff makes you imagine the PDF. Papilot shows it to you, typeset.

👉 Point at the page and say what you want

Mark a sentence, an equation or a figure, and write a note. Your agent finds the source. You never open a .tex file.

🔒 Your files stay yours

 Plain files on your machine. Every change lands in your Git history.

 Sync with coauthors through Git. Pull, push, and let an agent resolve conflicts.

 Free and open source. MIT licensed, for macOS, Linux and Windows.
