What it does

Most AI tools hand you LaTeX and leave you to paste it somewhere and hope it builds. Lexi works inside the project: it creates and edits files, builds tables and TikZ diagrams, fixes your bibliography, compiles, reads the real latexmk log, and fixes what it reported. Every edit snapshots first, so it can be reverted. Connect Claude or ChatGPT over MCP and they get the same project: 1,019 templates, create, edit, compile. Unlimited collaborators on every plan. Overleaf's free tier allows one.

The best free Overleaf alternative. Write, edit, and compile LaTeX in the browser with unlimited collaborators. No installation required.

LetX is a free online collaborative LaTeX editor for student teams. Compile in seconds, work together in real time, and keep your unpublished work private. \documentclass {article} \usepackage {amsmath} \begin {document} \begin {align*} e^ {i\pi} + 1 &= 0 \\[1ex] \int _ {0} ^ {\infty} e^ {-x^2} dx &= \frac {\sqrt{\pi} } {2} \end {align*} \end {document} A real editing session Invite your team, edit together in real time, and compile to PDF in seconds, exactly how LetX works. Abstract — We present a framework that detects faint exoplanets in JWST/MIRI coronagraph imagery using contrastive and few-shot learning, separating planetary signals from bright host stars under low signal-to-noise.

    I'm building an app to replace Overleaf and Notion2025 · ▲82

    Hi HN, Since 2019, I’ve been working on a writing platform designed for creating complex documents (e.g., theses). I personally use it for everything as it also allows to classify documents in categories so you can organize them efficiently. As of a few months ago, the app is also available in the browser, and you can now invite coworkers to collaborate on a document in real time. The app is somewhat inspired by LyX. It offers an intuitive, modern editor, but users don’t need to know any LaTeX. When it’s time to export, they can choose from a range of templates (IEEE paper, thesis, etc.). A…

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
