Write with the document in view.
Source and PDF stay connected while the manuscript changes.
LatexDo
Write, compile, review, respond, and prepare your LaTeX work for submission without breaking your workflow.
30-second product demo
The website demo is a deterministic simulation of LatexDo concepts: source anchors, PDF links, diagnostics, review proposals, rebuttals, paper review, and submission checks.
Source and PDF stay connected while the manuscript changes.
Compiler output becomes an actionable finding with a proposed fix.
Reviewer comments point back to the exact source text.
The rebuttal response links to the reviewer comment and the manuscript revision.
Readiness checks separate deterministic validation from AI-derived review.
AI inside the workflow
LatexDo presents assistance as completions, findings, proposals, and review results instead of a detached chat stream.
Keep source and PDF beside each other instead of jumping between disconnected windows.
Compile locally with your TeX installation and keep package control on your machine.
Surface citation, compiler, warning, and review context where the work is happening.
Start from your existing paper, thesis, or class project.
Keep sections, bibliography, notes, and figures visible.
Use your local TeX toolchain and inspect real output.

Draft a response beside the source and compiled PDF.
