TL;DR

Academic writing hasn't changed in decades. LetX introduces cloud-native compilation and real-time collaboration to the research workflow.

The Publish or Perish Reality

In academia, speed matters. But the tools are slow. LetX by Shahriar Labs is the answer to the inefficiency of the "Emailing ZIP files" era.

The Modern Workflow

1. Draft with AI Copilot

Don't stare at a blank page. Use LetX AI to generate outlines based on your hypothesis.

2. Collaborate in Real-Time

Invite your PI and co-authors. Edit the same doc.tex file simultaneously.

3. Instant Compile

See changes immediately via our WebAssembly-based TeX engine.

Integrating with Reference Managers

LetX syncs directly with Zotero and Mendeley. Just type @ to insert a citation.

FAQ
