The TeXposit AI assistant is built for academic writing. It reads your bibliography, tracks your document structure, and maintains conversation history so its responses stay relevant to your actual project.
Core AI Features
1. Chat & Generation
Open the AI Assistant panel (Cmd+Shift+B) to start a conversation. The assistant can:
- Generate Tables - Describe your data, and the assistant creates properly formatted LaTeX tables using
booktabs - Explain Equations - Paste a complex formula and ask for a step-by-step explanation
- Draft Sections - Ask the assistant to write an introduction, abstract, or methods section
- Answer Questions - Ask about LaTeX syntax, package usage, or academic writing best practices
- Refactor Code - Request cleaner or more modular LaTeX code organization
2. Inline Suggestions
Select any text in your document and right-click to see contextual AI options:
- Improve Writing - Enhance clarity and academic tone
- Refine Tone - Adjust formality or audience appropriateness
- Check Grammar - Identify and fix grammatical issues
- Expand Section - Add more detail and depth to your writing
- Summarize - Create a concise version of your text
Note: Suggestions appear in the left margin as yellow dots. Review each one before accepting. The assistant sometimes suggests changes when your original is fine.
3. Project Context Awareness
The assistant automatically analyzes:
Your references.bib file to suggest citations and maintain consistency
Section hierarchy and existing content to maintain narrative flow
Key terms you use to maintain vocabulary consistency
Currently open files to provide localized suggestions
4. Smart Model Selection
TeXposit offers three AI tiers with different capabilities:
Quick responses for simple tasks. Best for drafting and brainstorming.
Balanced speed and quality. Recommended for most academic writing tasks.
Most capable model for complex reasoning and detailed suggestions.
5. Conversation Management
Your chat history is automatically saved. The assistant keeps track of:
- Previous messages in the current session for context
- Your project structure to avoid suggesting duplicate sections
- Token usage so you know when you're approaching limits
• Be Specific: Instead of "improve this paragraph," say "make this more concise but maintain the technical depth."
• Provide Context: Mention your target audience or publication venue for more relevant suggestions.
• Iterate: Use multiple back-and-forth exchanges to refine your writing progressively.
• Check Citations: Always verify that AI-suggested citations match your bibliography.
