Write smarter, faster, and with confidence with ✨ Overleaf AI

What kind of LaTeX errors can Overleaf AI help with?

The Error Assist tool simplifies the debugging process by providing explanations and suggested fixes for LaTeX coding errors, both simple and complex. It can only correct LaTeX coding errors, it doesn’t fix all errors within your project. For example, if you’re experiencing a compile timeout, there may be other problems you need to fix. It’s important to bear in mind that the more specialized your LaTeX code is, the greater the potential for inaccurate error suggestions. Error Assist is not always aware of your custom commands and may offer more general solutions.

Can I use Overleaf AI for documents written in a language other than English?

Overleaf AI’s language suggestions (by Writefull) can support multiple languages. All you need to do is select the GPT model to start checking your text in Spanish, Dutch, German, Chinese, or any other language. Find out more about Writefull’s language support.

Can Overleaf AI help me generate LaTeX tables and equations?

The Table and Equation Generator tools let you instantly generate the LaTeX code for tables and equations using just an image or a prompt, saving you time when writing in LaTeX. Find out how in our documentation.

Note that while you can use these features for free, you will be subject to a daily cap. Purchasing an Overleaf plan will let you use the Table Generator and Equation Generator tools with an increased allowance!

How does Overleaf AI use my data?

The different AI features within Overleaf AI are designed to protect your data and comply with Overleaf's and Writefull's policies. Importantly, your projects and data are never used for training without your consent.

Some of Overleaf and Writefull’s AI features (such as Error Assist, or Writefull’s GPT language model) use third-party services like OpenAI. Before using these features, you'll be prompted to give consent the first time content is sent for external processing. If you choose to use these features, your text may be sent to and temporarily stored by this third-party service provider, but will not be used for training their models. Find out more in our documentation.
