I’ve been building Octree, an open source AI-native LaTeX editor designed to make technical writing faster and easier while staying fully compatible with traditional LaTeX workflows. (https://github.com/octree-labs/octree)
The main differentiator, though, is something we call the Generate Agent. Instead of just offering autocomplete or small inline AI edits, you can give it a single prompt and it generates a complete research-style paper draft in LaTeX. That includes a structured abstract, logically organized sections and subsections, placeholders for figures and tables, citation scaffolding, and properly formatted, compilable LaTeX output. It produces both the .tex source and a compiled PDF.
Currently, we have a free trial. However, you can try a bunch of tools for free without signing in. https://tools.useoctree.com
