Typevia

Typevia is a live, collaborative LaTeX editor designed for researchers working on academic documents such as papers, theses, and technical reports. It preserves the familiar LaTeX workflow while adding features like live preview, AI assistance, browser-based Python, and project tools. The goal is to streamline writing, editing, and collaboration without sacrificing LaTeX control or document quality.

The product emphasizes real-time collaboration built into the editing experience, allowing multiple authors to work on the same document with synchronization and presence indicators. It also integrates AI to draft LaTeX, fix errors, explain compiler messages, and assist with larger projects. Users can run Python in the browser to accompany their LaTeX sources, enabling figures and calculations to stay alongside the source.

Typevia supports templates for common document types (papers, theses, and talks) and provides in-browser Python to generate figures and results within a project. It uses Monaco as the editor and Yjs CRDT for synchronization, ensuring responsive editing and conflict-free collaboration.

It describes its workflow as from keystroke to PDF, highlighting the steps from writing to collaboration to AI assistance to publishing. The service emphasizes privacy, trust, and accessible tools for researchers.
