Click "Open Editor" in the navigation menu or on this page. You'll be redirected to sign in with your Google account. After authentication, you'll land directly in the editor with access to all your projects.

No! reify runs entirely in your browser. There's no software to download, no LaTeX distribution to install, and no configuration needed. Just sign in and start writing.

Click the "New Project" button in the project selector. Give your project a name, and reify will create a starter .tex file for you. You can add more files, images, and bibliography files as needed from the file tree on the left.

As you type, reify's AI analyzes your document context and suggests LaTeX commands, environments, and completions. Press Tab to accept a suggestion. The AI learns from your document structure, packages, and custom commands to provide relevant suggestions.

Yes! Click the "Upload Image" button in the toolbar and select an image of your handwritten math or equation. Our OCR system will convert it to LaTeX code that you can insert directly into your document. It works with photos from your phone or scanned images.

Right-click in the file tree and select "Upload File" to add images to your project. Then reference them in your LaTeX code with \includegraphics{filename.png}. Supported formats include PNG, JPG, and PDF.

reify includes a full TeX Live distribution with thousands of packages. Use any standard package with \usepackage{packagename}. Common packages like amsmath, graphicx, hyperref, tikz, and biblatex are all available.

Click the chat icon in the bottom-right corner of the editor. The AI agent panel will slide out from the right side, ready to help you with your document.

The AI agent can: generate LaTeX code from descriptions, explain compilation errors, create bibliographies, refactor document structure, suggest better commands, write entire sections from outlines, format tables and figures, and answer LaTeX syntax questions. It has full context of your document.

Yes, with your approval. The agent will show you a diff preview of proposed changes. You can accept, reject, or modify suggestions before they're applied to your document. All changes are tracked so you can undo if needed.

Yes! Provide an outline or description and the agent can generate a complete LaTeX document with proper structure, sections, and formatting. You can then edit and refine the generated content. It's perfect for starting from scratch or creating templates.

Click the "Compile" button in the top toolbar or press Ctrl+Enter (Cmd+Enter on Mac). The PDF will generate and display in the preview pane on the right. Compilation typically takes a few seconds.

Errors appear in the Problems panel at the bottom of the editor. Click any error to jump to that line in your code. Each error includes a helpful explanation and, when possible, suggested fixes. You can also ask the AI agent to explain or fix errors for you.

Yes! After successful compilation, click the "Download PDF" button in the toolbar. You can also download individual source files or export your entire project as a ZIP archive.

Yes! Create a .bib file in your project and reference it with \bibliography{filename}. The compiler automatically runs BibTeX when needed. The AI agent can also help you format citations and generate bibliography entries.

Projects are automatically saved to your reify account whenever you make changes. There's no need to manually save. Your work is synced to our servers and accessible from any device when you sign in.

Currently, reify requires an internet connection for compilation and AI features. However, your edits are cached locally, so brief connection drops won't cause data loss. We're working on offline compilation support.

Yes! Use the "Upload File" option in the file tree to add your .tex, .bib, image files, and other assets. You can upload multiple files at once. For large projects, upload a ZIP file and reify will extract it automatically.

Individual files can be up to 10MB. Projects can contain up to 100 files. These limits are sufficient for most academic papers, theses, and technical documents. If you need higher limits, contact us.

Click the Share button () next to any project in your project list. Enter the collaborator's email address and choose their permission level: "View" (read-only access) or "Edit" (can modify files). They'll receive access immediately and the project will appear in their project list with a "Shared by [your name]" badge.

View permission allows collaborators to see all project files and compile the document, but they cannot make any changes. The editor will be read-only and the AI agent will only work in "Ask" mode. Edit permission grants full access to modify files, use the AI agent, and make any changes to the project. Perfect for team collaboration!

Yes! Open the Share modal for your project to see all collaborators. You can change anyone's permission level from View to Edit (or vice versa) by clicking the toggle button. To remove someone, click the "Remove" button next to their name. Changes take effect immediately.

Click the History button () in the toolbar to open the version history panel. You'll see all saved versions of your document with timestamps and author names. Click "View Diff" to see exactly what changed between versions. To restore a previous version, click "Restore this version" - this creates a new version with the old content, so you never lose your current work.

Each version in the history shows the name of the person who saved that version. Your own saves are marked with "(You)" for easy identification. This is especially useful in shared projects to track who made specific changes and when. All changes from the AI agent are also tracked under your name.

Yes. Projects are only accessible to you and people you explicitly share them with. We don't share, sell, or use your content for any purpose other than providing the editor service. The AI agent processes your documents securely and doesn't retain data beyond the current session. You have complete control over who can access your work.

Yes. Contact us at reify.editor@gmail.com with your account deletion request. We'll permanently delete all your projects, files, and account data within 7 days. You can also export your projects before deletion.
