Overleaf is an online collaborative editor for documents written in the LaTeX markup language. Millions of people now use it. User research tells us that many authors who use Overleaf also use AI tools heavily and for a wide variety of tasks throughout the research lifecycle. This research has informed several new features that we've shipped or that are available (or soon to be available) in our beta/labs programme. This talk will walk through some of these current and coming soon features. For example, large language models are good at fixing those annoying and cryptic LaTeX errors and may help solve some longstanding and difficult problems with producing accessible PDFs from LaTeX. For research writing more generally, we are exploring ways to intelligently leverage scholarly literature while writing, for example to suggest missing citations or identify whether statements are well supported by the literature or not.
