Skip the log-diving

LaTeX logs are dense, repetitive, and rarely point to the exact line you need. AI Auto-correction ingests the full log, isolates the root cause, and describes it in plain English before proposing a fix.

How the workflow unfolds

1. Compile as usual. If the PDF fails or emits warnings, a badge appears on the Bug icon.
2. Open the Bug panel to view AI-generated summaries, complete with file paths and suggested remedies.
3. Apply “AI Fix” to let the assistant create a safe patch—missing braces, undefined commands, or package conflicts are resolved automatically.
4. Recompile to confirm. Complex manuscripts may need a couple of iterations, with AI narrowing down the remaining issues each time.

Issues the AI handles best

• Unclosed environments, mismatched braces, or forgotten \end{}
• Missing \usepackage, typos in macro names, broken image paths
• Misaligned tables/equations and duplicated labels
• Bibliography files not found or citation styles misconfigured

Power tips

Apply fixes one at a time to keep changes traceable, leave short comments around heavily customized macros, and feed AI extra context via the prompt field when working with bespoke commands.
