Overleaf Copilot

Copilot for Overleaf

Overleaf Copilot is a Chrome extension designed to enhance your Overleaf experience by providing AI-powered assistance similar to GitHub Copilot in VSCode. It offers live content suggestions triggered by typing or pressing enter, enabling smoother and faster LaTeX writing workflows. Users can accept suggestions word by word or entirely with simple keyboard shortcuts.

Additionally, the extension features content rewriting tools accessible via a pencil icon, allowing users to refine their text with customized prompts. It also integrates relevant content searches from arXiv directly within Overleaf, facilitating efficient literature research. While a free server option lets you test the extension without an OpenAI API key, heavy users are encouraged to connect their own API keys for enhanced features, more advanced AI models, and higher usage limits. Your API key is securely stored in your browser and never shared, ensuring privacy and control.

The extension worked well for me. The content rewriting feature is useful as it helps to speed up the editorial process. The relevant content search is a unique feature I haven’t seen elsewhere, though it would be even more valuable if the search wasn’t limited to Arxiv. The content suggestions are helpful, but I'd advise caution, as I wouldn’t want the recommendations to introduce bias into my work.

Does not work. I checked the dev console. The requests were successful but it does not insert anything in the overleaf editor EDIT: No, it does not do anything at all. Put in my API key but nothing showing up.
