LaTeX homework, without fighting LaTeX
Silas drafts the LaTeX for your problem sets, previews it as you go, and compiles it to PDF. Spend your time on the math, not on missing braces.
From working to a typeset PDF
Describe or paste your work
Paste a handwritten solution’s steps, a rough draft, or just the problem. Ask Silas to typeset it, fix an error, or explain a step.
See it rendered
The LaTeX opens in a side panel with a live preview of equations, align blocks, and sections, so you can catch mistakes before you compile.
Compile to PDF
Compile and download the PDF, or download the .tex source to keep working in Overleaf or your own editor.
Add references
Add a bibliography to the document, and ask Silas to cite the papers or textbook chapters you have uploaded.
Built for problem sets and lab reports
Most AI chat apps can print LaTeX, but you still have to copy it into an editor, compile it, and find out what broke. In Silas the document lives next to the conversation: ask for a change, see it rendered, and download the PDF when it is ready.
Upload your lecture notes or textbook and the explanations come from your course’s notation rather than a generic one. Switch to another model to double-check a derivation, see how multi-model chat works.
Frequently asked questions
Can AI write LaTeX for my homework?
Yes. Describe the solution or paste your working, and Silas writes clean LaTeX: equations, aligned derivations, matrices, proofs, and document structure. You can ask for changes in plain English and see the preview update.
Do I need to install LaTeX?
No. Silas previews and compiles the document in the browser and gives you a PDF. If you prefer your own setup or Overleaf, download the .tex source instead.
Can it convert my handwritten work to LaTeX?
Upload a photo of the page and ask Silas to typeset it. Check the result against your original, especially subscripts and signs, before you hand it in.
Which model is best for math?
Silas includes Claude, Gemini, and GPT, and you can switch between them in the same conversation. Reasoning models tend to do best on proofs and multi-step derivations, and it is easy to ask a second model to check the first.
Is using AI for homework allowed?
That depends on your course’s academic integrity policy. Using AI to typeset your own work or explain a concept is usually treated differently from having it solve the problem. Check the policy and follow it.
