Keep Sources And Writing In One Project
If you use LaTeX Cloud Studio for paper writing, keep the source workflow close to the manuscript instead of splitting it across disconnected tools.Knowledge Base
Keep project papers and reference PDFs inside the same project so they can become reusable source context.
AI Research Agent
Find external literature, expand from accepted sources, and move strong evidence toward citation handoff.
- Upload the core papers for the project into the knowledge base.
- Draft the section that needs support or related-work coverage.
- Use the research workspace to find stronger evidence, newer follow-up work, or counterarguments.
- Accept the sources worth keeping in project memory.
- Move accepted evidence toward bibliography and citation workflows in the manuscript.
