An AI LaTeX editor that keeps you in control
Turquoise Jackal combines a complete browser-based LaTeX workspace with optional AI help beside your source. Ask Jackal to draft a passage, revise selected text, explain a problem, or propose a repair without moving your work into a separate chat window.
Useful help without automatic rewrites
Jackal works with the current file, an optional selection, and a bounded amount of conversation context. It can return a proposed LaTeX change that you inspect as a diff before anything is applied.
The ordinary editor remains available when AI is unavailable. You can still organise files, compile with shell escape disabled, read the compiler log, preview the PDF, and restore saved revisions.
A clear path from source to result
- 01
Open an editable project
Create a project from a trusted starter or import a standard LaTeX ZIP.
- 02
Ask for one focused change
Describe the section, selection, or compiler problem you want Jackal to address.
- 03
Review before applying
Compare the proposal with your source, accept only what is useful, then compile the result.
Know what the tool does not promise
Jackal is an assistive proposal tool, not a LaTeX verifier or a substitute for checking facts. Provider availability and configured limits can temporarily prevent a response, and a proposed repair can still need manual correction. Compilation remains the authoritative check.
Frequently asked questions
Does Jackal change my LaTeX automatically?
No. It presents a proposed change for review. You choose whether to apply it.
Can it help with a compiler error?
Yes. Jackal can use bounded compiler context to propose a repair, but you should review the source and compile again to verify it.
Can I use the editor without AI?
Yes. Editing, project organisation, compilation, PDF preview, sharing, and review remain normal workspace features.
Put the workflow into practice.
Start with the real tool, keep the limitations in view, and review the result.
