Coming from Overleaf & LaTeX
How a LaTeX/Overleaf user works in Multilo — what it does differently and how the two fit together.
Overleaf compiles LaTeX. Multilo is a different kind of tool — an AI document IDEbuilt around project-aware agents and citation verification. If you write in LaTeX, here’s how the two relate.
How Multilo is different
- Multilo is built around .docx and markdown as first-class documents; it opens LaTeX source but is not a LaTeX compiler.
- Its strength is project-aware AI: agents that draft, cite, and verify across your whole library — see agents and Claim Check.
- Citations are anchored to real sources and checked, rather than only formatted by a
.bibfile.
Using them together
Many researchers draft and research in Multilo — building the library, writing with the Full Draft Writer, and verifying citations — then take the prose to LaTeX for final typesetting. Multilo opens LaTeX and text files, so you can move content between the two.
Bringing your references
Import your existing BibTeX directly into the project library so your agents cite from the references you already maintain. RIS and CSL-JSON import too.
Best of both
Think of Multilo as the research-and-drafting brain and Overleaf as the typesetter — your references travel between them via BibTeX.
