Multilo Docs

Other file formats

What Multilo can open and edit beyond Word — Markdown, LaTeX, plain text, spreadsheets, PDFs, and notebooks.

Beyond Microsoft Word, Multilo opens the formats researchers actually work in — some as editable documents, others as sources to read and cite from. For the capability matrix, see file format support.

Markdown & plain text

Markdown (.md) and plain text are first-class editable documents. The editor renders Markdown structure — headings, lists, tables, code — and every agent works on it the same way it does on a Word file.

LaTeX & BibTeX

Open LaTeX source and .bib bibliography files as documents. You can also import BibTeX references straight into your project library; see library & sources.

Spreadsheets & data

Excel (.xlsx) and CSV files preview as tables, and agents can read and analyze them — for example, turning a results CSV into a figure with Agent Compute.

PDF ingestion

PDFs are read-only sources: Multilo extracts their text so agents can read, search, and cite them, and so Claim Check can verify a claim against the original. You edit in your draft, not in the PDF.

Jupyter notebooks

Jupyter notebooks (.ipynb) open with their cells and outputs so you can read and reference computational work alongside your writing.

Read vs edit

Editable formats (Word, Markdown, LaTeX, text) round-trip back to their original format. Ingestion formats (PDF, audio, video) are read into context as sources — you write in your document, citing them.
