PaperDockResearch writing should connect people, files, and AI agents.
PaperDock is being built so researchers can collaborate on LaTeX in the browser while continuing to use the AI assistants and local tools that already belong in their work.
Who is building PaperDock?
PaperDock is created and maintained by Hanbit Kim, with product decisions shaped by feedback from researchers, collaborators, and LaTeX users. It is currently a public beta, so the product and its documentation are updated as real research workflows expose rough edges and missing pieces.
Why build another online LaTeX editor?
AI assistants can already reason about research code, figures, data, and drafts from a local workspace. Collaborative writing tools keep the shared manuscript in the browser. PaperDock exists to connect those two environments: an authorized agent can work with the same project as the research team, while people retain project roles, Comments, Chat, revision context, and diff review for agent edits.
What guides the product?
- People stay in control
- Agent access follows the same project memberships and roles as the web app, and text edits remain reviewable.
- Local and web work can coexist
- Researchers should not have to abandon local scripts, figures, or preferred AI tools to collaborate on a shared manuscript.
- Limits should be understandable
- Public documentation explains current beta limits, retained data, and actions intentionally kept in the web app.
