AI Error Debugging

Don't let cryptic LaTeX errors slow you down. Let Paperly's AI diagnose and fix them for you.

The Problem with LaTeX Errors

Traditional LaTeX errors are notoriously difficult to read. A simple missing bracket can generate hundreds of lines of log output.

How AI Debugging Works

1. Analysis

When an error occurs, the AI scans the entire compilation log and your source code to pinpoint the root cause.

2. Explanation

Instead of "Undefined control sequence," the AI tells you: "It looks like you tried to use \includegraphic instead of \includegraphics."

3. Auto-Fix

The AI generates the corrected code snippet. You can apply the fix with a single click.

Using the "Explain Error" Feature

  1. If your document fails to compile, click the Errors tab in the bottom panel.
  2. Locate the specific error message.
  3. Click the Ask AI or Fix button next to it.
  4. Read the explanation and click Apply Fix if you agree with the suggestion.
