Built for AI workflows

Core capabilities designed for LLM integration and agent autonomy

REST API for Document Generation
Compile LaTeX to PDF with a simple HTTP endpoint. Built for AI agents, LLM applications, and programmatic workflows.
  • POST /compile - accepts LaTeX source and metadata
  • Returns Base64-encoded PDF or hosted download URLs
  • Sub-second compilation for cached documents
  • SyncTeX data included for source mapping
LLM-Ready Architecture
Purpose-built integrations for OpenAI, Anthropic, LangChain, and custom agents. Generate research documents directly from language model outputs.
  • OpenAI Function Calling compatible
  • Claude tool-use support
  • LangChain agent integration
  • Streaming compilation updates
High-Performance Compilation
Deterministic output with guaranteed reproducibility. Fast compilation times suitable for real-time applications and batch processing.
  • Tectonic-powered LaTeX engine
  • Content-based caching (SHA256 hashing)
  • Sub-second recompilation for cached docs
  • Parallel batch compilation
Context Preservation
Maintain document state, citations, and formatting across multiple compilations. Perfect for iterative AI drafting workflows.
  • Persistent document storage
  • Citation library management
  • Template guardrails
  • Metadata tracking

  }
}
LangChain Agent Tool
TypeTeX as a tool in LangChain agent chains
from langchain.tools import Tool

compile_tool = Tool(

  func=typetex_client.compile,
  description="Compile LaTeX to PDF. Input: LaTeX source code"
)

agent = initialize_agent(
  [compile_tool],
  llm,
  agent=AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION
)
Direct API Call
Simple HTTP request for document compilation
curl https://api.typetex.ai/v1/compile \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TYPETEX_API_KEY" \
