LeafLLM: an AI-powered Overleaf

This Chrome extension adds the power of large-language models (LLMs) to Overleaf through a Chrome extension.

The extension originated from GPT4Overleaf.

Installation from Chrome Web Store (preferred option)

Unless you are a developer, this is probably your preferred option.

Just go to the extension's page in Chrome Web Store and press "Add to Chrome"

Manual installation

Clone the repository
Open Chrome and go to chrome://extensions/
Enable developer mode
Click "Load unpacked" and select the repository folder

Configuration

The plugin can be configured by clicking the plugin button in the Chrome toolbar. It requires inserting an API key from OpenAI. You also need to choose which tools you wish to enable.

Usage

These are the tools that are currently available:

Auto-complete

Select a text and press Alt+C to trigger the auto-complete tool.

Improve

Select a text and press Alt+I to trigger the improvement tool. The original text will be commented out and the improved text will be inserted below it.

Ask

Select a text and press Alt+A to trigger the ask tool. The original text will be deleted and the answer will be inserted in its place.

For example: "Create a table 4x3 that the first row is bold face" will be replaced with, e.g.,:

\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|}
\hline
\textbf{Column 1} & \textbf{Column 2} & \textbf{Column 3}\\
\hline
Entry 1 & Entry 2 & Entry 3\\
\hline
Entry 4 & Entry 5 & Entry 6\\
\hline
Entry 7 & Entry 8 & Entry 9\\
\hline
\end{tabular}

You can then, for example:

Write before the table: Place the following tabular inside a table environment, center it, and give the following title: "The comparison of the three approaches"
Select the sentence and the table
Press Alt+a to trigger the ask tool.

The result will be:

\begin{table}[h]
\centering
\caption{The comparison of the three approaches}
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|}
\hline
\textbf{Column 1} & \textbf{Column 2} & \textbf{Column 3}\\
\hline
Entry 1 & Entry 2 & Entry 3\\
\hline
Entry 4 & Entry 5 & Entry 6\\
\hline
Entry 7 & Entry 8 & Entry 9\\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{table}

Issues

If you encounter any problem/question, please open an issue in the project's repository.

Privacy

The plugin saves its configuration locally on the users' computer. The plugin sends the API key and the selected text to OpenAI only, and only for the purpose it was made for (i.e., completing and improving text and asking GPT questions). The plugin's authors are not responsible for what OpenAI do with this data. The plugin's authors do not collect any data from the plugin's users.
