TeXposit is a collaborative web editor for LaTeX and Markdown aimed at academic writing, including papers, theses, and technical reports. Its browser-based WebAssembly LaTeX engine updates a preview as users type, while final PDFs are produced by a full TeX Live installation. Collaboration tools include multi-cursor editing, role-based access, inline comments and suggestions, and team chat. The optional AI assistant uses project context such as bibliography and document structure for academic writing and LaTeX tasks. Users can connect Ollama to run models on their own computer; the guide describes this as offline use without cloud data transfer or API costs. TeXposit also supports Pandoc-flavored Markdown with citations, math, tables, and code blocks, plus GitHub Sync for one-way backups or two-way syncing. Its free plan includes unlimited projects and collaborators, AI assistance, full version history, and no compile timeouts. Local folder sync is documented for Chrome, Edge, and Safari, but not Firefox.
