ScholarCopilot

ScholarCopilot is a browser extension designed for academics who write in Overleaf, the popular collaborative LaTeX editor. Once installed, it adds an AI copilot layer to the Overleaf editor so that drafting, rewording, and refining academic prose happens inside the same window where you write your paper. The extension is distributed through the Chrome Web Store and is offered free of charge by its developer, OverleafCopilot.

The extension is powered by large language models in the style of ChatGPT. Its stated purpose is to make research writing more efficient by integrating LLM suggestions into the manuscript workflow, covering tasks such as improving phrasing of scholarly text and producing cleaner, more readable academic English.

Because it targets the Overleaf environment specifically, ScholarCopilot is most useful to students, PhD candidates, and faculty who already rely on LaTeX for papers, theses, and journal submissions. It is a lightweight utility rather than a full reference manager or literature search platform.
