Papilot helps researchers revise LaTeX papers directly from the PDF. Annotate a sentence or equation, let your AI agent make the edits, then review each change as a rendered before-and-after diff. Accept or reject changes individually before they reach your main branch. Free, open source, and runs locally with your own AI Agents.

Yes It wraps an LLM agent around a LaTeX project with git-based diffs and accept or reject controls. Mapping PDF selections to source is harder, but tools like SyncTeX make a working version achievable.
