What Paperite is
Paperite is a web-based collaborative AI workspace for academic writing.

The editor supports Rich Text, Markdown, LaTeX, and Typst while preserving document structure across formats. Exports include Word, PDF, LaTeX, Typst, Markdown, and BibTeX. Collaboration features include real-time editing, inline comments, and version history; changes are cached locally and synced after reconnecting. The Free plan is free and includes 10 PDF uploads, 3 AI document generations, 30 AI edits, 50 AI chat messages, and DOCX and PDF export.
