What it does
Hand it scrawled notes, a scanned textbook or a CSV and describe what you want in plain English; it produces compiled PDFs — lecture notes with proper equations and TikZ diagrams, a two-page cheat sheet from a 162-page book, a thesis, a poster — across 27 templates. Verify everything before submitting: transcription of handwriting and of mathematics both fail in ways that read as confident. Scanned copyrighted material stays yours to study, not to redistribute. No licence file was found.
