This project provides an AI-powered academic writing assistant designed to automate literature searching, citation generation, and LaTeX template creation for research papers. It targets researchers and students seeking to streamline the initial stages of academic writing.

How It Works

The tool leverages GPT-4 for content generation and integrates with Hugging Face Spaces for accessible deployment. It automates literature discovery with verifiable citations and generates LaTeX templates with placeholders for figures, tables, and algorithms, aiming to simplify the drafting process.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Install dependencies: pip install -r requirements.txt
• Set OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable.
• Run with: python auto_backgrounds.py
• Requires Python 3.10.10.
• Available on Hugging Face Spaces: https://huggingface.co/spaces/auto-academic/auto-draft

Highlighted Details

• Automates literature search and citation.
• Generates LaTeX templates with pre-defined sections for figures, tables, and algorithms.
• Low hardware requirements, runnable on Hugging Face Spaces.
• Customizable prompts for greater control over output.
