Murfy is a team of AI agents for the entire research writing workflow. Murfy helps to write and review your paper in context, fix LaTeX compile errors on the spot, verify reference papers and generate Beamer slides in minutes. Work with unlimited collaborators, real-time editing, free to start.
I'm Shounan, founder of Murple, the team behind Murfy.
Over the past 15 years I've written 10+ papers accepted at top-tier AI conferences (AAAI, EMNLP, SIGGRAPH, IROS), all in Overleaf. Every single time, the research wasn't the hard part, it was the writing. (Here's My Google Scholar if you're curious)
Formatting references at 2 A.M. before a deadline. Chasing co-authors for edits I needed yesterday. LaTeX compile errors with no useful message. Rebuilding the same slides from scratch for every single conference.
I kept asking myself: we have AI agents now, why is research writing still this hard?
So we built Murfy. Not another AI writing assistant bolted onto an editor, but an agent that actually works through the writing process with you: drafts with you, reviews your paper, revises based on reviewer comments, fixes your compile errors, and builds your Beamer slides.
Researchers in 120+ countries are using it now, and we're growing 50-100% month over month.
There's still a lot we want to improve, though, so I'd love to hear from anyone who's ever fought with a technical writing tool:
What’s the one part of research or technical writing that you hate doing and wish an AI agent would just take care of?
Tell me in the comments. I read all of them, and they'll shape what we build next.
Congratulations on the launch @shounan_an This looks slick. What part of the research workflow are users saving the most time on so far?
I've never considered attempting to publish to arXiv, but if I did, I imagine @Murfy AI would be super clutch and save me a ton of hassle dealing with LaTeX!
Congratulations @shounan_an ive tested it and it feels fast and it does solve issue for multi collaboration, only 2 issues i found in my 2nd iteration while adding and editing a Report
1. Even after replacing my report in the latex editor i was not able to get rid of the first page saying "Murfy Guide" 2. I was chatting with Murfy AI and somehow it responded with Korean language (Hangugeo)
answering the actual question: reformatting the same paper's citations and bibliography for a different venue after a rejection is my most hated part. every conference has its own citation style and reference format, and redoing that by hand for the third submission of the same paper feels like pure busywork with zero intellectual content. if Murfy can detect the target venue's style and just re-flow the references, that alone would sell me.
Thank you for publishing the product. I was a heavy LaTex User and it was my favorite way to write my thesis. Still I use Latex for lot of different purposes. Good Luck.
The auto LaTeX error fixing sounds great, that's always such a pain. Does it work well with custom templates too, or mostly standard ones?

Who hunted Murfy AI?
Murfy AI was hunted by Chris Messina. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it.
