The Editor
#Build, test, and write. All in one place.
A visual editor that doubles as a playground for the Document Engine and a full document workspace. Create templates, test them with live data, write long-form documents, or generate complete drafts with AI. For teams that want one tool instead of five.
#Update templates live. Without touching your automation.
Your automation pipeline runs on the Document Engine. When a template needs changes, you open it in the editor, adjust it, and save. The next render picks up the update automatically. No redeployment, no broken integrations, no downtime.
Edit templates in real time
Change text, adjust layout, update variables. Every change is instantly reflected in the next API render without touching your automation setup.
Visual editing for everyone
Click to format, drag to rearrange. Non-technical team members can update templates without writing a single line of code.
Errors caught before rendering
Broken references, missing variables, and structural issues are flagged in the editor. Not after 1,000 documents have been generated.
Automatic references and indices
Table of contents, list of figures, and bibliography are generated from your content. Always accurate, zero manual effort.
#Integrates into your existing workflow
Import what you have, export what others need. Autype works with your existing tools and formats. No lock-in, no conversion headaches.
Bring your existing documents
Import from PDF (even photographed), DOCX, Markdown, and JSON. Switch to Autype without starting over.
Export for any workflow
Send PDF to your client, DOCX to a colleague who prefers Word, or ODT for open-source teams. One document, every format.
Works with your team's tools
Not everyone uses the same editor. Export to DOCX so others can continue in Word or Google Docs. You keep the source of truth in Autype.
No lock-in, ever
Your content stays yours. Export everything as Markdown, JSON, or standard document formats at any time.
#From a single prompt to a finished document
Describe what you need and the AI creates a fully structured document with sections, variables, styles, and layout. Use it as a one-off or save it as a reusable template. From idea to production-ready output in minutes.
From prompt to production template
Describe your document. The AI generates structure, headings, placeholder variables, and styling. You review and refine, then connect it to your data source.
Use your existing content
Upload reference documents to your knowledge base. The AI uses your own data, brand guidelines, and examples to generate templates that match your standards.
Data-aware generation
Attach Excel, CSV, or images. The AI reads them and builds the template around your actual data structure.
Styles and layout included
AI generates matching styles, headers, footers, and illustrations. You get a production-ready template, not just a text outline.
#Your format, your choice
Switch between Markdown and JSON with one click. The editor shows you both representations of the same document. Use the visual toolbar if you prefer clicking, or write Markdown directly if you think in code.
Visual toolbar for non-developers
Team members who don't write code can build and update templates with a familiar toolbar. Bold, headings, tables, images: everything is one click away.
Markdown and JSON for developers
Switch to the code view and edit the raw Markdown or JSON directly. The editor highlights syntax in real time and validates your structure as you type.
Live PDF preview
See the final rendered document side by side while you edit. Every change is reflected instantly. What you see is what gets rendered.
One document, two representations. Markdown for readability, JSON for full control. Switch between them any time without losing anything.
#Dynamic data in every document
Add variables anywhere in your document, then fill them with real data via API, CSV, or the UI. Test different values right in the editor before connecting your workflow.
Text, images, lists, and tables
Variables support every data type you need. Insert a client logo, a dynamic table, or conditional text blocks.
Test and bulk generate
Test your template with sample data in the editor. Then upload CSV or Excel to generate hundreds of documents in seconds.
API-ready from day one
Every variable you define in the editor is immediately available via the REST API. No separate configuration needed.
Built-in variables
Page numbers, total pages, current date, and other system variables are available automatically in every document.
#Standard Markdown vs Autype Markdown+
Standard Markdown was designed for web content. Autype Markdown+ extends it for professional documents: styling, variables, citations, and print layout are built into the syntax.
| Capability | Markdown | Markdown+ |
|---|---|---|
| Headings, bold, italic | ||
| Lists and blockquotes | ||
| Links and images | ||
| Custom fonts, colors, and spacing | ||
| Dynamic variables and templates | ||
| Citations and bibliography | ||
| Table of contents, list of figures | ||
| Charts, diagrams, and math | ||
| Page breaks and layout control |
These differences matter because professional documents need more than bold and italic. With Autype Markdown+, you don't need separate tools for styling, references, or layout.
#Consistent brand, zero effort
Define styles once, apply them everywhere. Global defaults, element-specific overrides, headers, footers, and reusable style presets keep every document consistent.
Global defaults
Font, size, color, and spacing defined once for the entire document.
Element-specific styles
Override styles per heading level, paragraph type, or table.
Headers and footers
Three-column layout with logos, page numbers, and dynamic content.
Style presets
Save and reuse styles across documents. Apply corporate design in one click.
#From simple reports to professional publications
Start with a quick report. When you need citations, cross-references, or a bibliography, everything is already built in. Autype grows with your requirements, from internal memos to peer-reviewed papers.
6 citation styles, one click
APA, Harvard, IEEE, Chicago, MLA, Vancouver. Switch between them instantly and every citation in the document reformats automatically.
BibTeX and CSL-JSON import
Bring your existing bibliography. All metadata is preserved and ready to cite. No re-entering sources.
DOI and ISBN lookup
Enter a DOI or ISBN and Autype fetches the full citation data automatically. No manual entry, no copy-paste errors.
Reliable cross-references
Reference any heading, figure, table, or code listing by anchor. Numbers update automatically when content changes. Table of contents, list of figures, and bibliography are always accurate.
#Built for teams that move fast
Multiple team members work on the same document simultaneously. Legal reviews the wording while design adjusts the layout. Changes sync instantly and every version is saved automatically.
Simultaneous editing
See other users' cursors and selections in real time. A developer adjusts variables while a designer refines the layout.
Review and approval workflows
Leave comments on any section. Discuss template changes in context before they go live in production.
Full version history
Every change is saved automatically. Compare versions, roll back if needed. Your automation always uses the latest approved template.
Team management
Organize templates into projects. Set Admin and Editor roles to control who can publish template changes.
Should we add a comparison table in the Financial Overview section? The stakeholders mentioned they want year-over-year data.
Good idea! I'll add the Q3 vs Q4 comparison. Should be ready by EOD.

Can we move the timeline chart to page 2?
