Launched this week
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.
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.

@galdayan That's actually the exact situation that gave us the idea-even the third submission part. We've also seen people ask Murfy things like, "Convert this ACM paper to the Elsevier template" or "Make this fit the KCC format."
We're working on it now. The idea is that you choose the target venue, and Murfy handles the class, packages, structure, and bibliography style, then fixes any compile errors along the way. You'll still get a diff so you can review everything.
Bibliographies are the tricky bit, since changing the .bst file doesn't always cover everything. We'd rather show you what changed than silently rewrite your references.
Still in development, but coming soon!

@galdayan Resubmission after rejection, almost the same paper, different format: pure busywork with zero intellectual content. You nailed it.
That feature is coming in Murfy very soon.
Would love to test it against a real case when it's ready, what venue are you targeting next?
@shounan_an a NeurIPS workshop track, actually - tighter page limit and a different citation style than the venue we got rejected from, so it's good timing to have a real test case for the reformatting feature once it's out. happy to send over the diff between the two versions if that's useful for testing edge cases on your end.

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?
Murfy AI
@yelyzaveta_kibets There’s no template library behind it. it works directly with the files in your project, including any .cls or .sty files you’ve uploaded. So custom templates generally work the same way as standard ones. But we’ve tested it more heavily with standard document classes so far.
If you have a custom template that trips it up, please send it to us. Those are exactly the cases we want to test more.

@jaegeon_jo Working straight off the project files instead of a template list answers it, thanks. Didn't expect .sty uploads to be handled the same way.
Murfy AI
@yelyzaveta_kibets Glad that helped! Yep, .sty and .cls files are treated as part of the project just like everything else.

@yelyzaveta_kibets That's exactly the kind of feedback that shapes what we build next. If you do run into edge cases with custom templates, we'd genuinely love to hear about it, which goes straight to the team through chatting via our website: https://www.murfy.ai/
