Typst: The open-source, markup-based typesetting system; it delivers LaTeX power with superior speed and integrated scripting.

Typst is a modern, open-source typesetting system built to replace complex tools like LaTeX: it offers a powerful, intuitive markup language with a tightly integrated scripting system. Its Rust-based compiler delivers blazing-fast, incremental compilation (milliseconds) for instant previews, generating professional PDFs, PNGs, and SVGs. The platform supports first-class mathematics, comprehensive bibliography management (e.g., Zotero sync), and a collaborative web application, making it the efficient choice for technical and scientific document creation.

## Recent Public Talks and Demos

### [Parallel Coding Agents Without Merge Hell](https://columbus.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_79je3WEumVU)

Multiple coding agents in parallel against the same codebase by treating version control changes as the fundamental unit of agent work. For the demo, I'll show agents working simultaneously on distinct tasks across a shared repo, with their work composed cleanly

### [Making PDFs editable, using typst, LLMs and crazy fast inference](https://seattle.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_3c8BxGevKFo)

I'll be presenting a demo of a tool that takes in a PDF and outputs a typst conversion of that PDF, with similar style setting as the original PDF. Typst is a markdown based typesetting system that is similar to LateX but uses significantly less compute resources and enables local WASM based compilation. As the documents compile isntantly, it enables quicker feedback to LLMs to reproduce visual elements in the documents as is. After I have the typst code ready, I will use a custom cursor like interface to demo context aware precise edits on the document without changing any of the document structure.
