How to use the converter

Paste a ChatGPT response containing math, get a Google Doc with the math properly rendered.

Steps

  1. Prompt ChatGPT for the content you want. Math comes out cleaner when you tell the model to wrap inline math in $ ... $ and display math in $$ ... $$ — see the sample prompt below.
  2. Click ChatGPT's "Copy markdown" button on the response. Do not drag-select the rendered output — the LaTeX delimiters get stripped and the converter will fail.

  3. Enter the email address of the Google account you're currently signed into in this browser, and paste the markdown into the textarea on the home page. (If you enter a different email, you'll land on Google's "Request access" page after submitting — the doc gets shared with whichever address you typed, not your signed-in account.)
  4. Submit. You'll be redirected to the Google Doc immediately — this is the only delivery channel that works. Drive's share-notification emails get silently filtered for service-account shares; don't wait for one.
  5. Once on the doc: you have full edit access. To put a copy in your own Drive (so it survives even if this app's underlying service account is rotated), use File → Make A Copy. The copy you make is owned by you and counts against your personal Drive quota only.

Background: the converter uses a Google service account to create the doc. The SA owns the original until you make a copy. Sharing is always with the email you specify — there are no public anyone-with-link URLs.

Suggested ChatGPT prompt

To maximize the chance every equation renders cleanly, prepend your prompt with:

Write every mathematical expression in LaTeX. Use inline math for short expressions by wrapping them in $ ... $ and display math for multi-line work by wrapping it in $$ ... $$. Do not mix LaTeX with plain text numbers, and escape currency values with \$.
