Title: Sounding board: Bespoke automation with LLMs in academic writing
Abstract: This is a two-part event. First, I will present a case study on rewriting a paper with Gemini. I will reflect on my experience and discuss ways to repurpose software development tools for common editing tasks, including the language server protocol, AI agents, and plain text. I will also discuss my experience with “context engineering” for academic writing.

In the second part, I will help you set up your laptop with the Gemini CLI and walk you through a general workflow. The overall goal is to have a critical discussion on the messy, lonely, and deeply personal work of writing when we allow it to become synthetic.
