# Autype Documentation

> Stop fighting your document tools. Autype lets you write in Markdown, export pixel-perfect PDFs, DOCX, and ODT — and automate the entire process via API. AI-native. EU-hosted. Built for scale.

## Stop fighting your document tools

Word breaks at scale. LaTeX breaks your patience. Autype gives you the **simplicity of Markdown**, the **output quality of professional typesetting**, and the **automation power of a full REST API** — in one editor. Write once, export everywhere, automate everything.
