TikZ Editor brings WYSIWYG to LaTeX figure drawing
A new open-source editor lets users create TikZ figures by dragging and resizing elements while keeping source code and rendered output in sync. The tool, built almost entirely by an AI coding agent, parses TikZ code to track each object's source location. It also includes converters from SVG, PPTX, and IPE formats.

The editor's reliance on AI to reimplement a large fraction of TikZ is impressive, but its practical utility may be limited by the niche audience of LaTeX users.
