How ChatGPT Prism works

GPT-5.2 is embedded directly into the document workflow, allowing researchers to chat, edit, and reason within the manuscript itself. Instead of switching between tools, users interact with AI in context, making revisions or exploring ideas without breaking focus. Here’s a complete step-by-step guide to using it.

  • Log in to Prism using your personal ChatGPT account by visiting prism.openai.com
  • Create a new project by selecting “New Project” and choosing either a blank LaTeX file or uploading existing .tex documents
  • Add collaborators by clicking the invite option to work with co-authors in real time with shared AI assistance.
  • Interact with the AI through the sidebar to review equations, verify data consistency, or refine sections of the manuscript.
  • Export the final output as a publication-ready PDF along with the complete LaTeX source files.
