OpenAI has introduced Prism, an all-new AI-powered workspace designed for simplifying how scientists write, collaborate and publish research. Built specifically for scientific workflows, Prism integrates GPT-5.2 directly into a cloud-based, LaTeX-native environment, aiming to reduce the fragmentation that researchers face while juggling multiple tools. It is available for free to users with a personal ChatGPT account.
The Prism allows unlimited projects and collaborators, with broader availability for Business, Enterprise, and Education users coming soon. Here’s everything, including the top features and how it works.
Prism combines scientific writing and AI reasoning in a single workspace. The researchers can draft and revise papers with full contextual awareness of equations, references and figures. The platform supports real-time collaboration, literature discovery, equation handling and even converts handwritten diagrams into LaTeX. OpenAI also offers voice-based editing for quick and hands-free changes.

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.
