OpenAI has launched Prism, a free AI-native workspace designed to modernize how scientists write, revise, and collaborate on research. Powered by GPT-5.2, the cloud-based platform integrates AI directly into scientific workflows through a LaTeX-native environment.

The tool consolidates fragmented research tasks, including drafting papers, managing citations, formatting equations, and coordinating across teams, into a unified platform. Researchers can collaborate in real time with unlimited contributors, search and cite academic literature, convert handwritten equations into LaTeX, and revise manuscripts without switching tools.

Prism builds on Crixet, a cloud-based LaTeX platform acquired by OpenAI. The workspace is available today to anyone with a ChatGPT personal account, with support for Business, Enterprise, and Education plans expected soon.

The launch reflects OpenAI’s broader push to embed large language models into core productivity tools. GPT-5.2 has already demonstrated impact in fields like mathematics and molecular biology, and Prism aims to apply that capability to everyday scientific work.
