Science shapes nearly every part of daily life—from the medicines we rely on, to the energy that powers our homes, to the systems that keep us safe. But the pace of scientific progress is still constrained by how research is done day to day. While AI has advanced rapidly, much of the everyday work of science still relies on tools that haven’t fundamentally changed in decades.

We’re introducing **Prism**, a free, AI-native workspace for scientists to write and collaborate on research, powered by GPT‑5.2. Prism offers unlimited projects and collaborators and is available today to anyone with a ChatGPT personal account.

Prism will be available soon to organizations using ChatGPT Business, Enterprise, and Education plans.

## From isolated tools to integrated workflows

Over the past year, we’ve begun to see AI accelerate scientific work across domains. Advanced reasoning systems like GPT‑5 are [helping push the frontiers⁠](https://openai.com/index/gpt-5-mathematical-discovery/) of mathematics, [accelerating the analysis⁠](https://openai.com/index/accelerating-science-gpt-5/) of human immune-cell experiments, and [speeding up experimental iteration⁠](https://openai.com/index/accelerating-biological-research-in-the-wet-lab/) in molecular biology.

We’re still early, but it’s clear that AI will play a meaningful role in how science advances.

At the same time, much of the everyday work of research—drafting papers, revising arguments, managing equations and citations, and coordinating with collaborators —remains fragmented across disconnected tools. Researchers often move between editors, PDFs, LaTeX compilers, reference managers, and separate chat interfaces, losing context and interrupting focus.

Prism is our first step toward addressing this fragmentation.

## What Prism is

**Prism is a free workspace for scientific writing and collaboration**, with [GPT‑5.2⁠](https://openai.com/index/gpt-5-2-for-science-and-math/)—our most advanced model for mathematical and scientific reasoning—integrated directly into the workflow.

It brings drafting, revision, collaboration, and preparation for publication into a single, cloud-based, LaTeX-native workspace. Rather than operating as a separate tool alongside the writing process, GPT‑5.2 works within the project itself—with access to the structure of the paper, equations, references, and surrounding context.

Prism builds on the foundation of Crixet, a cloud-based LaTeX platform that OpenAI acquired and has since ev
