OpenAI Prism: AI-Native Workspace for Scientific Research and Writing

OpenAI Prism is a free, collaborative workspace specifically designed for scientific writing and research. It integrates the GPT-5.2 language model directly into a LaTeX-native environment, providing scientists with a unified platform for drafting, editing, and collaborating on research papers and technical documents.

Features

Unified LaTeX Workspace

Cloud-based and LaTeX-native environment requiring no local installation or environment management. Draft, organize, compile, and preview scientific manuscripts with complex math and diagrams all within one platform.

Unlimited Collaboration

Supports unlimited collaborators and projects with real-time collaboration capabilities. Multiple users can work on the same paper simultaneously with comments, instant previews, and automatic conflict resolution without manual merges.

Deep AI Integration (GPT-5.2)

Built-in assistant powered by GPT-5.2 that understands entire manuscripts including past drafts, equations, tables, and context. Assists with drafting, revising, restructuring papers, checking logic, refining arguments, and generating or refining equations and diagrams.

AI-Assisted Proofreading and Citations

Automated citation management integrating with arXiv and Zotero, reference checking, and related literature discovery. Proofreads scientific writing, suggests improvements, and resolves LaTeX errors and formatting issues.

Equation and Diagram Conversion

Converts photos of handwritten equations or diagrams directly into LaTeX code, streamlining the process of digitizing mathematical content from notes or whiteboards.

Project-Aware AI Tools

AI understands the entire project context and offers contextually relevant suggestions. ChatGPT agents work directly alongside the document, making edits and suggestions in context rather than in a separate chat interface.
