OpenAI introduces Prism, an AI-native workspace for scientists

Microsoft (MSFT)-backed OpenAI introduced 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, the ChatGPT maker said. Prism will be available soon to organizations using ChatGPT Business, Enterprise, and Education plans. “Over the past year, we’ve begun to see AI accelerate scientific work across domains,” OpenAI said. “Advanced reasoning systems like GPT-5 are helping push the frontiers of mathematics, accelerating the analysis of human immune-cell experiments, and speeding up experimental iteration 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.”
