OpenAI launches Prism, a free AI workspace for scientists
Prism is a scientific writing editor that works with LaTeX and GPT-5.2, and it is available to anyone with a ChatGPT account.
On January 27, OpenAI launched a new tool called Prism, an AI-powered workspace for writing scientific research.
What does it do?
- A word processor built for scientific papers
- Works with LaTeX, which scientists use to write equations
- Deeply integrated with GPT-5.2
- Runs in the browser
Who is it for?
Free for anyone with a ChatGPT account.
Why?
OpenAI says ChatGPT receives around 8.4 million messages a week on hard science topics.
Kevin Weil, head of OpenAI for Science, said: "I think 2026 will be for AI and science what 2025 was for AI in software engineering."
OpenAI says Prism is meant to help scientists, not to do research without humans.
