The short version
- Prism is a web-based workspace for writing scientific papers, free with a ChatGPT account.
- It assesses claims, revises prose, searches prior work and supports LaTeX.
- It can turn whiteboard sketches into diagrams and gives ChatGPT full project context.
- It is built on GPT-5.2 and inspired by AI-native code editors such as Cursor and Windsurf.
Why it matters
OpenAI says ChatGPT already fields millions of weekly science questions; a purpose-built tool aims to capture serious research workflows.
