OpenAI launches Prism, a new AI workspace for scientists

OpenAI launched Prism, a free AI-enhanced workspace for scientists that integrates with GPT-5.2 to help researchers write and review scientific papers. The tool functions as an advanced word processor that can assess claims, revise text, and search prior research while supporting LaTeX formatting and diagram creation from whiteboard drawings. Unlike standalone research AI, Prism requires human guidance and aims to accelerate scientific work through better workflow integration, similar to how AI tools transformed software engineering.
