Meet Prism, OpenAI's Free Research Workspace for Scientists - How to Try It

Prism offers unlimited free projects and seats, integrating GPT-5.2 to enhance drafting, collaboration, and hypothesis testing in scientific workflows, supporting human-led research.

  • On Tuesday, OpenAI launched Prism, a new scientific workspace accessible to anyone with a personal ChatGPT account starting today.
  • Around 1.3 million scientists submit more than 8 million queries weekly to ChatGPT, and researchers often move between editors, PDFs, LaTeX compilers, and chat interfaces, prompting AI-enabled workspaces.
  • Prism embeds GPT-5.2 into a LaTeX-native editor with a chat pane and project view, supports multiple chat agents, converts whiteboard photos into diagrams, and automates bibliography tasks.
  • Prism is subscription-free with unlimited projects and collaborators, OpenAI says it supports human researchers and will soon expand to ChatGPT Business, Team, Enterprise, and Education plans.
  • OpenAI aims to launch a 'research intern'-level tool by September and pursue automated AI research by March 2028, while GPT-5.2's use in a December paper shows early capability amid quality concerns.
