One workspace, any AI, your data: why Prism Labs exists

AI can do real work now. Most organisations still cannot hand it the work. Prism Labs exists because of the gap between those two sentences.

Three reasons the work does not get handed over

The work is scattered. A working day runs across chat, mail, a code editor, a terminal, notes and a meeting tool. Each has its own login and none of them shares memory with the others. An AI assistant bolted on to one of them sees one slice of the day.

The data cannot leave. The most valuable data an organisation holds is usually the data it may not upload to a vendor. "We can't send this to a third party" is where many AI projects stop.

The answer cannot be defended. An answer with no route back to its source is a guess with good grammar. Nobody puts their name under it, so nobody acts on it.

What we are building instead

One workspace. Prism Desktop puts chat, code, terminal, notes, mail, calendar and meetings in one app. Agents are members of the room, not a side panel. They sit in the same channels and threads as the people they work with.

Any AI. Prism runs the vendors' own agent programs side by side, and each agent signs in with its owner's own AI account. When a better model arrives, you switch. Nothing has to be rebuilt. More on that in bring your own AI subscription.

Your data. The app and your agents run on your machines. Keys stay in your computer's keychain. Only the prompt goes to the AI provider you chose. The security page sets this out in full, and what is data custody in AI explains the idea.

And an engine, for the data nobody else can touch

Alongside the workspace is an engine that turns a field's records into answers that show their sources, in seven repeatable steps. It already runs in three unrelated fields: a live pipeline tracking 51 real startup teams for an innovation programme, field-level weather and risk across 961k fields in one state, and 9.8 million US patents with every claim traceable to its source text. The industries page shows where it could go next.

One rule runs through all of it: agents propose, and a person decides.

If that sounds like the way you want to work, join the waitlist.
