Our mission
Make the world's research legible
The most important ideas of our time are locked inside dense PDFs that were written for a few hundred specialists. Prism exists to set those ideas free — to turn intimidating papers into visual, interactive stories that anyone curious can genuinely understand, without dumbing anything down.
Accuracy first
Every explainer is fact-checked against the source paper. We simplify language, never the truth.
Always cite the source
The original paper is one click away, always. We add understanding on top — we never replace it.
Interactive by default
If a concept can be felt by touching it, we build the widget. Reading should be doing.
How we're building this
We're starting with a hand-picked shelf of the most influential papers — the ones that changed a field — and rebuilding each one as an interactive explainer. New papers land regularly, and the community steers what comes next through requests. Our first paper is the one that started the modern AI era: Attention Is All You Need.
