Prepare the source
Choose the supplied text, data or process that supports the point. Keep important caveats and definitions available for review.
Use Prism when the job is persistent structured maker inputs and reviewed visual revisions. ChatGPT Work can create and edit documents, spreadsheets and presentations; ChatGPT also has data/code and image-editing workflows. It is broader than generating a single picture. Compare the same source material, the changes you need to make and the editable file your colleague needs. Prism rendering does not independently verify the source.

ChatGPT Work can create and edit documents, spreadsheets and presentations; ChatGPT also has data/code and image-editing workflows. It is broader than generating a single picture. For persistent structured maker inputs and reviewed visual revisions in Prism, review the accepted data and structure, preserve the source context and inspect the result. You can use both tools when their respective outputs fit the project.
Inspect an actual Prism infographic, then choose a layout that fits the source and the point readers need to understand. Check claims and figures against the underlying material.
A finished Prism infographic example. Check its figures, units and source period before using the layout with other data.
A finished data infographic showing four department variances against plan, the net variance and a closing action.
Illustrative figures are not customer performance results.
Choose the supplied text, data or process that supports the point. Keep important caveats and definitions available for review.
Use a process, comparison or data layout that fits the source. Check labels, figures, units and reading order against the original material.
Review the full-size output at the intended reading size. Check contrast, alternative text, image rights and the source behind every claim.
Keep the brief and source figures beside the visual. Check each label, unit and claim against its source, then review the sequence, grouping, contrast and alternative text at the final size. A polished infographic does not validate its inputs.
Review embedded photos and generated artwork for rights, crop and relevance. Inspect the complete export at its intended display size, including small labels, source notes and reading order, before sharing it.
A composed visual does not independently verify its claims. Confirm the source, rights, figures, reading order and accessibility with the intended audience before publishing.
Start with one real source table or defined process. Choose the supported Prism maker, inspect its accepted values and relationships, then make one revision and export the file your destination needs. This tests the persistent structured maker inputs and reviewed visual revisions workflow before you move more work.

Start with one real source table or defined process. Choose the supported Prism maker, inspect its accepted values and relationships, then make one revision and export the file your destination needs. This tests the persistent structured maker inputs and reviewed visual revisions workflow before you move more work.
A generated picture, a data chart and an editable file have different review and correction workflows.
Choose by the source, editing controls and final file you need. Prism offers persistent maker inputs and accepted visual revisions; ChatGPT supports broader writing, data, code and editable-file workflows.
Paste a CSV or numbers and get a clean chart in any of 22 types, from bar, line and pie to waterfall, Gantt and heatmap. Rendered to SVG, so the values are drawn from the accepted data, never repainted.
Paste the steps ChatGPT wrote and get a structured diagram — process, cycle, pyramid, funnel, tree, pillars, matrix, Venn, concentric, stack, or graph.
Map a decision flow or a swimlane and Prism lays it out cleanly, with exact labels and consistent spacing — no smeared text.
Turn a single stat, quote, callout, definition, or comparison into a sharp, on-brand card you can drop into a deck, doc, or post — with the figure intact.
Change the data, labels, and layout and the makers re-render exactly. There's real structure underneath, not a baked image you have to re-prompt.
Prism applies the selected maker styling or an eligible saved Brand Kit; inspect AI image styling separately, so a batch stays consistent instead of changing every re-run.
Bring a topic or a draft and Prism shapes it into a structured, content-backed infographic you can edit and export as PNG or HTML.
Because the makers are deterministic, the same input always produces the same exact output — no redrawn, garbled text or invented figures.
Bring the reviewed outline, stats narrative or steps. Choose a structured maker for accepted inputs or an AI infographic for composed imagery, then inspect display settings, source context and the actual output.
Bring the reviewed content and choose a structured maker or composed-image workflow. Inspect accepted inputs, source context and the final output.
Brainstorm the angle, write the copy, and have it structure your stats or process steps — this is exactly what it's great at.
Use a maker for accepted numbers, labels or relationships. For an AI infographic, bring the material and inspect the generated image; its editing and export differ from a structured chart.
Choose a chart, diagram, flowchart, or stat card and review the selected labels and values against your source. Deterministic makers render the structured values supplied to them. Document-to-visual checks numeric values against its attached source and blocks unmatched values; that check does not cover every infographic entrypoint or prove that a matched value belongs beside the right label.
Edit supported data or labels, render again and inspect the display. Choose the output format for the actual visual kind: maker exports and generated infographic PNG/HTML have different editing limits.
Honest about where each one wins — they're complements, not rivals.
