Crixet

Based in the US, Crixet provides an advanced artificial intelligence platform designed for seamless creation, editing, and collaboration on LaTeX documents, catering primarily to academia and research professionals. Founded in 2024 in Austin, US, Crixet specializes in LaTeX document collaboration. The company has completed a total of 1 deal, with the most recent deal occurring on January 28, 2026. Crixet was acquired by OpenAI, a portfolio company of The Walt Disney Company, among other investors, although the financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Prism, formerly known as Crixet, offers a sophisticated platform designed for the creation, editing, and collaboration of LaTeX documents. This core product provides users with intelligent code completion, syntax highlighting, and seamless citation management, including integration with Zotero. The platform aims to enhance the writing process across various devices, allowing users to access their work from smartphones, tablets, or laptops without interrupting their workflow. By facilitating collaboration among team members—through features that allow commenting directly within the text—Prism targets academic institutions, researchers, and professionals who require efficient document management and real-time collaboration.

The service is available in multiple geographical markets, focusing on regions with a significant academic and research community, such as North America, Europe, and parts of Asia. Prism generates revenue primarily through subscription-based models, catering to both individual users and organizational clients. The platform offers tiered pricing plans that provide access to its comprehensive suite of tools, including advanced AI features for error detection and document collaboration. Transactions typically occur directly between the company and end-users, with customers purchasing subscriptions based on their specific needs, which may include access to premium features or team collaboration tools.

While precise pricing plans are not disclosed, they are structured to accommodate a variety of user requirements, ranging from individual researchers to larger academic institutions. These revenue streams reflect a commitment to providing a robust solution for users engaged in LaTeX document creation and collaboration. Looking ahead, Crixet plans to leverage its recent acquisition by OpenAI to launch its free research tool, Prism, in 2026. The company will utilize insights gained from this deal to expand its product suite and enhance user experience.

Additionally, Crixet aims to explore new markets within Europe and Asia, targeting specific academic institutions by the end of 2026. The funding from the acquisition is expected to support these initiatives and facilitate the development of new features that improve collaboration and document management capabilities.
