Introducing Prism

Speed of Light InDesign Automation

Prism puts the speed of light behind your InDesign automation. Deploy it fast, learn it quickly, and set up your templates in no time. Prism takes the InDesign files you already have and generates new sizes and layouts from them, with rendition times limited only by the compute resources you give it.

Content at the speed of light

MEET PRISM

All the power of Paginator. Rebuilt for speed.

Prism is built for speed at every level, with all the power of Paginator, rebuilt from the ground up.

FAST deployment
Up and running in no time.

Quick learning curve
Your team can pick it up fast.

FAST template setup
Get templates data-aware in no time.

Fast rendition times
Limited only by available compute resources

Content Velocity

Prism uses state-of-the-art AI, along with modern deterministic code, to optimize the speed at which content gets created and published. We put the most powerful dynamic publishing technology in the full control of designers, empowering them to create content faster than ever before, with arbitrary scalability. Any amount of content can dynamically flow from data through intelligent templates created with Prism.

Prism is optimized for speed and efficiency. We deliver speed at every step: deployment, learning curve, template setup, ease of publishing, and scale of content generation.

HOW IT WORKS

Design. Approve. Publish.

Using Adobe InDesign, designers create templates, and Prism automatically analyzes the templates and makes them data-aware. After the designer approves the results, Prism generates output.

Design

Create your templates in InDesign.

Approve

Prism analyzes the layouts and data structures to make them data-aware. Review and approve the results.

Publish

Generate personalized output.

Millions of variations.

IN A SINGLE RUN

Thousands, even millions

Thousands, even millions of documents can be produced in a single run. Throughput scales alongside available computing resources.

REAL TIME

From web requests

Prism can also be used to generate images or documents from web requests, processing live data in real time.

EVERY FORMAT

One run, many outputs

Print documents
Digital publications
Images
Advertising assets
Editable InDesign files

Modularity, portability and integration

Prism is built to be extended. Not only can it run on our InDesign Server platform, it can also run on top of Adobe Firefly Services. It can interface with literally any AI engine, through our integration with Fluidfit.ai. It interoperates with any system in your workflow, from databases to DAMs to workflow systems.

Deep publishing expertise. A modern foundation.

Prism brings more than two decades of Silicon Publishing’s automation experience into a modern JavaScript platform. Our team includes original Adobe InDesign developers with deep expertise in typography, layout, and publishing at scale.

Silicon Publishing has long been a data publishing powerhouse, but when the time came to update our code base, Jeremiah Lynn, SPI’s brilliant, young engineer, took on the work. Jeremiah created Prism, the next evolution of SPI’s data publishing platform.

Prism takes things to a new level, incorporating our wish list for everything to do with turning data into beautiful publications. Modern JavaScript, with better support for all of the new web and programming technologies that didn’t exist when we first wrote our data publishing toolkit. Jeremiah’s work will also make it far easier to maintain and extend. I’m looking forward to working with Jeremiah and Prism in the years to come.

AI, under your control

AI assistance, on your terms.

AI is extremely powerful, if and only if it is under the full control of human beings. Therefore, with Prism, we are extremely transparent about where we utilize AI. We always offer a non-AI version of any part of the process: Prism is extremely configurable. If, for example, you don’t want to have it set up templates for you, there is an available manual process. If you don’t want it to resize templates for you, you can do so yourself. We use deterministic automation for core rendition processes, where something like an AI hallucination could risk the integrity of output.

Part of the process	AI-assisted	Manual option
Template setup	Prism analyzes your templates and makes them data-aware.	Set up templates yourself. A manual process is available.
Resizing	Prism resizes templates for you, from natural-language instructions.	Resize templates yourself.
Core rendition	Always deterministic automation, where something like an AI hallucination could risk the integrity of output.
