STORM

What is STORM?

STORM (Synthesis of Topic Outlines through Retrieval and Multi-perspective question asking) is an open-source AI research system developed at Stanford University that autonomously writes comprehensive, Wikipedia-quality articles on any topic. The system works by first generating diverse perspectives and questions about a topic, then conducting extensive web research to gather information from multiple sources, and finally synthesizing everything into a well-structured, heavily cited article. Unlike simple summarization tools, STORM produces articles with proper section organization, inline citations, and a references section that readers can verify. Available both as a free web application and as open-source code on GitHub, STORM demonstrates the potential of AI-driven research synthesis and is particularly valuable for quickly getting up to speed on unfamiliar topics.
