Storm: From the developers at Stanford: STORM (Synthesis of Topic Outlines through Retrieval and Multi-perspective Question Asking) is a research project from Stanford University designed to generate long, grounded, Wikipedia-like articles from scratch. It focuses on the pre-writing stage by discovering diverse perspectives, simulating conversations with topic experts, and curating collected information to create comprehensive outlines. This system aims to improve the breadth and depth of articles, making them well-organised and informative.
