About STORM

STORM is a research prototype from Stanford that turns a topic into a long, Wikipedia-style report with citations. It simulates multi-perspective questioning, searches for supporting sources, and organizes findings into a structured article, while Co-STORM lets users steer the research interactively. It is aimed at students, researchers, and curious readers who want a sourced first draft on unfamiliar subjects rather than a short chatbot answer.
