STORM

STORM is a research assistant developed by Stanford University that helps users investigate complex topics through structured AI-guided research. Instead of simply answering questions, it collects reliable references, explores different perspectives, organizes information, and produces comprehensive reports with supporting citations. The system follows a research workflow by asking follow-up questions, expanding knowledge from multiple trusted sources, and presenting balanced summaries. Researchers, students, educators, journalists, and professionals can use STORM to understand unfamiliar subjects, review literature, and prepare well-structured reports. Its focus on source-backed research makes it especially useful for users who need more depth than a standard AI chatbot typically provides.
