This is an automated system developed by Stanford University that can automatically generate comprehensive and structured long articles like Wikipedia articles from scratch.
It can search the internet, gather information automatically, and simulate conversations between experts and authors to generate structured article outlines, and finally produce complete articles.
In addition, it also polishes articles, improves sentences, structure, and ensures the fluency and accuracy of the content.
Workflow:
-
Automation of pre-writing research: In the traditional process of writing long articles, pre-writing research (including topic research, information gathering, and outlining) is a time-consuming and complex task. STORM automates this process by searching the internet, automatically collecting detailed information on specific topics. It helps authors efficiently gather and organize the necessary information, thereby improving writing efficiency.
-
Integration of multiple perspectives: For any given topic, to delve deeper into the subject, STORM asks questions from multiple perspectives. Exploring and understanding information from different perspectives is key to producing comprehensive and in-depth articles.
-
Simulating conversations: The system simulates dialogue scenarios, like an interaction between an expert and a writer, to better understand information and generate more precise follow-up questions.
-
Generating structured article outlines: A clear, logical article outline is the foundation of high-quality writing. After collecting enough information, STORM organizes this information into a structured content outline to provide a framework for writing articles.
-
Article generation and polishing: Based on the outline and collected materials, the system can generate complete articles and optimize the content through subsequent polishing processes, such as removing redundant information, adding summary sections, etc.
