Writing a well-structured and organized piece of content is crucial for effectively conveying information to readers. One of the key elements in achieving this is the use of top-down approach for writing, i.e, nailing down the outline before writing a single word. They provide a framework that guides the writer in presenting information in a logical and coherent manner.

In this blog post, we will explore an agentic system called STORM, which stands for Synthesis of Topic Outlines through Retrieval and Multi-perspective Question Asking. STORM is designed to assist in writing long-form articles by creating topic outlines, discovering diverse perspectives and simulating conversations with topic experts.

STORM can enhance the pre-writing stage, resulting in well-structured and comprehensive articles that rival those found on Wikipedia.
