Ehsan's Growth Take

Storm represents what happens when academics build AI tools: the research methodology is sound but the UX is rough. The multi-perspective simulation produces genuinely comprehensive output — not the superficial "here are 5 points" that ChatGPT delivers. For content teams producing 10+ research-heavy articles monthly, Storm as a research starting point cuts research time by 60-70%.
