Storyform
AI-powered tool for journalists and researchers to organize interview transcripts, extract quotes, and build story outlines.
What is Storyform?
AI Assistance for Journalism and Research
Storyform is an AI-powered tool built specifically for journalists and researchers to manage the messy middle stage of storytelling — organizing interview transcripts, extracting key quotes, identifying themes, and building coherent story outlines from raw research materials. It bridges the gap between raw interview data and a publishable narrative.
Organizing the Research Process
Journalists often conduct hours of interviews and gather mountains of documents before writing a single word. Storyform's AI helps manage this complexity by automatically transcribing audio interviews, extracting and tagging key quotes, identifying recurring themes across multiple sources, and generating structured story outlines from the collected material. This transforms weeks of organization work into hours.
