AI Agents and Education: Simulated Practice at Scale
Generative AI is explored for educational simulations. The prototype PitchQuest uses AI agents to provide personalized learning experiences, practice pitching skills, and offer feedback in a scalable manner.

Chatbots are able to produce high-quality, sophisticated text in natural language. The authors of this paper believe that AI can be used to overcome three barriers to learning in the classroom: improving transfer, breaking the illusion of explanatory depth, and training students to critically evaluate explanations. The paper provides background inf

I wrote a Python script a few weeks ago to get an AI agent to play a coach and another AI agent to play a coachee. The way they bounced off one another was a great insight on what refinements would enable AI to facilitate more resonant, higher fidelity coaching as opposed to a conversation driven by relevance and people's preferences.

AutoGen's design offers multiple advantages: a) it gracefully navigates the strong but imperfect generation and reasoning abilities of these LLMs; b) it leverages human understanding and intelligence, while providing valuable automation through conversations between agents; c) it simplifies and unifies the implementation of complex LLM workflows as...

Chaining LLM Agents instead of LLM calls. Seems like a pretty heavy prompt engineering effort.
They are pushing for agents that are specialized in a certain tasks through RAG / finetuning, where CAMEL and other frameworks failed.
One interesting area for exploration might be finetuning LLMs for collaboration before finetuning them for tasks.
