AutoAnalysis: An automated, self-updating meta-analysis of human-AI collaboration

AutoAnalysis is an automated, self‑updating meta‑analysis that aggregates evidence on human‑AI collaboration. Its latest run includes 1,955 effect sizes from 420 papers, showing that human‑AI combinations outperform humans alone on average but still lag behind the best of either humans or AI alone. The tool continuously incorporates new studies, offering cumulative insights into when and how human‑AI synergy occurs across different agents, tasks, and processes.

Kolab: Benchmarking Human-Agent Collaboration in Long-Horizon Workflows

Kolab is a new dataset comprising over 115 hours of screen recordings from 50 professionals across 40 occupations who collaborate with AI agents on realistic, long‑horizon tasks. The dataset includes participants’ judgments of collaboration quality and output, revealing varied coordination patterns and the need for agents to anticipate how experts will use or modify their contributions. Analysis shows current state‑of‑the‑art models overestimate collaboration success and struggle to differentiate high‑ from low‑quality interactions, indicating a gap in understanding long‑horizon human‑agent teamwork.

Atria Dawn: The Dawn of Agentic Superintelligence

The paper introduces Atria Dawn Preview, a foundation agentic language model aimed at scientific research and engineering workflows. Trained through a Verifiable Experience Pipeline, it performs competitively across 16 real‑world benchmarks, achieving the highest scores on five. The authors also present a detailed case study of human–AI collaboration, showing that while AI proposes methods and revisions, humans retain final decision‑making and guide the research direction.

Collaborating with AI Agents: Field Experiments on Teamwork, Productivity, and Performance

The study examined how AI agents affect teamwork, productivity, and performance using a large-scale experiment on the Pairit platform. Human-AI teams produced 50% more ads per worker and higher text quality, while human-human teams produced higher image quality. The results showed that task-oriented communication and delegation in human-AI teams improved productivity and quality across all dimensions, whereas interpersonal communication benefited human-human teams.

Efficient Test-Time Adaptation through Human-AI Interaction

The paper introduces Test-Time Adaptation through Human‑Agent Interaction (TAHI), a method that uses iterative human feedback to adapt AI agents to individual users’ criteria. By integrating cross‑session interaction data into agent context and weights, and building an evolving rubric module, the authors demonstrate that agents can improve task success by 4.5–20.9% after only a few interactions. The evolving rubric also serves as a scalable annotation tool, detecting 16.0–22.3% more failures than language models or humans alone, and personalized agents can even generalize improvements up to 8.8% across users.

Aligning Autoresearch: Co-Improvement between Agents and Humans

The paper investigates how autoresearch agents—AI systems that conduct research autonomously—benefit from interacting with human researchers, a process called co‑improvement. It presents empirical evidence that humans remain crucial during the ideation phase of benchmark creation, introduces HackBench to expose alignment gaps in current agents, and proposes two training methods: using human simulators to enhance agent interaction and applying reinforcement learning with expert‑aligned rubrics to improve communication. These approaches aim to make autoresearch agents more capable and aligned with human expectations.

AI for Auto-Research: Roadmap & User Guide

arXiv:2605. 18661v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: AI-assisted research is crossing a threshold: fully automated systems can now generate research papers for as little as $15, while long-horizon agents can execute experiments, draft manuscripts, and simulate critique with minimal human input.

PersonaTeaming: Supporting Persona-Driven Red-Teaming for Generative AI

PersonaTeaming introduces a workflow that incorporates personas into adversarial prompt generation for generative AI, achieving higher attack success rates than the state‑of‑the‑art RainbowPlus while preserving prompt diversity. The system is extended into a user‑facing playground that lets red‑teamers create their own personas and collaborate with AI to refine prompts, fostering diverse strategies. A user study with 11 industry practitioners found the playground produced useful outputs and encouraged out‑of‑the‑box thinking, even when suggestions were not strictly followed.
