PersonaMem-v3: Toward Omni-Platform Personal Intelligence for Holistic User Understanding, Recommendation, and Agentic Tasks

PersonaMem-v3 is a benchmark and evaluation harness designed to assess omni-platform personal intelligence for AI agents. It is built from over one million anonymized real-world engagement histories, covering social media, chatbots, calendars, and AI companions, and tracks user preferences and habits over time. The benchmark tests agents on personalization, LLM-powered recommendation, proactiveness, agentic tool use, and geo-temporal reasoning, evaluating their ability to infer holistic user understanding, personalize responses, rerank recommendations, follow user steering, and avoid inappropriate personalization.

Personalizing Personal Health Interfaces: Co-Design with Generative AI

The paper explores how generative AI can lower the barrier to personalizing health dashboards by enabling users to co-design interfaces in Figma Make. In a study with 14 participants, redesigns of Google and Apple Health focused on personal context, future planning, and interactive experiences, though conversational AI designs tended toward chat-window conventions. AI facilitated the materialization of loosely articulated ideas, yet model defaults and generation latency influenced iteration, and the process highlighted interpretability and accountability over privacy, trust, and emotional safety.

Generative Artificial Intelligence Chatbots for Motivational Interviewing: A Scoping Review From System Design to Intervention Outcomes

This scoping review examined 48 studies on generative AI chatbots designed to deliver motivational interviewing (MI). It found that most systems were text‑based and disembodied, with about half incorporating dynamic adaptation, and that safety reporting was inconsistent. While user perceptions were generally positive and many studies reported MI‑consistent interactions, evidence for sustained behavioral or functional change remains limited.

Bridging Search and CRM: Productionizing AI Product Research Agents for Customer Re-Engagement

The paper introduces a production-ready framework that connects e‑commerce search and CRM systems via AI‑powered Product Research Agents. These agents detect users with exploratory purchase intent, perform multi‑agent research using behavioral data, external knowledge, and catalog information, and then send personalized product recommendations through WhatsApp. In a 23‑day deployment, the system sent about 15,000 notifications, achieving higher click‑through rates than standard campaigns and generating downstream purchases and GMV gains.
