EvoDesign: Agentic Editable Diagram Creation via Design Expertise Evolution

Read the original on arXiv Computation and Language →

EvoDesign is an agentic framework that enables editable diagram creation by constructing a diagram manifest through coordinated structure, style, and layout agents, then rendering it in a diagnostic verification environment that provides defect signals and VLM-based critique. The system uses an evolution mechanism to distill refinement traces into a three-tier design expertise memory, promoting strategies only with repeated cross-context support. CanvasBench, a new benchmark and evaluation protocol, assesses content, visual, and cognitive dimensions, and experiments show EvoDesign achieves a strong balance across content fidelity, visual organization, and cognitive usability compared to pixel, code-based, agentic, one-shot schema, and canvas-native methods.

Editable Visual Design

Editable Visual Design introduces a new design paradigm that combines a Coding Agent with a Vision‑Language Model (VLM) and an image generation model. The VLM acts as the creative brain, understanding requirements, planning tasks, and judging aesthetics, while the image generator produces isolated visual assets on demand. The agent follows an "imagine first, then act" workflow, generating assets, writing native HTML/CSS, and refining the design through visual feedback, ultimately producing editable, layer‑wise artifacts with real text that can be adjusted via a graphical interface.

The Hard Part Comes After Search: Benchmarking Web Agents on Synthesizing, Organizing, and Displaying Knowledge

The paper introduces KNOWS, a benchmark for evaluating web agents that act as assistants by retrieving, synthesizing, and presenting information across complex, multi-step browser tasks. It outlines a task design rubric, evaluation protocol combining deterministic checks with LLM judgments, and reports that current agents achieve only modest success, with the best performing agent succeeding on less than 3% of tasks. The study highlights significant gaps in agents’ tool use, visual understanding, and long‑horizon reasoning.
