Same Stories, Different Journeys: Exploring Persona-Grounded Conversational Agents for Supporting Career Exploration with Peers' Posts

Read the original on arXiv AI →

The paper introduces JobMate, a persona‑grounded conversational agent that transforms peer job‑seeking posts into interactive dialogues to aid career exploration. In a study with 24 participants, JobMate helped users select relevant cases, ask follow‑up questions, and articulate constraints, contrasting with a static browsing tool that left reconstruction to users. The authors discuss design implications for blending authentic peer experiences with generative AI.

DocuTeam: Mixed-Initiative Multi-Agent Discussions around Evolving Documents

DocuTeam is a mixed‑initiative multi‑agent discussion system that allows both users and agents to start and steer conversations around evolving documents. Agents monitor changes to the document and proactively initiate or redirect discussions, while users can shape the dialogue or adopt agent suggestions. In a within‑subjects study with 20 participants, DocuTeam produced outcomes that were rated as more novel, relevant, and specific compared to a baseline, without increasing cognitive load.
