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

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.

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.

The Living Library: Transforming Archival Collections into Conversational Knowledge Systems -- Lessons from the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library

The Living Library is an end‑to‑end framework that converts fragmented digital archives into governed, conversational exhibit experiences. Developed at the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library, it digitizes a 300,000‑record collection, enriches it with OCR and metadata, and publishes it to a hybrid dense/semantic index. The system supports curator review via the Archivist App, powers a researcher interface, and runs Talk to TR—a museum exhibit where a digital human embodiment of Theodore Roosevelt answers visitors’ questions using Cross‑Era Analogical Grounding and dual‑path retrieval to keep responses grounded and responsive.
