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.

The paper investigates the use of Multi-Agent Debate (MAD) for creative generation tasks such as narrative writing and scientific ideation. It finds that MAD’s convergence-driven design suppresses output diversity across independent runs, creating a trade-off with creative tasks. To address this, the authors propose Creative-MAD, which introduces Cognitive Lens Assignment and Embedding-based Peer Selection to preserve agent divergence, and demonstrate that it improves lexical and semantic diversity while maintaining quality.

arXiv:2606. 09848v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As generative and agentic AI becomes embedded in everyday products, practitioners face a persistent challenge: how to design human-AI coordination -- the ongoing mutual adjustment between users and AI systems as mediate through interfaces-that supports usability, trust, and safety.

Identifying promising scientific ideas remains an important challenge in research practice. Researchers commonly rely on small-group discussions or one-to-one interactions with a single large language model, yet these approaches often expose them to only a limited range of perspectives and directions.
arXiv:2606. 26859v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recommendation algorithm iteration is moving from an artisanal, engineer-bound process toward an industrialized research loop, but this transition remains blocked by a structural execution bottleneck: the idea-to-launch cycle still depends on human engineers to generate hypotheses, modify production code, launch A/B experiments, and attribute online results.
