The research on autonomous agents has been a long-standing focus in both academia and industry, with the ultimate goal of achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI).

Traditional approaches to developing autonomous agents often involve training them with limited knowledge within isolated environments, which differs significantly from how humans learn and makes it challenging for these agents to make human-like decisions.

However, the recent advent of large language models (LLMs) has shown promising results in attaining human-level intelligence, sparking a surge of interest in LLM-based autonomous agents.

In this April 2024 paper, the authors present a comprehensive survey of studies on LLM-based autonomous agents, providing a systematic review from a holistic perspective.

The authors propose a unified framework that encompasses most of the previous work on designing agent architectures to better leverage LLMs.

Personalised Mental Health Companion

Leveraging the profiling and memory modules, an LM-based autonomous agent could be designed to serve as a personalised mental health companion.

The agent would gather information about the user's demographic background, personality traits, and mental health history to create a unique profile.

As the user interacts with the agent over time, it would store their conversations, emotions, and coping strategies in its memory module.

The planning module would enable the agent to provide tailored support and guidance based on the user's specific needs and past experiences.

The action module would focus on engaging in empathetic communication and offering evidence-based strategies for managing stress, anxiety, and other mental health challenges.

This application combines elements from psychology, social science, and natural language processing to create an accessible and adaptive mental health support system.

Collaborative Scientific Research Platform

Drawing inspiration from the natural science applications discussed in the paper, a collaborative scientific research platform could be developed using LM-based autonomous agents.

The platform would consist of multiple agents with specialised capabilities, such as literature review, hypothesis generation, experiment design, data analysis, and scientific writing.

Researchers would interact with the platform using natural language, describing their research questions and objectives.

The agents would then work together, leveraging their individual strengths and the collective knowledge stored in their memory modules.

The planning module would enable the agents to break down complex research tasks into manageable steps and adapt their strategies based on feedback from the researchers and the results of experiments.

The action module would focus on generating human-readable outputs, such as literature summaries, experiment protocols, data visualisations, and draft manuscripts.

This application combines elements from documentation and data management, experiment assistance, and natural science education to create a powerful tool for accelerating scientific discovery.

Intelligent Urban Planning Assistant

Combining ideas from civil engineering and social simulation, an intelligent urban planning assistant could be developed using LLM-based autonomous agents.

The agent would be trained on a diverse dataset of urban planning projects, including information about demographics, infrastructure, transportation, and sustainability.

The profiling module would enable the agent to understand the unique characteristics and challenges of a given city or neighbourhood.

The memory module would store relevant case studies, best practices, and stakeholder feedback.

The planning module would generate multiple scenarios and evaluate their potential impacts using simulations that model complex social and economic dynamics.

The action module would focus on presenting clear, actionable recommendations to urban planners and policymakers, along with visualizations and interactive tools for exploring different options.

This application combines elements from civil engineering, social simulation, and data visualization to create a data-driven and stakeholder-centric approach to urban planning.

These three applications demonstrate how the ideas presented in the paper can be creatively combined and adapted to solve complex problems in mental health, scientific research, and urban planning.

By leveraging the strengths of LLM-based autonomous agents and drawing upon insights from multiple domains, these applications have the potential to create significant value and drive innovation in their respective fields.
