Trajectory-Informed Memory Generation for Self-Improving Agent Systems

LLM-powered agents face a persistent challenge: learning from their execution experiences to improve future performance. While agents can successfully complete many tasks, they often repeat inefficient patterns, fail to recover from similar errors, and miss opportunities to apply successful strategies from past executions. We present a novel framework for automatically extracting actionable learnings from agent execution trajectories and utilizing them to improve future performance through contextual memory retrieval. Our approach comprises four components: (1) a Trajectory Intelligence Extractor that performs semantic analysis of agent reasoning patterns, (2) a Decision Attribution Analyzer that identifies which decisions and reasoning steps led to failures, recoveries, or inefficiencies, (3) a Contextual Learning Generator that produces three types of guidance -- strategy tips from successful patterns, recovery tips from failure handling, and optimization tips from inefficient but successful executions, and (4) an Adaptive Memory Retrieval System that injects relevant learnings into agent prompts based on multi-dimensional similarity. Unlike existing memory systems that store generic conversational facts, our framework understands execution patterns, extracts structured learnings with provenance, and retrieves guidance tailored to specific task contexts. Evaluation on the AppWorld benchmark demonstrates consistent improvements, with up to 14.3 percentage point gains in scenario goal completion on held-out tasks and particularly strong benefits on complex tasks (28.5~pp scenario goal improvement, a 149\% relative increase).

FLOW-BENCH: Towards Conversational Generation of Enterprise Workflows

Business process automation (BPA) that leverages Large Language Models (LLMs) to convert natural language (NL) instructions into structured business process artifacts is becoming a hot research topic. This paper makes two technical contributions -- (i) FLOW-BENCH, a high quality dataset of paired natural language instructions and structured business process definitions to evaluate NL-based BPA tools, and support bourgeoning research in this area, and (ii) FLOW-GEN, our approach to utilize LLMs to translate natural language into an intermediate representation with Python syntax that facilitates final conversion into widely adopted business process definition languages, such as BPMN and DMN. We bootstrap FLOW-BENCH by demonstrating how it can be used to evaluate the components of FLOW-GEN across eight LLMs of varying sizes. We hope that FLOW-GEN and FLOW-BENCH catalyze further research in BPA making it more accessible to novice and expert users.
