About this paper
Bin Xuan, Ruo Ai, Hakyeon Lee
This study introduces an interactive multi-agent system, built upon large language models (LLMs) and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), for evaluating new product concepts. The system, featuring a cross-functional team of eight fine-tuned agents, demonstrated perfect ranking concordance with human domain experts when assessing professional display monitor concepts.
Key insights
- Multi-agent deliberation significantly impacts final ratings, with agents revising initial assessments based on evidence or counterarguments during discussions, improving evaluation quality.
- Fine-tuning agents with domain-specific data from professional product reviews substantially enhances the system's discriminatory capability and context-sensitive evaluation across both technical and market dimensions.
- Effective prompt engineering is critical; overly long prompts can lead to positional attention bias, and explicit instructions for timeframes and mandatory tool usage are necessary to ensure agents utilize current external data over pre-existing knowledge.
