SocioGenesis: Long-Horizon Organization Simulation for LLM Agents
SocioGenesis is a long-horizon LLM-agent organization testbed that studies how agent companies form persistent organizational capabilities under realistic constraints such as roles, skills, deadlines, meetings, tool access, fatigue, and budget.
Core Ideas:
- Professional profile graphs as structured decision priors over role, skill, memory, and decision preferences โ moving beyond persona-style prompting toward graph-grounded organizational heterogeneity.
- OrgEnv, a startup-style product-development environment with repositories, documents, workspaces, customer events, and community-profile evaluators for multi-day product-development outcomes.
- A bio-inspired cognitive loop (perception โ memory โ planning โ action โ reflection) running under explicit time, fatigue, and token-economy constraints.
My Role:
- Lead problem formulation, benchmark design, and profile-graph construction
- Design ablations and product-market evaluation comparing homogeneous agents, role-only agents, aligned professional-profile agents, shuffled-profile controls, and institution-formation pipelines
Building organizations that grow โ not just agents that chat. ๐ค๐
