The EO uses a Contextual Bandit, a PID controller, and a POMDP belief tracker to govern joint trajectories, with CB variant selection accounting for 97% of between-factor outcome variance. The authors caution that findings are conditional on LLM-to-LLM simulation and that the PID controller has not been calibrated against real human unpredictability.", "body_md": "arXiv:2608.11207v1 Announce Type: new\nAbstract: When two LLM agents with structurally opposed objectives interact across multiple turns, the absence of a shared goal function produces not competition but collapse: the visitor capitulates, the site agent stops varying its approach, and the conversation terminates without achieving either agent's stated objective. This paper asks whether a control-theoretic governance layer can substitute for that missing goal function. The Experience Orchestrator (EO) addresses this in a simulated financial services environment where a site agent guides a visitor toward advisor contact while the visitor maintains psychologically realistic resistance. EO governs the joint trajectory through three mechanisms: a Contextual Bandit (CB) that selects content arms calibrated from real-world web analytics, a PID controller that enforces behavioral consistency via dynamic schema constraints, and a POMDP belief tracker that maintains a probabilistic model of visitor intent. Across 60,000 simulations, EO achieves a +32 percentage point lift in high-intent advisor contact rate (78.1% vs. 46.1% over a naive LLM control), with CB variant selection accounting for 97% of between-factor outcome variance -- confirming that the governance policy, not environmental initial conditions, determines where trajectories end up. Persona-level analysis reveals two distinct regimes: for visitors with no natural inclination toward conversion, the governance layer is the difference between a functional system and a non-functional one; for visitors already near alignment, a naive LLM's empathetic defaults are largely sufficient. All findings are conditional on LLM-to-LLM simulation. The PID controller has not been calibrated against real human unpredictability, and validating EO on live traffic is the critical next step.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/dynamic-governance-of-multi-llm-agent-systems-for-collaborative-conversational", "canonical_source": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2608.11207", "published_at": "2026-08-13 04:00:00+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-08-13 04:18:36.511316+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "large-language-models", "ai-agents", "ai-research"], "entities": ["arXiv", "Experience Orchestrator", "Contextual Bandit", "PID controller", "POMDP"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/dynamic-governance-of-multi-llm-agent-systems-for-collaborative-conversational", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/dynamic-governance-of-multi-llm-agent-systems-for-collaborative-conversational.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/dynamic-governance-of-multi-llm-agent-systems-for-collaborative-conversational.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/dynamic-governance-of-multi-llm-agent-systems-for-collaborative-conversational.jsonld"}}
