We present LinkedIn's self-evolving agentic support system, which integrates retrieval-augmented generation with evolutionary auto-prompting and a modular, production-aligned evaluation framework to enable safe, continuous improvement without retraining foundation models. The system treats prompts, retrieval, and evaluation as a closed-loop, versioned workflow with operational guardrails. Offline simulations and ablations show clear quality gains over vanilla RAG and baseline agents, including reduced hallucinations and improved response completeness. In a two-week user-randomized A/B test on LinkedIn's production support traffic, the integrated self-evolved workflow increased QA self-serve by 9.0 percentage points, cancellation self-serve by 4.8 points, and routing accuracy by 30.6 points. These results demonstrate a practical path to scalable, self-evolving AI agents in real-world enterprise settings.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/self-evolving-agentic-customer-support-system-at-linkedin", "canonical_source": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2608.10224", "published_at": "2026-08-12 04:00:00+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-08-12 04:18:57.981000+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "machine-learning", "natural-language-processing", "ai-agents", "ai-products"], "entities": ["LinkedIn", "arXiv"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/self-evolving-agentic-customer-support-system-at-linkedin", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/self-evolving-agentic-customer-support-system-at-linkedin.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/self-evolving-agentic-customer-support-system-at-linkedin.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/self-evolving-agentic-customer-support-system-at-linkedin.jsonld"}}
