Generative Agents

An agent architecture that combines stored experiences, reflection and retrieval to simulate human behaviour.

Generative Agents store experiences in natural language, derive higher-level reflections, and retrieve relevant memories to plan behaviour. The paper demonstrates the architecture in a simulated town.
