Generative Agents: Interactive Simulacra of Human Behavior

I would say that if you have to direct the steps of the agent's thought process:

-Generate tests

-Run tests (performed automatically)

-Gather results (performed automatically)

-Evaluate results, branch to either accept or refine

-Generate refinements

etc., then that's hand-holding. It's task specific reasoning that the agent can't perform on its own. It presents a big obstacle to extending the agent to more complex domains, because you'd have to hand-implement a new guided thought process for each new domain, and as the domains become more complex, so do the necessary thought processes.

The pipeline doesn't really have to be task/domain specific.

You can call it handholding. Or call it having control over the direction of 'thought' of the LLM. you can train another LLM that creates handholding pipeline steps. Then LLM squared can be tagged new LLM.
