$How^2$ agent framework enables lifelong learning via procedural questions

Researchers have developed a new memory agent framework called $How^{2}$ that allows AI agents to learn from procedural how-to questions. This framework enables agents to ask questions, store the answers, and reuse them for lifelong learning in interactive environments. Evaluations in a Minecraft crafting environment demonstrated that agents benefit most from abstracted answers, improving their planning capabilities over time. AI

IMPACT Introduces a novel method for LLM-based agents to enhance planning and lifelong learning through question-asking.

    $How^{2}$: How to learn from procedural How-to questions

    arXiv:2510.11144v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: An agent facing a planning problem can use answers to how-to questions to reduce uncertainty and fill knowledge gaps, helping it solve both current and future tasks. However, their open ended nature, where valid answers to…
