New LLM agent framework simulates end-to-end retail dynamics

Researchers have developed RetailSim, a novel end-to-end simulation framework designed to model complex retail dynamics. This system aims to evaluate retail strategies by simulating the entire process from seller persuasion to buyer interaction and purchase decisions. RetailSim has been validated against real-world economic patterns and human behavioral fidelity, demonstrating its capability to reproduce demographic purchasing behavior, price-demand relationships, and heterogeneous price elasticity. The framework is intended as a controlled testbed for exploring various retail strategies, including persona inference, interaction analysis, and sales strategy evaluation. AI

IMPACT Enables controlled testing and optimization of retail strategies through realistic simulation of buyer-seller interactions.

    What Makes a Sale? Simulating End-to-End Seller--Buyer Retail Dynamics with LLM Agents

    arXiv:2604.04468v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Evaluating retail strategies before deployment is difficult, as outcomes are determined across multiple stages, from seller-side persuasion through buyer-seller interaction to purchase decisions. However, existing retail simulat…
