Douyin deploys agentic push system to boost user engagement

Researchers have developed STEPS, a novel Self-Triggered End-to-end Agentic Push Recommendation System, which has been fully deployed on Douyin, a platform with over 1 billion users. This system addresses limitations in traditional push notification strategies by reformulating the problem as a self-triggered agentic process. STEPS utilizes two decision transformer-based agents to dynamically decide when to send notifications and when to schedule its next invocation, aiming to balance real-time effectiveness with efficiency. Online A/B testing showed that STEPS increased user active days by 0.2843% and reduced the push permission disablement rate by 1.9089%, while a filtering agent cut computational overhead by 79.42%.

IMPACT This agentic system could influence how large platforms optimize user re-engagement and manage notification systems.

    A Self-Triggered Agentic Push Recommendation System

    Push notification is a critical recommendation scenario on large-scale platforms, allowing the system to proactively reach users outside the application to improve long-term re-engagement. However, designing an optimal push system requires handling a complex action space for the …
