Five specialized agents coordinate to automatically optimize recommendation system configurations across pipeline stages using LLM reasoning.
- — Actor Agent generates configuration candidates; Critic Agent filters suboptimal proposals.
- — Online Agent runs A/B tests autonomously and captures experimental results.
- — Insight and Skill Agents extract mechanics from history and update decision rules.
- — Addresses multi-stage pipeline complexity: pre-ranking, ranking, re-ranking phases.
- — Balances competing online metrics while aligning with production objectives.
- — Reduces manual tuning effort when models change or new stages deploy.
- — Leverages Gemini LLM for reasoning across distinct optimization contexts.

- Knowledge Capture Document your recommendation pipeline stages, configuration parameters, and metric definitions. This becomes the context for agent reasoning.
- Focus Brief Create a weekly summary of configuration changes, A/B test results, and metric movements. Feed this to agents as historical context for skill extraction.
- Daily Log Track which configurations were tested, why they were proposed, and what metrics changed. This log trains the Insight Agent to recognize patterns.
Frequently asked
- Traditional tuning optimizes a single model's parameters. AgenticRecTune optimizes system-level configurations that integrate outputs from multiple models across pipeline stages (pre-ranking, ranking, re-ranking). It uses five specialized agents to propose, filter, test, and learn from configurations autonomously, reducing manual effort and handling competing metrics across stages.
