Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional large language models (LLMs) face challenges in performing complex tasks due to unpredictable output, lack of self-awareness, misalignment with diverse human preferences, and inefficiencies in prompt engineering, leading to safety and reliability issues in autonomous agents.

Innovation Solution

Integrating layered memory structures with adaptive machine learning processes and observer agents to dynamically configure agents, using micro-prompts and Bayesian inferencing for efficient, user-specific role definition and control, while ensuring secure and reliable output.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional large language models are used for autonomous agents, then basic language processing is achieved, but output unpredictability and reliability issues occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoutput reliabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the autonomous agent system into distinct functional components: core LLM, memory module, planning module, and execution module. Each component has a specific function, with the memory module storing context and the planning module generating structured plans. This segmentation isolates the unpredictable LLM from direct task execution, improving reliability while maintaining manageable system complexity through modular design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces intermediary components between the LLM and task execution: a memory module that acts as an intermediary to provide consistent context, and a planning module that translates ambiguous LLM output into structured, executable plans. These intermediaries buffer the unpredictability of the LLM, ensuring reliable and consistent agent behavior without requiring fundamental changes to the LLM itself.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If traditional prompt engineering is used, then task instructions are provided, but efficiency and user-specific alignment are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetask execution efficiencyVSAvoiduser preference alignment
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic prompt generation where the system adapts prompts based on user preferences, task context, and learned patterns. The planning module dynamically adjusts the structure and content of prompts based on the specific task and user characteristics, rather than using static, one-size-fits-all prompts. This dynamic adaptation improves both efficiency and user-specific alignment simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs self-service through automated plan generation and optimization. The planning module automatically creates structured plans based on task requirements and user preferences, eliminating the need for manual prompt engineering for each task. The system learns from past interactions and automatically improves its prompting strategies, enhancing both productivity and adaptability without additional human intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Reliability

If autonomous agents operate without structured control, then flexibility is maintained, but safety and alignment with human preferences are compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesafety and alignmentVSAvoidoperational flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by requiring the planning module to generate complete, structured plans before task execution begins. The system performs preliminary validation of the plan structure, ensures alignment with user preferences, and prepares all necessary steps in advance. This preliminary structuring ensures safety and alignment while maintaining operational flexibility during execution, as the agent follows pre-validated plans rather than making ad-hoc decisions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms where the execution module reports back on plan progress and outcomes to the planning module. This feedback loop allows the system to learn from execution results and refine future plan generation. The feedback ensures safety by validating that plans are being followed correctly while maintaining flexibility by allowing the system to adapt plans based on real-world outcomes and new information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

An example may receive at least one input via at least one device. An example may use the at least one input to determine an entity identity. An example may use the entity identity to create an automated agent and load context data associated with the entity identity into at least one layer of a multi-layer memory of the automated agent. An example may cause the automated agent to machine-learn a supervision level via the context data. The machine-learned supervision level may indicate a level of supervision of the automated agent by an entity associated with the entity identity. An example may configure the automated agent to execute a task on behalf of the entity and in accordance with the machine-learned supervision level.
