Large Language Models (LLMs) often help users generate artifacts through iterative cycles of generation and revision in conversation. A challenge here is that, when users specify only a local change during revision, LLMs must instead identify the relevant dependencies and propagate the revision to all affected parts of the artifact. This paper studies this ability of LLMs on conversationally generated artifacts, where the artifact context and its dependencies may be embedded in the conversation history. Toward practical use, we also explore cost-effective test-time compute for this new setting. Specifically, we introduce a new benchmark for this setting, and evaluate nine revision methods, including sequential reflection and parallel sampling variants, using gpt-oss-20b/120b, gpt-5.4-mini, and qwen3.5-9b/27b/122b on the benchmark. The results show that baselines achieve accuracies of 68.3–93%, and the most cost-effective method is selecting from three parallel samples using either LLM-based or medoid selection, which improves accuracy by 2.2–9.7%.

This paper proposes AI Tour Meeting, a group travel planning framework powered by multiple Large Language Model (LLM)-based agents. The agents are instantiated with distinct personas and collaboratively seek an itinerary that satisfies their constraints and preferences through natural language discussion.
The framework enables easy and flexible orchestration of such discussions by providing interfaces for configuring agent personas, discussion workflows, monitoring, and LLM deployment. Its primary use case is a simulation tool for analyzing the behavior of multiple LLM agents during tour planning discussions.
This paper demonstrates the utility of the framework by presenting system validation and several analytical results obtained using the framework.
