In this work we focus on the problem of embodied task planning, which requires an agent to accomplish a complex task by separating it into atomic actions. Recent studies have developed LLM-based methods to address this problem. However, the executability and correctness of the generated plans remain suboptimal in complex environments and tasks. On the other hand, classical search algorithms have the potential to solve the planning problems perfectly, yet they require fully observable environments, known state transitions and goal state, which are often unattainable in general task domains. Therefore, we propose to implement an LLM-guided search algorithm that makes the search process possible and efficient by incorporating LLMs’ commonsense knowledge. Our method leverages LLMs to (1) translate natural language instructions into formatted goal conditions, (2) facilitate efficient exploration in partially observable environments, (3) implement a rule-based world simulator, and (4) prune the space of candidate actions to improve search efficiency. Experimental results on VirtualHome and ALFWorld demonstrate the superior performance of our agent.

In the quest for scientific progress, communicating research is as vital as the discovery itself. Yet, researchers are often sidetracked by the manual, repetitive chore of building project webpages to make their dense papers accessible. While automation has tackled static slides and posters, the dynamic, interactive nature of webpages has remained an unaddressed challenge. To bridge this gap, we reframe the problem, arguing that the solution lies not in a single command, but in a collaborative, hierarchical process. We introduce AutoPage, a novel multi-agent system that embodies this philosophy. AutoPage deconstructs paper-to-page creation into a coarse-to-fine pipeline from narrative planning to multimodal content generation and interactive rendering. To combat AI hallucination, dedicated “Checker” agents verify each step against the source paper, while optional human checkpoints ensure the final product aligns perfectly with the author’s vision, transforming the system from a mere tool into a powerful collaborative assistant. To rigorously validate our approach, we also construct PageBench, the first benchmark for this new task. Experiments show AutoPage not only generates high-quality, visually appealing pages but does so with remarkable efficiency in under 15 minutes for less than $0.1. Code and data will be released.
