MiniCorp: The Last Mile of the AI Agent Firm
MiniCorp is a simulator for generating the kind of longitudinal and counterfactual company data that real enterprise archives usually cannot provide.
The paper models an e-commerce firm with internal agents making decisions while customers, competitors, and market mechanisms respond. It records agent discussions, decisions, available information, and later business results. Checkpointing lets researchers replay the same situation under different choices. The authors say experiments show agents coordinating across roles and adjusting to market feedback, including sustained ad exploration when given long-term strategic guidance. HF Daily Papers' note
