Quick summary
arXiv:2609.29309v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In open-ended problem solving, collaborators often rely on discussion to surface concerns, challenge perspectives, and refine shared work as it evolves. While AI agents are increasingly used as discussion partners, existing multi-agent systems place a heavy burden on users to initiate and carefully orchestrate the discussions.
