• Abstract: We present SheetMind, a modular multi-agent framework powered by large language models (LLMs) for spreadsheet automation via natural language instructions. The system comprises three specialized agents: a Manager Agent that decomposes complex user instructions into subtasks; an Action Agent that translates these into structured commands using a Backus Naur Form (BNF) grammar; and a Reflection Agent that validates alignment between generated actions and the user's original intent. Integrated into Google Sheets via a Workspace extension, SheetMind supports real-time interaction without requiring scripting or formula knowledge. Experiments on benchmark datasets demonstrate an 80 percent success rate on single step tasks and approximately 70 percent on multi step instructions, outperforming ablated and baseline variants. Our results highlight the effectiveness of multi agent decomposition and grammar based execution for bridging natural language and spreadsheet functionalities.

  We extend the capabilities of HELPER by expanding its memory with a wider array of examples and prompts. This simple expansion of HELPER into a shared memory enables the agent to work across domains executing plans from dialogue, natural language instruction, active question asking, and common room reorganization. We evaluate the agent on four diverse interactive visual-language embodied agent: AChRED, TEA, DialFRED, and the Tidy Task.

  This work proposes to use Python code to consolidate Large Language Model (LLM) agents' actions into a unified action space (CodeAct) integrated with a Python interpreter, CodeAct can execute code actions and dynamically revise prior actions or emit new actions upon new observations through multi-turn interactions. The encouraging performance of CodeAct motivates us to build an open-source LLM agent that interacts with environments by executing interpretable code and collaborates with users using natural language.
