Autonomous Agents Papers Guide

Overview

A daily-updated collection of research papers on autonomous AI agents — systems that use LLMs for planning, reasoning, tool use, and multi-step task execution. Covers the full agent stack from foundational prompting techniques (ReAct, Chain-of-Thought) to multi-agent systems, memory architectures, and real-world deployments. Organized chronologically with category tags for easy navigation.
