📄 摘要（原文）
In this study, we introduce the concept of OKR-Agent designed to enhance the capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) in task-solving. Our approach utilizes both self-collaboration and self-correction mechanism, facilitated by hierarchical agents, to address the inherent complexities in task-solving. Our key observations are two-fold: first, effective task-solving demands in-depth domain knowledge and intricate reasoning, for which deploying specialized agents for individual sub-tasks can markedly enhance LLM performance. Second, task-solving intrinsically adheres to a hierarchical execution structure, comprising both high-level strategic planning and detailed task execution. Towards this end, our OKR-Agent paradigm aligns closely with this hierarchical structure, promising enhanced efficacy and adaptability across a range of scenarios. Specifically, our framework includes two novel modules: hierarchical Objects and Key Results generation and multi-level evaluation, each contributing to more efficient and robust task-solving. In practical, hierarchical OKR generation decomposes Objects into multiple sub-Objects and assigns new agents based on key results and agent responsibilities. These agents subsequently elaborate on their designated tasks and may further decompose them as necessary. Such generation operates recursively and hierarchically, culminating in a comprehensive set of detailed solutions. The multi-level evaluation module of OKR-Agent refines solution by leveraging feedback from all associated agents, optimizing each step of the process. This ensures solution is accurate, practical, and effectively address intricate task requirements, enhancing the overall reliability and quality of the outcome. Experimental results also show our method outperforms the previous methods on several tasks. Code and demo are available at https://okr-agent.github.io/
