Can we trust LLMs to manage our time? ⏰

Our recent work (accepted by #ACL2026 main conf🎉) gives the answer!

Our CalendarConflictBench shows that even strong models make up to 35% errors when resolving calendar conflicts on users’ behalf.🥲But no worries! Meet PEARL: We design a RL recipe to train a self-evolving agent that learn and adapt to user preferences over long-horizon for preference-driven decision-making, reducing errors by 55%🚀
