Agents communicate with each other in full natural language.
Agents are aware of other agents in their local area, and the genera-
tive agent architecture determines whether they walk by or engage
in conversation. Here, a sample in the middle of a conversation
between the agents Isabella Rodriguez and Tom Moreno about the
upcoming election:2

Isabella: I’m still weighing my options, but I’ve been
discussing the election with Sam Moore. What are your
thoughts on him?
Tom: To be honest, I don’t like Sam Moore. I think he’s
out of touch with the community and doesn’t have our
best interests at heart.

Each semicolon-delimited phrase is entered into the agent’s initial
memory as memories at the start of the simulation.

2We note that the conversational style of these agents can fe el overly formal, likely a
result of instruction tuning in the underlying models. We expect that writing style
will be better controllable in future language models.
