Paper summary

AgentA/B is a fully automated A/B testing framework that replaces live human traffic with large-scale LLM-based agents. These agents simulate realistic, intention-driven user behaviors on actual web environments, enabling faster, cheaper, and risk-free UX evaluations — even on real websites like Amazon. Key Insights:

Key points
01

Modular agent simulation pipeline – Four components—agent generation, condition prep, interaction loop, and post-analysis—allow plug-and-play simulations on live webpages using diverse LLM personas.

02

Real-world fidelity – The system parses live DOM into JSON, enabling structured interaction loops (search, filter, click, purchase) executed via LLM reasoning + Selenium.

03

Behavioral realism – Simulated agents show more goal-directed but comparable interaction patterns vs. 1M real Amazon users (e.g., shorter sessions but similar purchase rates).

04

Design sensitivity – A/B test comparing full vs. reduced filter panels revealed that agents in the treatment condition clicked more, used filters more often, and purchased more.

05

Inclusive prototyping – Agents can represent hard-to-reach populations (e.g., low-tech users), making early-stage UX testing more inclusive and risk-free.

06

Notable results AgentA/B shows how LLM agents can augment — not replace — traditional A/B testing by offering a new pre-deployment simulation layer. This can accelerate iteration, reduce development waste, and support UX inclusivity without needing immediate live traffic.
