Application of LLM Agents in Software Engineering
In the field of software engineering, a core challenge has always been how to enable artificial intelligence to truly participate in real-world development and maintenance. With the advancement of large language models (LLMs), the shift toward Agents has become a key path: empowering models not only to understand code but also to autonomously plan, invoke tools, and complete complex tasks. This talk will introduce typical application scenarios of LLM Agents in software engineering, with a focus on how we leverage them to solve real-world problems in development. We will not only evaluate the capability boundaries of LLMs in software engineering but also envision the future form of AI development assistants. Outline: 1. Introduction: The integration of AI and software engineering 2. Why we need LLM Agents & how they address real development needs 3. Experiments and case studies 4. Future prospects and challenges
