Some learn from accumulated experience but stay limited to a fixed, hand-defined set of tools and expert agents. Others build new tools or agents, but they do so without lessons from earlier runs, so successes are hard to repeat and… 4. **[Self-Evolving Multi-Agent Systems via Textual Backpropagation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/ma-2026-self-evolving-multi-agent-systems/)** *(2026 · 3 citations)* Building multi-agent LLM systems usually means hand-crafting prompts, roles and topologies by trial and error. ## All works 7 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first;
