arXiv:2610.21938v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: An agent that learns a user's preferences from their choices faces a cold start problem: before any choices are observed, it must rely solely on a prior. Informative priors are usually fitted to historical choice data, which new tasks and deployments lack. To address this, we present Agentic-Priors, which lets agentic systems use the implicit knowledge of large language models (LLMs) instead. Specifically, an LLM states a new user's trade-offs in interpretable terms, such as willingness to pay or value of time, which we map to a prior over mult
