Reflexion is a research-oriented AI framework that focuses on improving the reasoning and problem-solving capabilities of language model agents through iterative self-reflection and feedback loops. Instead of relying solely on a single-pass response, Reflexion enables agents to evaluate their own outputs, identify errors, and refine their reasoning over multiple iterations, leading to more accurate and reliable results. The framework introduces a mechanism where agents maintain a memory of past attempts and use that memory to guide future decisions, effectively simulating a learning process without requiring traditional model retraining. This approach is particularly useful for complex reasoning tasks, coding challenges, and decision-making scenarios where initial outputs may be incomplete or incorrect. Reflexion also emphasizes transparency by making intermediate reasoning steps explicit, allowing developers to inspect how conclusions are reached and where improvements occur.
