SAGE: Safe, Adaptive Generation Engine for Long Form Document Generation in Collaborative, High Stakes Domains
Abrar Rahman, Anish Sundar
Long-form document generation for high-stakes financial services—such as deal memos, IPO prospectuses, and compliance filings—requires synthesizing data-driven accuracy, strategic narrative, and collaborative feedback from diverse stakeholders. While large language models (LLMs) excel at short-form content, generating coherent long-form documents with multiple stakeholders remains a critical challenge, particularly in regulated industries due to their lack of interpretability.
We present SAGE (Secure Agentic Generative Editor), a framework for drafting, iterating, and achieving multi-party consensus for long-form documents. SAGE introduces three key innovations: (1) a tree-structured document representation with multi-agent control flow, (2) sparse autoencoder-based explainable feedback to maintain cross-document consistency, and (3) a version control mechanism that tracks document evolution and stakeholder contributions.

This is exciting, if incomplete work. I agree with Esben in regards to specific methodologies that could unlock further evidence for the success rate of this node-based model. Come back to us when you have revenue :)

My impression is that you implemented SAE features in your long-context document editing tool and I think this seems pretty awesome. When it comes to your node-based document iteration engine and its evaluation suite, this also seems very valuable and is probably more relevant when it comes to safety than the features used for content development.
You link to the blog posts and I agree that the verification of content in financial documents is very important, though I’ll mention that your submission probably doesn’t score maximum on methodology due to the lack of experiments to validate your method. The safety arguments also aren’t super strong and the submitted project is somewhat adjacent to the topic of the hackathon, though your product seems relevant to ensure accuracy in financial documents.
In terms of directing your work towards safety, I suggest you take existing documents and discover errors using various feature-supported evaluators to improve the project (e.g. going for some of the public pitch decks might be a good example). If you can prove that, it’s simply rock’n’roll and I can see some use cases beyond finance as well (though it’s a great place to start a company).

Not related to AI Safety. I do not understand if this is mostly to promote the Benki finance company

Feels off topic, potentially trying to advertise for a company called Benki

This is a really well-presented work that presents a framework/tooling to improve long-form document generation. In future, it would be interesting to see a benchmark on document quality whether steering the LLM towards a specific thing (e.g. to be more technical) deteriorates quality in other ways.
