LifePlanner: Evaluating LLM Agents for Geo-spatial Planning with Social Media Data

arXiv:2608.25039v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Geo-spatial planning, like trip design, is a realistic testbed for LLM agents because it requires grounded tool use, noisy evidence retrieval, and multi-constraint reasoning. Most benchmarks, however, only provide clean geospatial data and tools, missing the open-ended social signals that people use in daily planning. We introduce LifePlanner, a benchmark that enriches map data with large-scale local social media posts and provides access through an MCP toolset. LifePlanner provides an evaluation suite spanning four task categories and three difficulty levels. Experiments show frontier LLMs perform well on simple retrieval but degrade sharply on complex planning, with the Pass Rate dropping to 40.2%. Results show that failures mainly stem from incomplete evidence acquisition from such a large multimodal database, imprecise tool use, and weak constraint integration rather than model size or reasoning length, suggesting that future progress requires effective grounded planning instead of scaling alone.
