This article presents "Dr. AGENTONOMICS," an educational prototype where AI agents function as economic entities within a self-referential teaching loop, effectively acting as both the subject of study and the instructional medium for business administration students. The architecture demonstrates how a single intelligence layer can orchestrate multiple cumulative roles—from tutor to design consultant—offering insights into managing autonomous systems that govern their own operational frameworks.
Dr. AGENTONOMICS: A Didactic Experiment of AGENTONOMICS
arXiv:2608.03524v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AGENTONOMICS is a framework that treats AI agents as economic entities that can be designed, managed, and governed through an integrated management architecture. Dr. AGENTONOMICS is its first application: a lecture agent developed in the context of the TUM course on AI agents in business administration. Conceived during the winter semester 2025/26 and first introduced to students in the summer semester 2026, it serves as a didactic experiment in which the agent is both the object that students study and the medium through which they learn and apply the framework. The current prototype is a web-based, retrieval-grounded tutor that explains AGENTONOMICS concepts and supports student questions. This report argues that the same system can grow beyond tutoring into three additional cumulative roles: an avatar lecturer that delivers multimodal instruction, a design consultant that guides students through the AGENTONOMICS Design & Management Reference Framework (ADMRF), and a meta-agent that helps construct the agents students have specified. These roles are cumulative because they share the same interface, intelligence layer, tools, knowledge base, and ecosystem connection, while an orchestrator selects the role-specific algorithm required for each task. We present the architecture of the prototype, outline its development roadmap, and discuss its implications for a polycentric AI economy. This report is intended to invite further discussion on how agents can teach, apply, and eventually reproduce the frameworks by which they are designed.
