Existing prompt optimization methods, however, rely on a single prompt optimized against a global objective, which is misaligned with the inherent user heterogeneity of real workplaces. We formulate enterprise IE as per-user prompt adaptation under interaction feedback and propose Self-Meta-Evolve, a hierarchical framework that maintains a dedicated prompt for each user and continuously refines it through a dual-loop process: an inner loop that edits structured prompts based on persona-conditioned feedback, and an outer loop that evolves the meta-prompt itself by distilling successful editing patterns. To enable scalable training and evaluation, we release a persona-driven IE benchmark of 292 simulated enterprise users, paired with a reproducible persona-generation pipeline grounded in O*NET occupational taxonomies. On this benchmark, Self-Meta-Evolve achieves a 74.58% success rate, outperforming the strongest prompt-optimization baseline by 13.56 absolute points, and reaches 52.54% within only two iterations. A double-blind human study with twenty real professionals further confirms that prompts adapted by our framework win against static baselines in 71% of pairwise comparisons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed for enterprise information extraction (IE), where the same document must be reorganized differently for each user.
