APPSim-Bench is a new benchmark for mobile GUI agents that uses controllable simulated apps to balance realism and reproducibility. It includes 557 tasks across 17 popular Chinese and English apps, with a coding-agent-assisted and human-verified workflow that ensures deterministic evaluation. Evaluation of 19 agents shows that autonomous mobile execution is still far from perfect, with the best model completing only 50.27% of tasks and many failures in longer workflows and numerical reasoning.

OpenClaw has emerged as a leading agent framework for complex task automation, yet it faces insufficient cross-platform GUI interaction support and a well-built self-evolution mechanism. These flaws limit its adaptation to diverse device ecosystems and prevent performance improvements through continuous learning from execution experience.
JarvisGUI is a new benchmark that tests GUI agents on cross-device workflows involving Android, Windows, and Ubuntu, requiring transfer of intermediate results and coordination across heterogeneous platforms. It formulates tasks as input-output transformations under a lightweight type system, enabling automatic composition of multi-step, cross-device workflows and dynamic evaluation within a unified framework. The benchmark reveals that state-of-the-art open-source GUI agents struggle with state-transfer awareness, cross-platform contextual reasoning, and long-horizon dependency management, exposing a critical capability gap invisible to existing benchmarks.

ARIA is a multi‑agent large‑language‑model framework that autonomously runs end‑to‑end visual tests on Android infotainment systems. From simple scenario sentences, it executes interactions, generates reproducible scripts, and produces detailed reports with visual evidence. In evaluation on a manufacturer’s device, ARIA achieved a 93.3% completion rate, correctly identified all known defects, and demonstrated lower false‑positive rates compared to a single‑agent baseline.

AI agents are driving a new software paradigm, with the ability to autonomously call tools, extract information, manage memory, and complete tasks that span applications and data sources. Most existing end-user operating systems, however, are designed for application-centric workflows and offer little native support for AI agents.
