Vinci2: Providing Proactive Assistance in Continuous Egocentric Videos
arXiv:2607. 11523v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: When should an intelligent assistant speak up without being asked?
ProMemAgent is a proactive agent that uses prospective memory to handle delayed user intentions over long horizons. It organizes past sensory perceptions into context-aware memory, generates prospective cues, and links earlier events to future developments for retrieval. The authors also introduce CPMBench, a benchmark of 1,000 instances across eight everyday categories, and show that ProMemAgent outperforms baselines in memory retrieval and proactive assistance tasks.

When should an intelligent assistant speak up without being asked? Continuous egocentric video offers rich, evolving context that enables a new form of assistance: one that is proactive rather than merely reactive.

The paper introduces ProPerMem, a benchmark for memory-driven proactive assistance that pairs egocentric video with long, distractor-rich personal memories and human-verified trigger windows. Baseline models perform poorly, achieving at most 15% accuracy, while an oracle-driven GPT-5.3-Chat model reaches 96% when given evidence inside the trigger window. Building on these insights, the authors develop ProPerAgent, a plug‑and‑play system that retrieves relevant memory from a graph store and uses lightweight reinforcement learning to improve proactive intervention accuracy to 42.4% without training.

As assistants move from reactive answering toward proactive intervention, memory changes role: it no longer only supplies the answer to a query, it determines whether and when to speak at all. Prior w...
ProactEgoMem is a benchmark for evaluating proactive memory in streaming egocentric video, focusing on three tasks—Information Capture, State Tracking, and Location Tracking—to reflect real-world environmental needs. It introduces two levels of proactiveness: Notification Level, which requires a single timely alert, and Intervention Level, which demands continuous memory maintenance via an active tool lifecycle. The benchmark includes daily and scientific datasets with corresponding QA sets, and shows that current models struggle to capture memory both timely and accurately.
EgoMemReason is a new benchmark for week‑long egocentric video understanding that focuses on memory‑driven reasoning rather than simple perception tasks. It tests three memory types—entity, event, and behavior—across 500 questions, each requiring evidence from an average of 5.1 video segments and 25.9 hours of backtracking. Evaluation of 17 models shows that even the best achieves only 39.6% accuracy, highlighting the difficulty of long‑horizon memory in multimodal systems.
