Reflection with Action-Induced Visual Differences for Desktop GUI Agents

The paper introduces Evidence-First Reflection (EFR), a two-stage reflector for desktop GUI agents that separates visual difference extraction from outcome verification. EFR uses Set-of-Marks annotations to locate action sites and candidate changed regions, filters action-relevant changes, and then makes a final judgment based on cleaned evidence. Experiments on OSWorld-Verified and WindowsAgentArena show that EFR improves reflector accuracy by 7.11% and increases end-to-end task success by roughly 5–6%.

Do GUI Agents Know When Not to Act? Enabling Conflict-Aware Termination for Multimodal GUI Agents

The paper introduces CONFLICTGUI, a benchmark that tests GUI agents on instruction-internal and instruction‑GUI context conflicts, revealing that many agents over‑comply with infeasible instructions. To address this, the authors propose CONFLICTGUARD, an inference‑time framework that couples a feasibility verification protocol with a conditional action modulation mechanism, enabling agents to assess instruction logic and GUI evidence before acting. Experiments on five agents show that CONFLICTGUARD significantly improves conflict‑task success while maintaining normal task performance.

VLAA-GUI: Knowing When to Stop, Recover, and Search, A Modular Framework for GUI Automation

VLAA-GUI is a modular framework for autonomous GUI agents that addresses early stopping and repetitive loops by integrating three core components: a Completeness Verifier, a Loop Breaker, and an on-demand Search Agent. The framework also includes optional Coding and Grounding Agents for specialized tasks. Evaluations on five backbones across Linux and Windows benchmarks show strong performance, with some models surpassing human results and the Loop Breaker significantly reducing wasted steps.
