The paper introduces Task Advancement Memory (TAM), a framework that tracks verified task progress to improve GUI agent performance. TAM defines a Task Advancement State that captures how progress changes remaining goals, enabling agents to build on earlier achievements across applications. After each task, TAM’s advancement supervision abstracts interactions that yielded verified local results, preserving reusable operations and reducing lifecycle tokens.
arXiv:2607. 25904v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Graphical user interface task evaluation aims to determine whether a GUI agent has successfully completed a user instruction.
LiteGUI is a new framework for training lightweight GUI agents that tackles the long‑horizon, multi‑path nature of GUI interactions. It introduces a two‑stage post‑training pipeline: Guided On‑Policy Distillation, which uses human‑verified multi‑solution action annotations to provide privileged teacher guidance at each state, and Multi‑Solution Dual‑Level GRPO, which combines action‑level supervision with history‑conditioned planning‑quality supervision while handling multiple valid actions. The authors also present a scalable data generation pipeline and the Lite‑Dataset, enabling extensive evaluation across GUI benchmarks and demonstrating substantial performance gains over existing training paradigms.
arXiv:2606. 31410v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Graphical user interface (GUI) agents build on vision-language models to complete user tasks end-to-end in real applications through interface actions such as tapping, swiping, text entry, and navigation.
The paper introduces EvoSkill-GUI, a training‑free framework that enables GUI agents to evolve their skills during deployment. Each skill is packaged with metadata, executable plans, and recovery rules, and the system follows a reflect‑revise‑reuse loop where the agent instantly revises skills based on execution feedback. Experiments on MobileWorld, AndroidWorld, and OSWorld show consistent performance gains up to +16.2% without any additional training.
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.
arXiv:2608. 15930v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Foundation GUI agents can automate complex digital tasks, but deployment is hindered by scarce and biased training data, ambiguous prompts, and unreliable execution.
MAI-Gym is an open, all-in-one platform that unifies GUI agent evaluation, data collection, and online reinforcement learning training across mobile, computer, and web environments. It supports ten established benchmarks, scales to 20,000 parallel environment instances, and enables automated synthesis of diverse GUI applications and tasks with execution-validated verifiers. Using this platform, the authors trained a 9B-parameter agent, MAI-Gym-9B, achieving state‑of‑the‑art performance on MobileWorld and OSWorld-Verified, and demonstrated that training on a mocked train‑ticketing app improves real‑world task success from 28.8% to 48.1% on a physical phone.

Work2Skill is a framework that captures human GUI experience to induce reusable agent skills. It introduces WorkRecorder, an infrastructure that aligns screen recordings, mouse and keyboard events, and accessibility-tree data, and uses it to build WorkDemo-350, the first synchronized multimodal dataset of 350 human desktop GUI demonstrations. The proposed skill‑induction method extracts workflow rules, step dependencies, and completion checks, achieving higher scores and success rates than baseline methods on MyPCBench and OSWorld benchmarks.

arXiv:2607. 15550v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Mobile graphical user interface (GUI) agents have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in automating complex tasks, yet they introduce critical safety risks where a single erroneous action can lead to irreversible consequences.
The paper introduces GUI‑SD‑v2, an on‑policy self‑distillation framework that extends previous methods from GUI grounding to multi‑turn GUI interaction. It employs a two‑stage training process that first improves privilege following by jointly optimizing rollouts with and without privileged guidance, then selectively distills step‑specific reasoning and memory guidance via a privilege‑conditioned self‑teacher. Experiments on AndroidWorld and MobileWorld benchmarks demonstrate that GUI‑SD‑v2 outperforms existing OPSD baselines and state‑of‑the‑art methods in Pass@1 and Pass@3 success rates.
