arXiv:2607. 11487v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Personal AI assistants on mobile and wearable devices continuously perceive users' daily lives through visual and audio streams.

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.
arXiv:2608. 13606v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The next generation of AI agents is increasingly moving beyond systems that answer isolated questions toward persistent personal assistants that can understand, remember, and continuously learn from users' experiences.

arXiv:2607. 09759v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Building assistants that can continually watch the world, remember what they see, and reason over their accumulated experience is a long-standing goal, and recently multimodal agents equipped with long-term memory over video streams have attracted increasing interest.
arXiv:2607. 29440v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-term multimodal memory must support not only retrieving relevant information but also computing over observations accumulated across interactions.
BuddyVQA is a new benchmark for companion‑style question answering on egocentric streaming video, comprising 21.6K questions tied to 6K highlight moments across 1,012 long first‑person videos. It emphasizes two often overlooked aspects of daily first‑person QA: ego‑deictic expressions and interactively chained questions, requiring models to resolve visual pronouns and infer user intent within a long‑form streaming context. The authors propose MyBuddy, a multimodal chain‑of‑thought QA assistant that uses a question filter and multi‑level memory to efficiently retrieve visual and QA information, achieving significant performance gains on BuddyVQA and generalizing to other streaming and common video QA benchmarks.
ICM-Bench is a new benchmark for evaluating identity-centric reasoning in multimodal agents with long-term memory. It consists of 839 synthetic video clips totaling 141 minutes and 1,217 open-ended questions about six recurring adults in a one-year life album. The benchmark isolates the ability to maintain recurring person identities and reason over their cross-time relations, and compares various baseline systems, showing that while Gemini 3.1 Pro performs well overall, its accuracy drops on questions requiring long-term identity profiles.

Large language model agents are increasingly deployed in human-human interaction settings, such as meeting assistants and clinical documentation systems, where they must observe conversations and retain information for downstream queries. Unlike traditional human-assistant settings, these environments are inherently multimodal, involve complex discourse phenomena such as anaphora and deixis, and contain asynchronous or conflicting information from multiple participants.
arXiv:2607. 02689v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As wearable devices enable continuous first-person recording, AI assistants must reason across long time horizons to recall past experiences-a capability known as episodic memory.
arXiv:2608. 02392v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: A wearable assistant should both answer questions about its visual history and recognize when that history is useful to the present situation.
