CUA-Universe: A Scalable and Dynamic Environment for Hybrid GUI+CLI Agents

CUA-Universe is a scalable environment-to-data pipeline that transforms real desktop software into hybrid GUI+CLI environments, enabling agents to coordinate visual inspection with command-line operations. It includes App-Forge for reproducible VMs and CLI surfaces, Task-Weave for generating diverse hybrid tasks, and Path-Steer for efficient rollouts and trajectory harvesting. Training on this data improves agent success and efficiency across multiple benchmarks, demonstrating the value of hybrid interaction.

GUI vs. CLI: Execution Bottlenecks in Screen-Only and Skill-Mediated Computer-Use Agents

arXiv:2606. 24551v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Computer-use agents can execute software tasks through either graphical interfaces or programmatic command interfaces, but existing evaluations confound interaction modality with differences in tasks, initial states, verifiers, and permitted actions.

JarvisGUI: Towards Cross-Device GUI Agents with Dynamic Task Composition

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.

Agent-Environment Alignment via Automated Interface Generation

The paper introduces ALIGN, a lightweight framework that automatically generates enriched interfaces to reduce agent‑environment misalignment in large language model agents. By augmenting static environment information and step‑wise observations, ALIGN improves performance across diverse tasks such as embodied navigation, web browsing, and tool use, achieving up to a 45.67% success rate increase in ALFWorld. The method works without altering agent logic or environment code and generalizes across different agent architectures and LLM backbones.

OS-Helix: Unifying GUI Interaction and Code Execution in Native Computer-Using Agents

OS-Helix is an end‑to‑end multimodal agent that unifies graphical user interface (GUI) actions and code execution into a single action space. It is trained on high‑quality hybrid data generated through application‑artifact composition and a decoupled instruction/evaluator pipeline, and further refined with online reinforcement learning using a step‑balanced GSPO algorithm. The resulting models achieve significant performance gains over hybrid baselines on the OSWorld‑Verified benchmark and demonstrate cross‑platform transfer to WindowsAgentArena.

KnowAct-GUIClaw: Know Deeply, Act Perfectly, Personal GUI Assistant with Self-Evolving Memory and Skill

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.
