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.

DeskCraft: Benchmarking Desktop Agents on Professional Workflows and Human-in-the-Loop Collaboration

arXiv:2606. 03103v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Real-world professional desktop workflows in specialized creative and engineering software unfold over long horizons and often require human-in-the-loop coordination, where agents proactively seek necessary information and users provide additional instructions, clarifications, feedback, or corrections as the task progresses.

How can we assess human-agent interactions? Case studies in software agent design

arXiv:2510. 09801v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: While benchmarks measure the accuracy of LLM-powered agents, they mostly assume full automation, failing to represent the collaborative nature of real-world use cases.

The Hard Part Comes After Search: Benchmarking Web Agents on Synthesizing, Organizing, and Displaying Knowledge

The paper introduces KNOWS, a benchmark for evaluating web agents that act as assistants by retrieving, synthesizing, and presenting information across complex, multi-step browser tasks. It outlines a task design rubric, evaluation protocol combining deterministic checks with LLM judgments, and reports that current agents achieve only modest success, with the best performing agent succeeding on less than 3% of tasks. The study highlights significant gaps in agents’ tool use, visual understanding, and long‑horizon reasoning.
