arXiv:2607. 14443v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Computer-use agents are becoming capable software operators, but their interface to desktop applications is still often a brittle motor layer: they look at screenshots, predict coordinates, click, and hope that the visible state changed as intended.
The paper introduces ASIL, an Agent‑Software Interaction Layer that replaces traditional screenshot‑and‑click interfaces with structured JSON observations and code‑executable semantic actions. ASIL is implemented across 15 applications and evaluated on 300 single‑application and 80 multi‑application tasks, achieving over 80% success with fewer than five actions per task. The structured interface also improves training efficiency, boosting performance of Qwen models from 58–66% to 72–80% with small‑scale supervised fine‑tuning and further gains with on‑policy reinforcement learning.

The study evaluates computer-use agents (CUAs) for blind users by conducting a three‑week diary study with eight participants using the OLLA prototype. Across 1,258 commands in 12 desktop applications, GPT‑5 achieved the highest success rate of 52.5%, while analysis uncovered failures in grounding, planning, constraint‑tracking, and termination. Interviews highlighted additional needs beyond automation for blind users.
The paper introduces a safety‑bounded gateway that translates IEEE 11073 Service‑Oriented Device Connectivity (SDC) into the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for medical AI agents. It exposes device metrics, alarms, context references, and semantic metadata as read‑only resources, while representing selected action affordances as policy‑validated dry‑run tools, ensuring that agent requests never trigger actual device operations. A Python prototype demonstrates fault and lifecycle experiments, deterministic baselines, and multi‑model agent evaluation, showing improved semantic conformity and preservation of the no‑execution boundary.

arXiv:2606. 07594v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Personal AI agents must increasingly operate across APIs, shells, web surfaces, and desktop GUIs, yet many systems remain tuned to a single interface and offer limited support for user teaching and auditability.
UI‑Venus‑2 is a general‑purpose foundation GUI agent that operates across mobile, web, and desktop environments using a unified closed‑loop reasoning‑action framework. The report details how the system expands environment coverage to over 170 multilingual mobile apps and native desktop OSes, scales task generation through a deep‑research pipeline, and enhances verification with trace‑level and sample‑level evaluators that use visual keypoints and multi‑model voting. Safety‑aware mechanisms are also incorporated to control consequential actions, positioning UI‑Venus‑2 as an efficient, open‑source tool for more generalizable, verifiable, and self‑reflective agents in real‑world applications.

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.
