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.

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.
arXiv:2608. 02352v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Native computer use offers a general interface for agents to operate almost any software available to people, but requires long-horizon state tracking, large-scale interactive experience, and learning from sparse yet verifiable outcomes.

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.

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.

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.
