The paper introduces a hybrid interaction model for mobile GUI agents that combines app-native deeplinks with traditional GUI actions. By statically analyzing apps to discover candidate deeplinks, validating them on real devices, and cataloguing their landing screens, the authors create a verified deeplink catalog. Using this catalog, they develop GUI‑Hopper, which demonstrates improved task success rates in commercial applications through the use of deeplinks for direct navigation and GUI actions for other on‑screen operations.
arXiv:2607. 13027v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Model (LLM) agents have moved beyond generating responses to executing multi-step tasks by calling tools, observing the results, and iteratively deciding the next action.
arXiv:2606. 31410v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Graphical user interface (GUI) agents build on vision-language models to complete user tasks end-to-end in real applications through interface actions such as tapping, swiping, text entry, and navigation.
arXiv:2601. 18305v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Despite numerous Graphical User Interface (GUI) agents claiming to automate user interaction tasks, to date, few achieve satisfactory interaction capability with human users in real-world scenarios.
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.
GUI-CC is a benchmark designed to assess the contextual consistency of GUI world models when used as agent environments, rather than just one‑step next‑screen predictors. It includes two tracks: an offline reference‑action track that rolls models along real mobile GUI trajectories, and an online agent‑loop track where fixed probing agents interact with model‑generated UIs. The benchmark evaluates transition fidelity, plausibility, contextual consistency, and task progress across 500 offline trajectory tasks and 200 online tasks spanning 30 mobile apps.

AgentLens is a mobile GUI agent that adapts its visual communication during task execution, offering Full UI, Partial UI, and GenUI modalities. It uses a Virtual Display to allow background operation while selectively overlaying visual information. In a study with 21 participants, 85.7% preferred AgentLens, which also scored highest on usability and adoption intent.
arXiv:2605. 29486v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: A central bottleneck for phone-use agents is that controllable, reproducible environments covering real mobile behavior are hard to build at scale.
arXiv:2512. 12634v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Mobile GUI Agents, AI agents capable of interacting with mobile applications on behalf of users, have the potential to transform human computer interaction.

arXiv:2606. 06322v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: GUI agents - vision-based models that control desktops, web browsers, and mobile devices through graphical user interfaces - promise to automate a wide range of digital tasks.
arXiv:2607. 28645v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent multimodal large language models can convert visual designs directly into executable code, but real mobile products require multiple screenshots to become a buildable codebase with shared components and working navigation.
