PalmClaw: A Native On-Device Agent Framework for Mobile Phones

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.

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.

APPSim-Bench: Bridging Real-world Apps and Reproducible Evaluation for Mobile GUI Agents

APPSim-Bench is a new benchmark for mobile GUI agents that uses controllable simulated apps to balance realism and reproducibility. It includes 557 tasks across 17 popular Chinese and English apps, with a coding-agent-assisted and human-verified workflow that ensures deterministic evaluation. Evaluation of 19 agents shows that autonomous mobile execution is still far from perfect, with the best model completing only 50.27% of tasks and many failures in longer workflows and numerical reasoning.

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.

Improving Proficiency and Efficiency of Android GUI Agents via Self-Generating Tool Actions

The paper introduces DroidTool, a framework that enables Android GUI agents to automatically generate and integrate tool actions—Python functions that manipulate application states—into their hybrid action space. DroidTool follows an agentic workflow with stages of proposal, implementation, test generation, execution, and repair, and it constructs relational tests to ensure comprehensive verification. Experiments on benchmarks such as AndroidWorld, B-MoCA, and MobileSafetyBench show that agents using DroidTool’s self-generated tools outperform GUI-only agents by about 4.47% in performance while reducing interactions by roughly 20.05%.
