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 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.

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.
