Large language model (LLM) agents are increasingly expected to assist users in completing tasks. However, existing benchmarks provide limited support for evaluating whether agents can carry out office-suite workflows at a reasonable cost.

StartupBench is a benchmark that evaluates general‑purpose agents on end‑to‑end workflows derived from real AI startup products that have proven market adoption. It translates these product workflows into deliverable‑oriented tasks and assesses them with detailed rubrics that capture complex requirements. Even the best current models complete only about 30% of the tasks, highlighting failures in instruction following and domain expertise.
