Omni-Life: Benchmarking Omnimodal Real-Time AI Assistants in People's Daily Lives

Read the original on arXiv Computation and Language →

Omni-Life is a new benchmark for real‑time omnimodal AI assistants, built around real‑world user needs and device‑dependent observations. It includes 400 videos—290 that require assistance with 555 intervention events, and 110 that should trigger silence—to test models’ ability to provide timely help and avoid unnecessary responses. Evaluations of twelve mainstream models show that only 4.48% of assistance videos are handled correctly, highlighting significant gaps in current systems.

Omni-InteractScope: Benchmarking Proactive and Agentic Interaction in Continuous Omnimodal Streams

Omni-InteractScope is a new benchmark comprising 1,479 human‑annotated interactions and 1,790 temporal targets across eight task groups, designed to evaluate how well omnimodal large language models (Omni‑LLMs) connect continuous audiovisual streams to user needs and deliver timely, sustained interventions. The benchmark links input modalities, event triggers, intervention types, and user needs, covering event‑timed tool invocation, query‑free assistance, notifications, warnings, state tracking, and continuous responses. Experimental results on this benchmark reveal three critical limitations of current Omni‑LLMs: unreliable timely tool invocation, poor coverage of query‑free reminders, and limited end‑to‑end guidance coverage. whyItMatters":"The benchmark highlights specific performance gaps in Omni‑LLMs that are essential for developing streaming assistants capable of timely action, proactive initiative, and comprehensive response coverage."

From Perception to Prediction and Intervention: Benchmarking Proactive Video Assistants in Real-Life Scenarios

The paper introduces “P…IBench”, a benchmark for proactive video understanding that tests daily perception, risk prediction, and intervention in real‑life streaming scenarios. It evaluates 12 video‑language models, finding that current systems struggle to make well‑calibrated response decisions. The authors also create new proactive training data and train “P…I-Assistant-4B”, which shows uneven improvements across the benchmark’s capabilities.

OmniAssistBench: Assistant-style Interaction Benchmark for Omni-LLMs

OmniAssistBench is a new benchmark for evaluating omni-modal large language models (Omni-LLMs) as real‑time video assistants that actively guide users toward goals. The benchmark addresses the challenge of dynamic interaction paths by providing models with predefined priors from source videos, forcing them to follow the same routes as users. The dataset was constructed by reverse‑engineering existing Internet videos into multi‑turn clips, a process that required over 1,000 expert person‑hours. Results show that proprietary Gemini‑3‑Pro scores 66.4/100 while open‑source Qwen3‑Omni‑Instruct scores 51.2, revealing that current models often give incorrect or incomplete answers, struggle with visual prompts, and fail to maintain context or delay responses until target events.

EgoVoice: Proactive Spoken Assistance from Egocentric Multimodal Streams

EgoVoice is a framework designed to train and evaluate proactive spoken assistants that operate from egocentric multimodal streams. By processing first-person video and audio from HoloAssist recordings, the system creates clean audio streams and frames each moment as a decision to either stay silent or provide spoken guidance. Experiments show that EgoVoice improves intervention timing, content relevance, and human preference compared to existing zero‑shot models.
