LiveUIBench evaluates Agent-as-App systems as complete workflows

Submitted October 20, LiveUIBench moves generated-app evaluation beyond opening a screen to submission, revision, shared state across applications and return visits.

Why it matters

A generative interface can pass many local checks while leaving the user's goal unfinished. The benchmark requires visible results, service operations, saved state and the intended record to remain correct across one ordered workflow.

A closer look

LiveUIAgent generates an orchestration linking interface elements, action goals and retained information while a shared runtime handles later requests. LiveUIBench assigns 500 tasks and 10,590 assertions across Spotify, Amazon, Gmail, Phone, Venmo, Splitwise, Todoist, Simple Note and File System: 302 single-app, 130 multi-tool and 68 shared-world tasks. The authors report low full-workflow completion for every evaluated model; the best overall FWR is 19.60%, and higher partial assertion coverage does not necessarily mean more completed workflows.

Who this is for

Teams building generative UI, agent-app runtimes, persistent state and end-to-end evaluations

A second, independent VeriCUA turns GUI-task acceptance into active evidence gathering with abstention

A Google and University of Hong Kong team submitted a separate project also named VeriCUA on October 29. It inspects an environment or recording before constructing a task rubric, then gathers missing evidence through GUI, accessibility-tree, file and database reads, marking requirements met, unmet or unknown. In online experiments it reduces false positives against baselines on AndroidWorld, OSWorld and ScienceBoard.

GUI‑JEPA replaces token-by-token action decoding with candidate-conditioned latent scoring

Submitted October 27, GUI‑JEPA targets single-step mobile GUI action selection. It transforms JEPA representations pretrained on unlabeled interface screenshots for each action and region candidate, then scores accessibility-tree candidates in one batch instead of asking a 7B vision-language model to decode an action token by token.

TAM turns verified task advancement into online state and reusable operations for GUI agents

Submitted October 27, Task Advancement Memory (TAM) uses what has been reliably accomplished at two timescales: it maintains verified progress, remaining goals and visual evidence during a task, then extracts reusable operations from locally successful segments after the task, including segments inside an overall failed workflow.
