DocOS: Towards Proactive Document-Guided Actions in GUI Agents
The paper introduces DocOS, a benchmark aimed at enhancing the capabilities of GUI agents through proactive document-guided actions. This approach allows agents to autonomously search for relevant documentation to solve complex tasks. The study highlights the challenges agents face in locating information and executing precise actions based on retrieved instructions.
- ▪DocOS is designed to assess document-guided problem solving in interactive environments.
- ▪The proposed method enables GUI agents to search for documentation to resolve long-tailed tasks.
- ▪Experiments reveal that agents struggle with locating relevant information and grounding instructions into actions.
