Paper

Creating General User Models from Computer Use

Omar Shaikh, Shardul Sapkota et al.

Proposes general user models that turn computer-use observations into confidence-weighted propositions and revise them as new context arrives. Demonstrations use this memory to contextualize assistants, manage notifications, and support proactive actions across apps.

UFO2: The Desktop AgentOS

Chaoyun Zhang, He Huang et al.

Introduces UFO2, a Windows desktop agent architecture combining a coordinating HostAgent, application-specialized agents, and a shared GUI/API action layer. It integrates UI Automation, visual parsing, speculative planning, and an isolated picture-in-picture desktop.
