AndroidDaily: A Verifiable Benchmark for Mobile GUI Agents on Real-World Closed-Source Applications
On the map: LLM agents and tool use → GUI and mobile agents
Abstract (arXiv)
The rapid development of GUI foundation models and mobile GUI agents has spurred numerous evaluation benchmarks, yet most rely on simulated environments or open-source applications, leaving real-world closed-source applications largely unevaluated. The core difficulty is that closed-source applications do not expose internal states, making traditional automatic verification inapplicable. To bridge this gap, we introduce AndroidDaily, a large-scale benchmark comprising 350 realistic daily-use tasks across 94 high-frequency Android applications spanning transportation, shopping, local services, entertainment, content creation, social media, and everyday utilities. To enable automatic and verifiable assessment in these opaque environments, we propose Guideline-grounded Reviewer for Automatic Diagnostic Evaluation (GRADE), a process-aware evaluator built on a three-tiered system of observable external guidelines: operational obligations, output quality, and negative constraints. GRADE tracks the agent's visual trajectory against these criteria and produces step-level diagnostic judgments, turning long-horizon, open-ended mobile interactions into verifiable evaluation without relying on hidden internal states. Experiments show that GRADE achieves 87.37% agreement with human evaluators. The strongest model reaches a 62.0% success rate on AndroidDaily, highlighting a substantial gap between current reasoning capabilities and practical execution in realistic mobile workflows.
