abstract
LLM-based web agents have the potential to automate long-running web tasks, such as searching for products in multiple e-shops and subsequently ordering the cheapest products that meet the users needs. Benchmarks for evaluating web agents either require agents to perform tasks online using the live Web or offline using simulated environments, the latter allowing for the exact reproduction of the experimental setup. While DeepShop and ShoppingComp provide online benchmarks that require agents to perform challenging shopping tasks, existing offline benchmarks such as WebShop, WebArena, and Mind2Web cover only comparatively simple e-commerce tasks performed against a single shop containing product data from a single source. What is missing is an e-commerce benchmark that simulates multiple shops containing heterogeneous product data and requires agents to perform complex retrieval tasks. We fill this gap by introducing WebMall, the first offline multi-shop benchmark for evaluating web agents on challenging comparison shopping tasks. WebMall consists of four simulated shops populated with product data extracted from the Common Crawl. The WebMall tasks range from specific product searches and price comparisons to advanced searches for complementary or substitute products, as well as checkout processes. We validate WebMall using eight agents that differ in observation space, availability of short-term memory, and the employed LLM. The validation highlights the difficulty of the benchmark, with the best-performing agents achieving task completion rates below 65% in the task categories cheapest product search and vague product search.

RecoAtlas is a benchmark that evaluates LLM recommendation agents on behavior-grounded metrics for relevance, complementarity, and diversity in addition to semantic coherence.
RAG, MCP, and NLWeb interfaces let LLM web agents achieve higher F1 scores (0.75-0.77 vs 0.67) and much lower token usage and runtime than HTML in controlled e-commerce tasks.
SimGym is a browser-based VLM agent framework that simulates A/B test outcomes on e-commerce storefronts with 77% directional agreement on add-to-cart shifts from real buyer traffic.
