In the field of MLLM-based GUI agents, compared to smartphones, the PC scenario not only features a more complex interactive environment, but also involves more intricate intra- and inter-app workflows. To address these issues, we propose a hierarchical agent framework named PC-Agent. Specifically, from the perception perspective, we devise an Active Perception Module (APM) to overcome the inadequate abilities of current MLLMs in perceiving screenshot content. From the decision-making perspective, to handle complex user instructions and interdependent subtasks more effectively, we propose a hierarchical multi-agent collaboration architecture that decomposes decision-making processes into Instruction-Subtask-Action levels. Within this architecture, three agents (i.e., Manager, Progress and Decision) are set up for instruction decomposition, progress tracking and step-by-step decision-making respectively. Additionally, a Reflection agent is adopted to enable timely bottom-up error feedback and adjustment. We also introduce a new benchmark PC-Eval with 25 real-world complex instructions. Empirical results on PC-Eval show that our PC-Agent achieves a 32% absolute improvement of task success rate over previous state-of-the-art methods. The code is available at https://github.com/X-PLUG/MobileAgent/tree/main/PC-Agent.

  1. From Virtual Agents to Robot Teams: A Multi-Robot Framework Evaluation in High-Stakes Healthcare Context

    cs.RO 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Adding a structured knowledge base raised a simulated CrewAI healthcare robot team's process score from 45.29% to 72.94%, but five failure modes, including false completion and poor recovery, persisted.

  2. An Auditable Agent Platform For Automated Molecular Optimisation

    cs.LG 2025-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A hierarchical multi-agent LLM platform with recorded provenance improved average predicted binding affinity for AKT1 by 31%, while single-agent runs favored drug-likeness.

  3. Atomic-to-Compositional Generalization for Mobile Agents with A New Benchmark and Scheduling System

    cs.CL 2025-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    AI phone agents succeed on single-step commands but fail on multi-step compositions; a new benchmark measures this gap and a scheduler that decomposes tasks recovers most of it.
