JarvisGUI: Towards Cross-Device GUI Agents with Dynamic Task Composition

JarvisGUI benchmark tests GUI agents on cross-device workflows across Android, Windows, and Ubuntu, revealing major gaps in state transfer and long-horizon reasoning.

JarvisGUI is a dynamic benchmark that formulates GUI tasks as input-output transformations under a lightweight type system, automatically composing multi-step cross-device workflows across Android, Windows, and Ubuntu virtual environments. Evaluation shows state-of-the-art open-source GUI agents struggle with state-transfer awareness, cross-platform contextual reasoning, and long-horizon dependency management, exposing a capability gap invisible to existing single-device benchmarks.

Meta bets on AI agent Muse to catch up in AI race

Meta launched Muse, a free personal AI agent in the US that autonomously shops, emails, and plans trips, powered by its in-house Muse Spark model.

Meta unveiled Muse, a consumer personal AI agent that handles tasks like online shopping, emailing, and trip planning, continues working in the background, and requests approval for purchases. It launches in the US on iOS, Android, and muse.ai, is free for most users with unspecified paid tiers, and runs on Meta's in-house Muse Spark model. Muse executes on a cloud virtual machine with a Sentinel agent policing outbound actions, and Meta promises an encrypted confidential VM later this year plus 1Password, Shop Pay, and Stripe Link support. The launch is positioned as the centerpiece of Meta's effort to catch up with OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google.

The /wayfinder Skill: Navigating the “Fog of War” of Planning

Matt Pocock released the /wayfinder skill, an orchestrator layer that manages planning sessions, maps, and tickets for AFK coding agents.

Latent Space interviews Matt Pocock, whose AI Skills for Real Engineers project has 220,000+ GitHub stars, about his new /wayfinder skill. The skill manages agent context during ambiguous planning by splitting work into grilling, prototype, research, and task tickets organized under a shared map, enabling overnight AFK agent runs. It uses deliberate terminology like map, ticket, and session to steer agent behavior, and was tested on projects including a personal website rearchitecture.

This AI entrepreneur is developing agents that can plan ahead for the unexpected

Ex-Google DeepMind researcher Danijar Hafner founded a stealth robotics startup applying world models and model-based reinforcement learning to humanoid agents.

Danijar Hafner, 31, left Google DeepMind in fall 2025 to found a stealth San Francisco startup developing humanoid robots that plan ahead using world models trained via model-based reinforcement learning. His prior work includes PlaNet, Dreamer 2 (first human-level Atari agent in a world model), Dreamer 3 (solved the Minecraft Diamond challenge), Dreamer 4 (learned diamond mining from offline video), and DayDreamer, which let robots adapt to novel situations without task-specific training. The profile covers his career from Google Brain intern to founder aiming to handle unfamiliar real-world environments.

OpenClaw Power, MacBook Simplicity: Five Days With Grok Bot

Hands-on review finds Grok Bot simplifies agent setup via browser logins and bot abstraction, contrasting with the user-owned OpenClaw platform.

After five days with Grok Bot, the reviewer highlights browser-based sign-in as the key differentiator: connecting X, Freshdesk, and Google Calendar required only logins, no MCP configs or API keys. The piece contrasts Grok Bot's managed 'agent computer' with OpenClaw 2.0's user-owned Gateway, which now supports reusing Claude Code or Codex logins and ships a native Codex runtime. Grok Bot introduces 'Bots' as composable units arranged in 'group chats', exemplified by an Agentic Engineer Bot routing tasks across Claude Code, Codex, and Grok Build CLI. The reviewer used Grok Bot with a Cursor Pro+ account.
