Abstract:Language-model agents are increasingly used as persistent coworkers that assist users across multiple working days. During such workflows, the surrounding environment may change independently of the agent: new emails arrive, calendar entries shift, knowledge-base records are updated, and evidence appears across images, scanned PDFs, audio, video, and spreadsheets. Existing benchmarks do not adequately evaluate this setting because they typically run within a single static episode and remain largely text-centric. We introduce \bench{}, a benchmark for coworker agents built around multi-turn multi-day tasks, a stateful sandboxed service environment whose state evolves between turns, and rule-based verification. The current release contains 100 tasks across 13 professional scenarios, executed against five stateful sandboxed services (filesystem, email, calendar, knowledge base, spreadsheet) and scored by 1537 deterministic Python checkers over post-execution service state; no LLM-as-judge is invoked during scoring. We benchmark seven frontier agent systems. The strongest model reaches 75.8 weighted score, but the best strict Task Success is only 20.0\%, indicating that partial progress is common while complete end-to-end workflow completion remains rare. Turn-level analysis shows that performance drops after the first exogenous environment update, highlighting adaptation to changing state as a key open challenge. We release the benchmark, evaluation harness, and construction pipeline to support reproducible coworker-agent evaluation.
Abstract:Research agents have recently achieved significant progress in information seeking and synthesis across heterogeneous textual and visual sources. In this paper, we introduce MuSEAgent, a multimodal reasoning agent that enhances decision-making by extending the capabilities of research agents to discover and leverage stateful experiences. Rather than relying on trajectory-level retrieval, we propose a stateful experience learning paradigm that abstracts interaction data into atomic decision experiences through hindsight reasoning. These experiences are organized into a quality-filtered experience bank that supports policy-driven experience retrieval at inference time. Specifically, MuSEAgent enables adaptive experience exploitation through complementary wide- and deep-search strategies, allowing the agent to dynamically retrieve multimodal guidance across diverse compositional semantic viewpoints. Extensive experiments demonstrate that MuSEAgent consistently outperforms strong trajectory-level experience retrieval baselines on both fine-grained visual perception and complex multimodal reasoning tasks. These results validate the effectiveness of stateful experience modeling in improving multimodal agent reasoning.
