Graphical user interface (GUI) agents have advanced rapidly but still struggle with complex tasks involving novel UI elements, long-horizon actions, and personalized trajectories. In this work, we introduce Instruction Agent, a GUI agent that leverages expert demonstrations to solve such tasks, enabling completion of otherwise difficult workflows. Given a single demonstration, the agent extracts step-by-step instructions and executes them by strictly following the trajectory intended by the user, which avoids making mistakes during execution. The agent leverages the verifier and backtracker modules further to improve robustness. Both modules are critical to understand the current outcome from each action and handle unexpected interruptions(such as pop-up windows) during execution. Our experiments show that Instruction Agent achieves a 60% success rate on a set of tasks in OSWorld that all top-ranked agents failed to complete. The Instruction Agent offers a practical and extensible framework, bridging the gap between current GUI agents and reliable real-world GUI task automation.

We've been waiting and waiting, and Nintendo finally did the right thing and announced an entirely new piece of hardware. Alas, it's not a new console but a very Nintendo-looking smart alarm clock. The Alarmo has motion sensors that let you snooze it based on your movement. You'll also be able to check how much you move around while you sleep, and the clock has sleeping sounds and music to drift off to. You can set the clock's background with scenes inspired by the likes of Super Mario Odyssey, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Splatoon 3, Pikmin 4 and, er, Ring Fit Adventure.

What does it mean to be artificially intelligent? More than an endless parlor game for amateur philosophers, this debate is central to the forthcoming Artificial Intelligence Regulation for the 447 million citizens of the European Union. The AI Reg--better known as the AI Act, or AIA--will determine what AI can be deployed in the EU, and how much it costs an organization to do so. The AIA, of course, is not only a context for this conversation but an artifact of a much larger moment. Vast quantities of data are being gathered not only on us as individuals but also on every component of our societies.

But even if you do, you've won only half of the battle. You'll find it more important to make sure your traffic brings results. Your visitors should hopefully subscribe to your newsletter or blog. If that doesn't happen, your site won't meet its full potential. And may fail to generate any ROI.

Decades ago, Star Trek introduced the idea of a "universal translator," a small baton that let crew members converse with aliens in their native languages simply by flipping a switch. This app isn't part of the pre-installed loadout on most phones, but it's indispensable when you travel. It's so overflowing with features, in fact, you might not even realize everything it can do. So here are the six most awesome and useful things you can do with Google Translate on your smartphone. You won't always have the best mobile data connection while traveling the world, so it's a good idea to have an offline backup in Translate.

If you trade stocks, you've probably made a few losing trades that still keep you up at night. The stock market moves quickly, and volatility can lead even the most seasoned trader to buy or sell in a panic. Whatever strategy you choose, the most important thing for your long-term returns is that you stick to it. You'd be better off if you stopped yourself before trading in a panic. Unfortunately, human emotions are powerful, and it's hard to think rationally when your nervous system has other plans.

If there's one thing the optimization community agree on it's that we know nothing. We all have biases, not least of which is our experience as professional website optimizers. This point was raised again and again during Conversion World conference. So, we need a lot of support to understand our users and optimize their experiences. We try to start the process of optimization from as unbiased a point as possible.
