Agent-S uses Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) to observe desktop screenshots, extract visual and textual elements through grounding mechanisms, and generate coordinate-based GUI actions. The system maintains a unified LMM provider abstraction layer supporting OpenAI, Anthropic, and other LMM backends, with message management that preserves visual context across multi-turn interactions. Actions are grounded to screen coordinates via PyAutoGUI execution primitives, enabling pixel-perfect GUI automation.
Unique: Implements unified LMM provider abstraction with native support for vision-language models' function-calling APIs, enabling agents to reason about GUI state and generate grounded actions in a single forward pass rather than separate perception-planning-execution cycles
vs alternatives: Achieves 72.60% accuracy on OSWorld benchmark (first to surpass human performance) by combining visual grounding with in-context reinforcement learning, outperforming single-shot vision-based agents through iterative refinement
Agent-S2 implements a two-level planning hierarchy where a Manager agent decomposes high-level tasks into subtasks using DAG-based planning, and Worker agents execute individual subtasks with focused context. The Manager maintains task dependencies and execution order, while Workers operate with reduced context windows, improving efficiency and enabling parallel execution. This architecture is implemented via manager_step() and worker_step() methods with shared knowledge base integration for state synchronization.
Unique: Implements explicit DAG-based task planning with manager-worker separation, allowing the Manager to maintain global task state and dependencies while Workers focus on execution, unlike flat agents that must track all context in a single LMM context window
vs alternatives: Outperforms flat architectures on complex multi-step tasks by reducing per-worker context overhead and enabling explicit dependency tracking, though adds synchronization latency compared to single-agent approaches
Agent-S3 integrates a local coding environment where agents can generate and execute Python code directly for programmatic operations. The CodeAgent component generates Python scripts for tasks like file I/O, data processing, or API calls, executing them in a controlled environment. Execution results are captured and fed back to the agent for further planning. This capability enables agents to choose between GUI automation and direct code execution based on task requirements, improving efficiency for programmatic tasks.
Unique: Integrates CodeAgent capability enabling agents to generate and execute Python code in a local environment, enabling hybrid automation that switches between GUI interactions and direct code execution based on task efficiency
vs alternatives: Enables more efficient task completion than pure GUI automation for programmatic operations, while maintaining flexibility through agent-driven modality selection
Agent-S uses PyAutoGUI as the unified execution backend for GUI automation across Linux, macOS, and Windows. The system abstracts platform-specific differences through a coordinate-based action interface, translating high-level action descriptions (click, type, scroll) into PyAutoGUI commands. Platform-specific implementations handle display scaling, coordinate system differences, and OS-specific input methods. This approach enables agents to control any GUI application without platform-specific rewrites.
Unique: Implements unified cross-platform GUI automation through PyAutoGUI with platform-specific coordinate system handling, enabling agents to control any GUI application without application-specific APIs or rewrites
vs alternatives: Provides more universal compatibility than API-based approaches (works with any application) while being simpler than platform-specific native APIs, though with higher latency
Agent-S integrates RAG capabilities through embedding engines that encode task descriptions, procedural memory, and historical execution traces into vector space. The system retrieves relevant examples and procedures based on semantic similarity to the current task, augmenting the agent's context with relevant knowledge. This approach combines procedural memory with dynamic retrieval, enabling agents to leverage task-specific knowledge without explicit prompt engineering.
Unique: Integrates RAG with procedural memory through embedding-based retrieval, enabling dynamic knowledge selection based on task context without explicit prompt engineering or context window constraints
vs alternatives: Provides more flexible knowledge integration than static prompts while being more scalable than in-context learning with large knowledge bases
Agent-S integrates OCR services (Tesseract, EasyOCR, or cloud-based) to extract text from screenshots and localize UI elements. The OCR pipeline identifies text regions, extracts content, and maps text to screen coordinates, enabling agents to ground natural language references to specific UI elements. This capability is essential for text-based grounding when visual features alone are insufficient. OCR results are cached and reused across multiple agent steps to reduce latency.
Unique: Integrates OCR-based text extraction with coordinate localization for UI element grounding, enabling agents to reference UI elements by content and map text to precise screen coordinates
vs alternatives: Provides more reliable text-based grounding than pure visual reasoning while being more flexible than DOM-based approaches that require application-specific integration
Agent-S implements signal handling for graceful shutdown, allowing agents to save execution state, close resources, and terminate cleanly on interrupt signals (SIGINT, SIGTERM). The system preserves execution traces, screenshots, and agent state to enable resumption or post-mortem analysis. This capability is essential for long-running agents where interruption is expected and state recovery is important.
Unique: Implements signal handling with state preservation for graceful shutdown, enabling long-running agents to save execution traces and state for resumption or post-mortem analysis
vs alternatives: Provides better debugging and resumption capabilities than agents without state preservation, though at the cost of additional complexity and storage overhead
Agent-S3 simplifies the architecture to a single Worker agent with integrated CodeAgent capability, eliminating manager overhead while maintaining task completion accuracy. The agent can generate and execute Python code directly in a local coding environment for programmatic operations, bypassing GUI interactions when more efficient. This flat design uses a single predict() method with reflection-based error recovery, reducing latency and complexity compared to hierarchical versions.
Unique: Integrates CodeAgent capability allowing agents to generate and execute Python code directly in a local environment, enabling hybrid automation that switches between GUI interactions and programmatic operations based on task context
vs alternatives: Achieves lower latency than S2 hierarchical approach (no manager overhead) while maintaining flexibility through code execution capability, trading off complex task decomposition for simplicity and speed
