Evaluation of agent performance for general desktop automation tasks using the test split of WindowsAgentArena version 1, reporting scores across Office, Web, System, Code, Media, and Utility categories.

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.

| Scope | Recorded value |
| --- | --- |
| Task | Desktop automation |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | WindowsAgentArena (WAA) v1 (test) |
| Metric | Overall Score |
| Unit | PERCENT |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 13 of 13 |
| Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark |

Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol.
