Google and HKU introduce VeriCUA, a framework that validates computer-use agents by checking saved files and app data instead of relying on screenshots or agent self-reports. This approach reduces false-positive rates from ~25% to 5.4% on ScienceBoard, offering a more reliable verification mechanism for agent evaluation and RL rewards.

    Google Proposes VeriCUA to Verify AI Agent Task Completion

    • VeriCUA verifies task completion by building requirement checklists and executing code/file-level checks, rejecting agent self-claims.
    • On ScienceBoard, VeriCUA achieved a 5.4% false-positive rate, significantly outperforming VLM judges (24.8%) and script verifiers (21.7%).
    • For scenarios using agent outputs for training or evals, prioritize checking actual machine state (e.g., saved files) over visual screenshots.
