Abstract
UI-KOBE framework enhances lightweight mobile GUI agents by incorporating reusable app-specific graph knowledge to improve task planning and execution efficiency.
Recent advances inmobile GUI agentshave shown strong potential for automating mobile tasks, but most effective systems still depend on largevision-language modelsfor screenshot understanding and long-horizon planning. Small GUI agents that can be deployed directly on mobile devices are more attractive for practical use, offering lower inference cost and better protection of sensitive on-device information. However, due to limited model capacity, such lightweight agents remain unreliable when planning and executing GUI tasks end-to-end from screenshots alone. We propose Knowledge-Oriented Behavior Exploration (UI-KOBE), a framework that improves lightweightmobile GUI agentswith reusable app-specific graph knowledge. UI-KOBE first autonomously explores a mobile application and constructs anapp knowledge graph, where nodes represent distinctUI statesand edges representexecutable transitions. At runtime, a lightweight GUI agent uses the graph as external guidance: given a user task and the current screenshot, it identifies the current graph node and selects amongself-loop actions,neighboring transitions,task completion, orfallback free actionsassociated with that node. By supportingruntime decisionswith app-specific graph guidance, UI-KOBE reduces the burden ofend-to-end GUI planningand helps lightweight models perform mobile GUI tasks more effectively, offering a practical step toward efficient, interpretable, and privacy-conscious on-device GUI agents.
