VibeLifeBench: Can Your Life Agent Be Proactive and Persistent in a Living World?

Hugging Face Daily Papers Papers

Summary

Introduces VibeLifeBench, a benchmark of 200 long-horizon tasks across ten everyday-life domains for evaluating proactive and persistent LLM agents in a simulated multi-week living world. Current frontier models score low, highlighting the gap between existing agents and real-life assistance.

Large language model (LLM) agents are increasingly deployed as personal assistants. Existing evaluations, however, mostly use short, self-contained requests in static environments. Everyday life assistance is different. A task runs for weeks rather than minutes. The world keeps changing while the agent is not being prompted. Many constraints are never stated outright. An agent that merely answers the request in front of it will fail at such a task. What is needed instead is an agent that stays proactive and consistent. It decides on its own when to act, when to ask, and when to stay silent. It notices changes that nobody announced. It keeps one plan coherent from the first day to the last. No current benchmark measures this. We introduce VibeLifeBench, a benchmark of 200 long-horizon tasks across ten everyday-life domains. Each task is a scripted multi-week timeline in a simulated world of 22 mock services. The world advances on its own clock, and many of its changes are silent, so only an agent that re-inspects the world discovers them. Every task is graded by fine-grained, weighted checks that read only what the agent actually left behind, covering the end state, the timeliness of its actions, and whether it upheld the implicit constraints.

Abstract

A new benchmark called VibeLifeBench evaluates long-horizon proactive agents across simulated multi-week everyday tasks, revealing that current frontier models perform poorly.

Large language model (LLM) agents are increasingly deployed as personal assistants. Existing evaluations, however, mostly use short, self-contained requests in static environments. Everyday life assistance is different. A task runs for weeks rather than minutes. The world keeps changing while the agent is not being prompted. Many constraints are never stated outright. An agent that merely answers the request in front of it will fail at such a task. What is needed instead is an agent that stays proactive and consistent. It decides on its own when to act, when to ask, and when to stay silent. It notices changes that nobody announced. It keeps one plan coherent from the first day to the last. No current benchmark measures this. We introduceVibeLifeBench, a benchmark of 200long-horizon tasksacross ten everyday-life domains.

Hugging Face Daily Papers

LifeSearch introduces a benchmark of 203 Chinese and English tasks for evaluating deep research agents in real-world life and productivity settings, with over 4,000 expert-written rubrics and experiments on 12 advanced agents, finding that even the best frontier agent (GPT-5.6 Sol) scores only 63.4%.

LifeSide: Benchmarking Agents as Lifelong Digital Companions

arXiv cs.CL

LifeSide is a new benchmark for evaluating AI agents as lifelong digital companions, testing memory tracking, user understanding, privacy control, and emotional companionship across 2,000 personas and 111K tasks in multi-session settings. Results show that even top models fail to sustain accurate user understanding and genuine companionship over long horizons.
