Abstract
FocusGUI is a lightweight adapter that dynamically selects relevant multimodal evidence for GUI agents to prevent compounding errors from irrelevant context, improving action accuracy without fine-tuning the backbone.
Graphical User Interface (GUI) agents increasingly act over streamingomni-modal observationsspanning screenshots, audio, video, interaction history, and device states. However, exposing this complete context uniformly at every step ignores that relevance is transient and sparse: the signal determining one action can become clutter at the next. Because executed actions feed back into the context, these errors compound intoSequential Distraction, driving the agent into irreversible trajectory drift. We formulate the underlying requirement asFocused Perception: a representation that is step-adaptive, action-sufficient, and non-intrusive. We realize this inFocusGUI, a lightweightadapterthat dynamically prioritizesmultimodal channelsagainst a step-specific decision reference. Instead of uniformly processing all inputs, it compresses the most relevant evidence into a compactlatentand subtly injects it into thefrozen decoder’sembeddings, guiding the model’s attention without altering its native parameter space.FocusGUItrains fromaction supervisionalone, requiring neither modality-relevance labels norbackbone fine-tuning. Across four omni-modal backbones, it raises overall Type Match by +33.2 and Exact Match by 3.0 times over the frozen backbone on average, and Type Match by +30.1 over the strongest existing enhancement method.
