PrecogUI: Proactive GUI Agents via Pre-cognitive Simulation and Experience Retrieval

arXiv:2609.36923v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Existing reactive Graphical User Interface (GUI) agents often fail in long-horizon, dynamic scenarios, where unexpected disturbances trigger attention-diverting and cascading failures. To address this, we propose PrecogUI, a pre-cognitive architecture that shifts the paradigm from reactive execution to proactive decision-making. Specifically, we design a Proactive Experience Pool (PEP), which caches recurring anomaly and success patterns as "state-action-result" tuples in a dual-memory repository. Furthermore, we introduce a Proactive Simulation Executor (PSE) that learns to forecast the next symbolic UI layout given a candidate action, enabling early anomaly avoidance and ranking candidate actions by predicted reliability. Finally, a Pre-cognitive Execution Controller (PEC) fuses these priors and predictions, prioritizes handling of foreseen anomalies, and ensures execution robustness through a closed-loop error correction mechanism. For robust evaluation, we develop AutoTraj, an automatic data-generation engine, to construct InterfereBench, a benchmark for long-horizon tasks with strong disturbances. Experiments demonstrate that PrecogUI surpasses state-of-the-art methods on InterfereBench while maintaining competitive performance on public benchmarks. The code will be publicly available.
