WorldGUI introduces a benchmark of GUI tasks with varied starting contexts, while WorldGUI-Agent adds checks before planning, before steps, and after actions. Executable pre-actions represent task progress or context changes across 111 Meta tasks and 500 augmented instances. With Claude-3.5-Sonnet, Windows Usage success falls from 50.0% to 19.1%; GPT-4o Actor-Critic ablation lowers success from 26.0% to 9.7%, evidence limited to this evaluation setup.
