Qwen UI Agent

Alibaba's MAI-UI Team released Qwen-UI-Agent, a foundation GUI agent that navigates mobile, desktop, and web interfaces to complete real-world tasks, achieving 89.9 on Tau2-Bench and 64.1 on BrowseComp, outperforming Qwen3.5-27B and other models. The model preserves general reasoning and instruction-following capabilities while adding GUI-specific skills, as detailed in the Qwen-UI-Agent Technical Report.

Mobile GUI Use

Optimized for everyday tasks in real-device mobile GUI use, the model navigates changing Android apps, accounts, content, and network conditions to search, compare, schedule, shop, and coordinate reliably.

Towards Next-Generation Real-World Centric Foundation GUI Agent

One agent that thinks, searches, and acts across mobile, desktop, and the web to complete real-world, long-horizon tasks.

Built to complete real work across GUI interfaces.

Optimized for everyday tasks in real-device mobile GUI use, the model navigates changing Android apps, accounts, content, and network conditions to search, compare, schedule, shop, and coordinate reliably.

Author-reproduced result: the baseline was independently evaluated in the authors’ environment rather than copied from the model provider’s report.

Real-world tasks demand more than interface interaction—they also require knowledge, multimodal reasoning, instruction following, and tool use. Qwen-UI-Agent gains strong GUI capabilities without becoming a narrow GUI-only model, preserving the base model’s general reasoning and agentic strengths for broader tasks.

Multimodal understanding, knowledge, mathematics, and instruction following.

Recipe research + e-shopping

I’m planning to make “passion-fruit sour-soup beef” tonight. Search Douyin for the most-saved photo-and-text post, save it, and remember the ingredients I need to prepare. Then, in the Hema app, purchase all the ingredients mentioned in the post—excluding seasonings—select delivery for 18:45 today, and place the order.

Complete everyday workflows across changing apps on physical mobile devices.

The agent first extracts a recipe and its ingredients from Douyin, then carries that information into Hema to complete a time-constrained grocery order.
