WorkWorlds: An Infrastructure for Evaluating AI Agents on Workplace Tasks
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.23806v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Many knowledge-work benchmarks are constructed around individual tasks, with the context needed for each task selected together with or after the task has been specified. This design measures performance on workplace-like tasks in an environment assembled for the task. When task specification guides which context is selected, the evaluation can encode task information into the environment and pre-complete part of the information-localization work that workplace performance normally requires. We introduce WorkWorlds, an evaluation infrastructure t
