Automated interaction with graphical user interfaces (GUIs) is central to General Artificial Intelligence yet remains challenging within Super App ecosystems, characterized by non-standard rendering and absent accessibility metadata. While GUI agents often rely on explicit accessibility trees or static imitation, they are less explored for dynamic environments marked by sparse feedback and implicit visual cues. We present GUI0, a framework synergizing autonomous data synthesis with dual-agent co-evolution. GUI0 establishes a domain-aware foundation model via synthesized corpora and employs curriculum-driven reinforcement learning, where a curriculum agent generates boundary tasks to optimize an actor agent.Empirical results demonstrate three key advantages: (1) State-of-the-art performance on the SuperAPP benchmark, outperforming Gemini-2.5-Pro and Claude-4-Sonnet; (2) universal efficacy across diverse base models, consistently yielding substantial improvements on both Qwen2.5-VL and GUI-Owl variants; and (3) robust zero-shot generalization to standard GUIs (e.g., +62.7% on ScreenSpot Pro).

Dialogue assistants have become ubiquitous in modern applications, fundamentally reshaping human daily communication patterns and information access behaviors. In real-world conversational interactions, however, user queries are often volatile, ambiguous, and diverse, making it difficult accurately and efficiently grasp the user’s underlying intentions. To address this challenge, we propose a simple yet effective deliberative agent framework that leverages human thought process to build high-level domain knowledge. To further achieve efficient knowledge accumulation and retrieval, we design a tree-structured knowledge base to store refined experience and data. Moreover, we construct a new benchmark, User-Intent-Understanding (UIU), which covers multi-domain, multi-tone, and sequential multi-turn personalized user queries. Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed method across multi-step evaluations.

Recently, tool use with LLMs has become one of the primary research topics as it can help LLM generate truthful and helpful responses. Existing studies on tool use with LLMs primarily focus on enhancing the tool-calling ability of LLMs. In practice, like chat assistants, LLMs are also required to align with human values in the context of tool use. Specifically, LLMs should refuse to answer unsafe tool use relevant instructions and insecure tool responses to ensure their reliability and harmlessness. At the same time, LLMs should demonstrate autonomy in tool use to reduce the costs associated with tool calling. To tackle this issue, we first introduce the principle that LLMs should follow in tool use scenarios: H2A. The goal of H2A is to align LLMs with **helpfulness**, **harmlessness**, and **autonomy**. In addition, we propose ToolAlign, a dataset comprising instruction-tuning data and preference data to align LLMs with the H2A principle for tool use. Based on ToolAlign, we develop LLMs by supervised fine-tuning and preference learning, and experimental results demonstrate that the LLMs exhibit remarkable tool-calling capabilities, while also refusing to engage with harmful content, and displaying a high degree of autonomy in tool utilization.
