AndroTMem: From Interaction Trajectories to Anchored Memory in Long-Horizon GUI Agents

Recent GUI agents have made substantial progress in visual grounding and action prediction, yet they remain brittle in long-horizon tasks that require maintaining task state across many interface transitions. Existing agents typically rely on raw history replay or text-only memory, which either overwhelms the model with redundant screenshots or discards localized visual evidence needed for future decisions. To address these limitations, we introduce MementoGUI, a plug-in agentic memory framework that equips MLLM-based GUI agents with MementoCore, a learned controller for online memory selection, compression, and retrieval. Rather than treating interaction history as a fixed context, MementoGUI formulates long-horizon GUI control as an online memory-control problem: working memory selectively preserves task-relevant interface events with textual summaries and ROI-level visual evidence, while episodic memory retrieves reusable past trajectories through learned relevance selection. MementoCore modularizes memory control into specialized operators for step processing, memory compression, episodic writing, and episodic selection, enabling plug-in memory augmentation without finetuning the GUI agent backbone. We further develop a scalable data curation pipeline that converts computer-use trajectories into memory-controller training data, introduce MementoGUI-Bench for evaluating long-horizon decision-making in GUI agents, and design MLLM-based metrics for semantic action matching, task progress, and memory consistency. Experiments on GUI-Odyssey, MM-Mind2Web, and MementoGUI-Bench show that MementoGUI consistently improves GUI agents over no-history, history-replay, and text-only memory baselines, with larger MementoCore backbones further strengthening memory-augmented GUI control.

Mobile GUI agents increasingly face long-horizon tasks that require reading, updating, and reusing task-relevant data across pages and applications. Existing methods treat memory largely as passive storage, where past observations are accumulated and retrieved when needed. Yet retrieving a value does not reveal its current role in the workflow. The agent must still infer from accumulated records whether the value should be used now, has already been used, or must wait for a later dependency. This implicit reconstruction becomes unreliable in long trajectories with repeated values, distractors, and outdated states, causing repeated or missed operations. To address this, we propose Active Task Driving Memory (ATMem), which shifts GUI-agent memory from passive storage to an actively maintained execution state. ATMem maintains task-relevant information as a continually updated execution state that links each value to its role and current status, enabling action selection based on the current workflow state. While supervised fine-tuning enables the agent to construct ATMem, it does not teach when ATMem is beneficial. We therefore introduce STR-GRPO, an online reinforcement learning method that encourages selective use of ATMem based on its contribution to task completion. STR-GRPO contrasts memory-on and memory-off rollouts to estimate when memory use improves execution, while memory-cost-aware reward discourages costly memory usage that does not improve execution. To evaluate whether agents can complete all in-scope work while avoiding out-of-scope actions, we build a challenging mobile benchmark. From a list of near identical entries, agents must act on every entry that satisfies the instruction and reject entries that violate its constraints. We further introduce App-Level Progress and Scope-Aware F1 to measure these two dimensions separately.

Memory-augmented mobile GUI agents store successful execution trajectories and reuse them in later tasks, but a stored trajectory rarely matches a new task exactly. The new task may use different parameters, share only some of its steps with a stored trajectory, or have no relevant record in memory. Forcing the agent to use irrelevant memory can mislead it, whereas discarding memory that may still be useful deprives it of guidance from past experience. To address this dilemma, we propose DeltaReplay, a step-level memory reuse framework that decides how to use existing memory without modifying it. We observe that the reusable part of a stored record is determined not by the record itself but by its relation to the new task, mainly through two factors: page-level consistency and action-level generality. We therefore store execution trajectories as paths in a transition graph, whose nodes (pages) and edges (actions between pages) capture these two factors. At reuse time, the action on each edge is split into a task-independent operation and task-specific parameters. DeltaReplay then compares each recorded step with the new task and the current screen, and decides whether to follow it, execute it after replacing its parameters, or leave it to the base agent. On AndroidWorld and SPA-Bench, DeltaReplay improves the task success rate over a base agent with the same backbone by up to 10.3 and 25.0 percentage points, respectively. These results indicate that deciding at each step how to use retrieved memory lets agents benefit even from partially matching trajectories.
