Abstract

Smartphone personal assistants reason over longitudinal personal data, yet evaluating them requires context-rich evaluation data whose correct answers are known, and real device traces are too privacy-sensitive to share. To address this challenge, we present SenWorld, a physically grounded, deterministic, event-sourced digital-twin simulation that generates such data with ground truth fixed by construction. In SenWorld, personas live through a full day in a world built from real map, weather, holiday, and network data; every observable signal is archived in full-system snapshots; and each evaluation case is labeled by a pointer to an existing record rather than by post-hoc annotation or a large language model (LLM) judge. We evaluate this method with 16 personas in Beijing. The generated data closely matches the held-out real-user benchmark in category distribution (Jensen--Shannon divergence (JSD) 0.070) and in the daily rhythm of communication records (JSD below 0.1), though generated records remain shorter than real ones. Without scripted interaction, personas form a fully reciprocated dialogue subgraph and differentiated behavioral repertoires. Projected into 717 evaluation cases, the generated data exposes 78 failures in a production smartphone assistant, concentrating on call and Short Message Service (SMS) records while contacts, schedules, and alarms never fail. The snapshot pointer confirms each failure as an assistant-side retrieval error, with no LLM judge involved. Overall, SenWorld offers a privacy-safe, reproducible, and distribution-checked path to evaluation data whose labels are fixed by construction.

ProfileFoundry: A Synthetic Person-Object Substrate for Privacy, Memory, and Tool-Use Evaluation in LLM Agent

Foundation-model research increasingly needs data about people: user state, personal histories, relationships, contact-like fields, documents, and longitudinal updates. Real user data is difficult to share, perturb, audit, or redistribute responsibly, while independently generated fake fields rarely preserve the cross-field and temporal consistency needed for controlled evaluation. We present PROFILEFOUNDRY, a deterministic generator and fixed reference release of 100,000 adult synthetic Person Objects across eight locales. Each object combines a typed current snapshot, household, family, and employer links, snapshot-aligned events, normalized relational views, and generation provenance. The release contains 709,228 events, 40,338 households, 52,491 employers, and 518,564 directed relationship edges. We report evidence in separate categories: selected population-marginal comparisons, per-object invariant checks, release-wide referential and temporal closure, and coincidence/provenance screens. PROFILEFOUNDRY is not a population-fidelity model, a rendered-text corpus, or a formal privacy mechanism. Instead, it is a responsible synthetic source layer for constructing downstream foundation-model evaluations involving memory, privacy, document understanding, record linkage, and agent state while keeping the synthetic person behind each artifact inspectable

MatrAIx: Simulating the World with 8.3 Billion Persona Agents

Human evaluation of AI systems and digital products is costly, slow, and difficult to scale. Offline evaluations are more scalable but often abstract away human diversity and interactive behavior. We therefore introduce MatrAIx, a population-scale simulated-user evaluation infrastructure for testing AI systems and digital products with heterogeneous users. MatrAIx has three core components: First, Persona 8B contains 8.3 billion persona records represented by 1,290 categorical dimensions. Records are either sampled from a dependency graph that preserves correlated attributes or derived from human-authored profiles. We release a quality-filtered coreset of approximately 1 million personas, comprising 599,847 human-grounded and 400,000 synthetic records. Second, the MatrAIx Playground provides four environments in which diverse users evaluate and interact with digital products: Survey, AI Chatbot, Web, and App. Third, MatrAIx provides 1,010 application tasks spanning more than 25 domains, including Commerce, Software, Finance, and Healthcare. We conducted 18,189 evaluation trials across eight representative tasks. Persona agents were powered by three LLMs: Claude Opus 4.8, GPT 5.5, and Claude Haiku 4.5. The resulting feedback captures how decisions and preferences vary across persona backgrounds, including hesitation after a price increase, willingness to continue after an AI assistant fails, and latency tolerance. We conducted two main validation studies: First, a 400-trial controlled study evaluated persona adherence across ten behavioral attributes and all four environments. The declared behavior was expressed or correctly suppressed in 366 trials (91.5%). Second, human and LLM judges evaluated the extraction quality of human-grounded personas. Overall, MatrAIx provides an end-to-end infrastructure for evaluating AI systems and digital products with diverse simulated human users.

iOSWorld: A Benchmark for Personally Intelligent Phone Agents

A useful phone agent needs to be personally intelligent. It should reason over a user's identity, history, and preferences as they exist on the device, not just follow isolated instructions in an impersonal sandbox. Existing mobile agent benchmarks lack this kind of personalization. We introduce iOSWorld, the first interactive native iOS simulator benchmark built around a persistent user identity spanning 26 newly built iOS apps. These apps contain connected data such as transactions, messages, travel records, social relationships, and financial activity. iOSWorld includes 133 tasks across three increasingly difficult categories. Single-app tasks (27) test one app, multi-app tasks (60) span 2 to 8 apps, and memory and personalization tasks (46) require agents to infer patterns from personal data. We evaluate frontier and open-source computer-use models in both vision-only and privileged vision+XML settings. The best configuration reaches 52% overall but only 37% on multi-app tasks. Privileged vision+XML access improves frontier models by up to 26 percentage points, while smaller models do not benefit from added accessibility-tree input. We release iOSWorld as an open-source benchmark with all apps, seeded data, tasks, rubrics, and evaluation code.
