Overview

Windows Agent Arena is Microsoft’s research environment for testing computer-use agents on realistic Windows tasks.

Researchers can run agents against more than 150 Windows tasks covering browser work, office applications and system settings. The project includes Navi as a reference agent and supports local evaluation or parallel runs through Azure Machine Learning.

Setup requires Docker, Python, model credentials and a prepared Windows 11 virtual machine. Researchers choose the agent, tasks and difficulty, then inspect the resulting actions and task outcomes. It is a benchmark environment rather than a ready-made personal desktop assistant.

The linked September 2024 video introduces the original research release; current setup instructions are in the repository.

Autonomy level

31/100

Our subjective rating of how independently the product carries out its documented tasks, considering the human setup, input, approval and review it needs. This is not a measured success rate.

Reasoning: Windows Agent Arena runs configured evaluations and supplies a reference computer-use agent. Researchers prepare the virtual machine, select models and tasks and interpret results. This rating describes the benchmark’s assisted research workflow, not a model success rate or a promise that it can independently manage a personal computer.
