SummaryResearch paper introducing NeXUI, a benchmark for assistive UI agents that must navigate web interfaces and explain each step in clear language for blind and visually impaired users, evaluating safety, efficiency, task success, and explanation grounding. Results show state-of-the-art models like Gemini-3.5-Flash reach only 44% success.
Why it mattersAdds a benchmark that judges agents on explanation and user oversight rather than task completion alone, surfacing concrete gaps in current foundation models for assistive contexts.
