Technical capabilities & system architecture
Documention: (Release blog post, archived) (more technical details in ComputerRL, MobileRL, AgentRL - upcoming)
Documentation not found on Developer’s Platform
Observation space: User input, Internet access, Computer GUI elements (Appendix C Prompt Formulation for AutoGLM-OS - Observation formulation from ComputerRL (link))
Action space: Sandboxed cloud computers GUI with Internet access (Detailed action space can be found on ComputerRL (link))
Memory architecture: - Long-term memory for historical data and conversations (Appendix C Prompt Formulation for AutoGLM-OS - History formulation from ComputerRL (link))
- No evidence of episodic memory across different conversations
User interface and interaction design: Standard chatbot interface with an option to initiate web agents;
Human users can take over the cloud computer GUI (e.g. to input passwords for account login purposes)
User roles: Operator (Users can run the agents)
Executor (Users can interact with cloud computer GUI to provide human credentials and make decisions)
Component accessibility: Closed source
Autonomy & control
User approval requirements for different decision types: User input is needed for certain kinds of tasks (e.g., user authentication, payment, blog post release decisions)
Execution monitoring, traces, and transparency: Highly abbreviated action trace (such as listing out all searched webpage, clicking ), no visible CoT
Emergency stop and shut down mechanisms and user control: User can pause/stop the agent at any time
Usage monitoring and statistics and patterns: None found, AutoGLM is free to use on web version at the moment
Ecosystem interaction
Identify to humans?: - Claims to have legally incorporated explicit and implicit identifiers into this product and its generated content, complying with the National Standard Measures for the Labelling of Artificial Intelligence-Generated and Synthetic Content (effective September 1, 2025) (link, archived)
- Nothing found on identifiers with non-user humans for AutoGLM
- Images generated from AutoGLM (by calling self-developed image generation tools) has an AI-generated identifier at bottom-right, but could be irrelevant with web agents
Identifies technically?: None, CUA seems to interact with computer GUI like a human, without adding any specific identification to requests
Interoperability standards and integrations: None, no mentions of AGNTCY, Agent Connect Protocol (ACP), Model Context Protocol (MCP), and Agent2Agent (A2A) protocol anywhere.
Web conduct: None found
