打造能实时对话的智能代理中介，让长任务更透明可控

Long-horizon AI agents are becoming increasingly capable, yet their interaction with users remains surprisingly thin. In most workflows, users give an initial instruction, receive only selective textual updates, and lose a clear sense of what the agent is doing or when to step in. This leaves a missing part in the current agent ecosystem: an always-on Jarvis-style mediator that keeps the agent continuously reachable to the user. Such a mediator should support real-time spoken interaction with the user, answer questions without interrupting the worker, proactively report progress or confusion, and inject user guidance back into the agent's execution when useful. In this work, we introduce JarvisBench, a benchmark for measuring the dual value of mediation in long-horizon agent workflows. JarvisBench contains two complementary tracks: an agent-collaboration track that measures whether mediation improves downstream task completion, and a user-interaction track that measures whether mediation makes ongoing execution more understandable, responsive, and accessible to users. We instantiate the benchmark with a modular reference Jarvis prototype and evaluate it on 34 text-only WildClaw tasks executed in OpenClaw. Preliminary results with GPT-5.5, Claude Opus 4.7, Gemini-based, and GPT-based worker agents suggest that Jarvis-style mediation can provide trace-grounded responses to user questions and improve task performance when sparse user guidance is injected at appropriate moments. The results also show that effectiveness depends strongly on the mediator's LLM brain, highlighting both the promise of this missing middle layer and the need for broader community effort.
