Abstract

Graphical User Interface (GUI) agents powered by vision-language models hold promise for automating real-world mobile tasks. However, progress is limited by the lack of high-coverage, long-horizon interaction trajectories collected from element-rich and rapidly evolving apps.

Existing pipelines often rely on costly human demonstrations or on-policy framework, which tends to over-sample common flows while missing rare transitions and complex multi-step procedures. To address this problem, we propose SEE, a two-stage data synthesis framework consisting of (i) an efficient exploration stage that builds an explicit UI transition graph over screens and elements, and (ii) a graph-based synthesis stage that composes diverse multi-step trajectories via planning and controlled sampling.

This design yields reproducible and explainable data generation, while explicitly preventing spurious cycles and enabling long-horizon composition. Across multiple real-world apps, SEE produces trajectories with an average length of 14.8 steps while avoiding spurious loops, and agents fine-tuned on SEE achieve improved task success and generalization to unseen screens.

We will publicly release our synthesis code and dataset.
