New Test Checks How Well AI Agents Handle Everyday Shopping Tasks

A new research paper called LifeVal introduces a way to test AI models on personalised tasks that consumers might ask them to do. The tests focus on agentic work, where the AI has to carry out multi-step actions rather than just answer a question. The paper aims to show how well different models perform on these practical jobs.
