摘要
Web agents, which couple language models with browsing and tool-use capabilities, show promise as open web assistants. Yet progress is increasingly limited by the lack of scalable, process-level supervision. Existing benchmarks are largely manually constructed, providing only coarse start–goal annotations without intermediate trajectories, while recent automatic generation efforts remain expensive, biased, and shallow. These limitations prevent reliable training and evaluation of agents that must generalize to realistic, multi-hop, cross-page tasks. We introduce a scalable framework GTA that integrates crawling, retrieval-based seeding, in-context generation, and automated quality control to produce realistic tasks paired with executable trajectories. This design decouples crawling from generation for greater efficiency, grounds tasks in the site graph to enforce compositionality, and ensures dense supervision through deterministic replays and systematic validation. We instantiate the pipeline on over 50 websites covering e-commerce, government, forums, and news, with multilingual and multi-hop coverage. The resulting benchmark reveals a significant human–agent performance gap and enables detailed diagnostics. Our contributions are three-fold: (i) formalizing multi-hop web-agent task generation, (ii) proposing an efficient and validated pipeline for automatic data creation, and (iii) releasing a dynamic benchmark with reproducible evaluation.
