Briefings

RunningTab is a framework that enables LLM agents to interact with files in a workspace by maintaining an environment-side tab. This tab records every file read, its provenance, and unopened files, allowing agents to see requirements alongside matching content and unopened candidates. Validation on three benchmarks with three LLMs showed RunningTab consistently outperforms plain direct workspace interaction and baselines that store records only in the model.

Key points

• RunningTab introduces an environment-side tab that persists per-task records of file reads, provenance, and unopened files alongside the agent.
• The framework validates on three benchmarks with three LLMs, consistently outperforming plain direct workspace interaction and baselines that keep records solely in the model.

Context

Knowledge work often produces deliverables from existing files, prompting LLM agents to use direct workspace interaction (DWI). However, DWI lacks tracking for what was read, what was listed but not opened, and what was extracted, causing deliverables to miss required data. RunningTab addresses this by providing an environment-side tab to maintain context across tasks.

Limitations

Validation was conducted on three specific benchmarks with three different LLMs. Results are limited to these controlled conditions and do not represent generalizability across diverse environments or long-term performance without further testing.
