AutomationBench
1 phaseActive
Business workflow automation benchmark testing AI agents on multi-step, cross-system process automation. Metric: % task success.
Overview
AutomationBench
Quick answer: AutomationBench tests AI agents on real business workflow automation tasks — multi-step processes that span multiple applications or systems, similar to what a robotic process automation (RPA) tool or business ops team would handle. Kimi K3 scores 30.8% as of July 2026, reflecting the difficulty of cross-system business automation.
At a Glance
What it tests: An agent's ability to automate multi-step business processes across different applications and systems, completing them reliably end-to-end.
Why it matters: Business process automation is a major commercial use case for AI agents. AutomationBench's low current scores (30.8% for a frontier model like Kimi K3) highlight how much headroom remains for reliable enterprise automation.
Known limitations: As an emerging benchmark, exact task composition and business-process templates are not yet independently published outside its citation by Moonshot AI.
What AutomationBench Measures
AutomationBench evaluates an agent's ability to automate realistic business workflows that span multiple systems or applications — for example, extracting data from one tool, transforming it, and populating another. Tasks emphasize reliability and correctness across the full multi-step process rather than any single isolated step, making the benchmark a useful proxy for real enterprise-automation readiness.
