Anticipate and Learn: Unleashing Idle-Time Compute in Proactive Agents

arXiv CS.CL

ArXi:2605.25971v1 Announce Type: new While AI agents nstrate remarkable capabilities in reasoning and tool use, they remain fundamentally reactive: they compute responses only after explicit user prompts. This paradigm ignores a critical opportunity: the idle time between interactions is largely wasted, leaving agents unable to prepare for future user needs. To bridge this gap, we
