📰 ArXiv cs.AI
Learn to evaluate conversational AI models beyond explicit user requests with ProactBench, a new benchmark for conversational proactivity
Action Steps
- Define conversational proactivity and its importance in human-computer interaction
- Identify the three phase-tied types of conversational proactivity in ProactBench: Emergent, Critical, and Recovery
- Evaluate a conversational AI model using ProactBench to assess its ability to infer implied user needs
- Analyze the results to identify areas for improvement in the model's conversational proactivity
- Implement changes to the model to enhance its conversational proactivity based on the evaluation results
Who Needs to Know This

Title: ProactBench: Beyond What The User Asked For
Abstract:
arXiv:2605.09228v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Most LLM benchmarks score how well a model responds to explicit requests. They leave unmeasured a different conversational ability: noticing and acting on needs the user has implied but not said. We call this \emph{conversational proactivity}. ProactBench decomposes it into three phase-tied types: \textsc{Emergent}, inference from a single disclosed anchor; \textsc{Critical}, synthesis across multiple anchors; and \textsc{Recovery}, grounded forw
