Summary

A graph compresses prior trajectories into reusable intent-level nodes that can merge, extend and transfer across mobile tasks.

Single actions are too fine-grained to capture meaningful progress, while whole trajectories are often too specific to reuse. The proposed memory graph groups consecutive actions with one intent into subgoal nodes, then merges related experience and retrieves it from the current observation. On SPA-Bench, the method improved task success by 11.11 percent over the reported baseline. The result supports subgoal-level reuse in that mobile-interface benchmark, not universal memory transfer across applications.
