OpenAI publishes LifeVal evaluation of AI personal-agent tasks in everyday life

On 2 November 2026 OpenAI published LifeVal, its own evaluation of practical AI-assistant and personal-agent workflows across caregiving, education, household administration, shopping, finances and government access. OpenAI says task selection was informed by international time-use research and a survey of 3,995 respondents. Published example task percentages are publisher-evaluated outcomes, not independent field success rates, and they are not directly comparable to SemiAnalysis GDPx professional agent tasks.
