OpenAI has introduced LifeVal, a new benchmark designed to measure how effectively artificial intelligence systems help people complete everyday tasks.

The benchmark covers practical activities such as finding childcare, managing personal finances and handling government paperwork, according to an announcement published on the OpenAI blog.

LifeVal is intended to evaluate AI performance in real-world assistance scenarios, rather than focusing solely on traditional academic or technical tests. The announcement did not provide additional details about the benchmark’s methodology or results.
