 <b>UFO</b> <img src="./assets/ufo_blue.png" alt="UFO Image" width="24"> operates as a multi-agent framework, encompassing:
 - <b>HostAgent 🤖</b>, tasked with choosing an application for fulfilling user requests. This agent may also switch to a different application when a request spans multiple applications, and the task is partially completed in the preceding application. 
 - <b>AppAgent 👾</b>, responsible for iteratively executing actions on the selected applications until the task is successfully concluded within a specific application.
