Manus

// about Manus

Manus is a general-purpose AI agent from the Chinese startup Monica that autonomously executes multi-step tasks — web research, data analysis, code writing, file management — without requiring the user to break them down. It operates in a sandboxed cloud environment with access to a browser, code interpreter, and file system, allowing it to independently plan and complete tasks that would take humans hours. Its launch in early 2025 generated significant attention as one of the first widely available autonomous agents capable of real-world task completion.
