Overview

Manus is a general-purpose AI agent designed to move beyond conversational answers. From a single instruction, it can plan a sequence of actions, browse the web, process files, create documents, and use tools inside an isolated environment.

The service is available on the web and through desktop and mobile apps. An API can also trigger tasks from products or workflows. Usage depends on task complexity, and sensitive actions should remain under human review.
