Manus
General-purpose autonomous AI agent that plans and executes multi-step tasks
Manus takes a plain-language goal — research a market, build a spreadsheet, put together a slide deck — and works through it autonomously across a virtual computer, browsing, writing code and producing a finished file rather than a chat reply. It is a fit for one-off research and drafting tasks a person would otherwise spend an afternoon on.
