About Manus

Manus is a general-purpose AI agent aimed at completing tasks rather than only answering questions. A user describes a goal, and the agent works through the steps itself, covering research, coding and web work, and producing outputs such as slides, websites, games, videos and designs.

The product's listed capabilities include a web app, AI slides, game development, image, music and video generation, a video editor, a browser operator, Wide Research for broad information gathering, email handling and a Slack integration. Manus is offered on the web and through mobile and desktop apps, a Team plan with SSO, and an API, and its site compares it with ChatGPT, Lovable and Replit.

Manus is a hosted, proprietary service with no self-hosted option. It suits individuals, startups and teams who want to delegate multi-step work to an agent, with pricing published on the vendor's website.
