Freemium · $20/moGeneral-purpose AI agent that works in its own cloud computer
What is Manus?
Manus is an autonomous AI agent that takes a goal, plans the steps and carries them out in a cloud virtual machine with a browser, terminal and files. People use it for research reports, spreadsheets, slide decks and small web apps.
In Agent Mode, Manus browses websites, runs code and writes files, then hands back a finished deliverable you can download or share. Tasks keep running in the cloud after you close the app, and scheduled tasks repeat work on a timetable.
Connectors give it access to Gmail, Google Calendar and other accounts, and a desktop mode can work with files on your own computer after you approve each path. Usage is billed in credits.
