Manus AI

Preview

Manus AI, introduced by Monica.im (Butterfly Effect AI) in March 2025, represents a new generation of intelligent assistants – fully autonomous AI agents. The name Manus (Latin for hand) symbolizes its ability to act independently, transforming high-level user goals into completed online tasks. Unlike traditional chatbots, Manus AI is capable of complex multi-stage activities, including planning, interacting with web services and tools, and adapting to changes. A key feature of Manus is its architecture, often utilizing multiple agents (planner, executor, verifier) operating in dedicated virtual machines. This ensures security and allows users to observe its actions in real-time – how it browses web pages or analyzes data, which is crucial for trust. Manus AI is multimodal, processing text (reports, content), code (programming automation), and images (analysis). Its tool invocation capability allows it to manage external applications: web browsers for information gathering, code editors, DBMS, and APIs. Examples of Manus AI tasks include: comprehensive internet research with structured report generation; travel planning: from tickets and hotels to itineraries based on preferences; writing, testing, and deploying software code; analyzing large datasets, identifying trends, and generating visualizations; automating business processes, such as order processing or managing inquiries. Manus AI is positioned as a tool that radically increases the productivity of individual users and companies by taking on complex tasks previously requiring significant human involvement. Its launch generated great interest and is considered an important step towards creating more versatile and autonomous AI systems capable of acting as true digital employees.
