Manus is a general-purpose AI agent that plans and executes multi-step tasks to deliver complete work products — such as websites, slide decks, images, research reports, and music — rather than just chat-style text replies. The company describes its mission as building "general AI agents as the Action Engine for life," stating it wants to "extend human reach by giving everyone the code to leverage their life."
From a single prompt, Manus can generate full-stack web apps and websites (including database, authentication, and payment integration); presentation slide decks built on a Nano Banana Pro model tuned for legible, multilingual text and more accurate charts than general-purpose image models typically produce; images and design assets on an interactive canvas that can browse websites, watch videos, and analyze documents to inform the design before creating it; and original, royalty-free music with matching artwork, refined through conversation. It can also operate a real browser to complete multi-step tasks using the user's own logged-in sessions, and for research-heavy work it can break a request into up to hundreds of parallel sub-tasks handled by separate sub-agents, then combine the results into a single report — a capability the company calls "Wide Research," which its own pages describe as avoiding the "context window saturation" that causes traditional AI tools to produce briefer, more generic output as a batch grows.
Manus is also available as a downloadable desktop app, a Slack integration, and an email-based interface ("Mail Manus"). As of this writing, the company's website states that "Manus will soon resume operating as an independent company."
Generates a full-stack website or web app from a single prompt, with Manus setting up the code, database, authentication, and interface, plus built-in integrations for payments (Stripe), Shopify, maps, image generation, and file storage.
Parallel multi-agent orchestration that breaks one request into up to hundreds of independent sub-tasks, each run by its own sub-agent with fresh context, then synthesizes the results into a single report — built to avoid the "context window saturation" the company says causes traditional AI tools to produce briefer, more generic output as a batch grows.
A browser extension that lets Manus plan, navigate, click, and execute multi-step tasks directly inside the user's own logged-in browser session, using existing tabs and sessions rather than separate credentials.
An interactive canvas for generating and editing images, videos, and 3D models from text. Users can click any object to change colors, swap backgrounds, or reshape elements, and add editable text overlays — and the tool can browse websites, watch videos, and analyze documents to gather insights before designing.
Generates editable presentation decks (exportable as PPTX, PDF, or Google Slides) from a description of the topic, audience, and key messages, built on a Nano Banana Pro model tuned for crisp, legible multilingual text and more accurate charts and infographics, while keeping the likeness of key people consistent across slides.
Generates images from a text description across multiple styles (digital art, realistic, anime, 3D render, and more), licensed for commercial use, and can insert the generated images directly into the presentations, reports, or websites Manus builds in the same workflow.
Generates original, royalty-free music from a description of mood and style, refined through conversation (tempo, instruments, arrangement), alongside matching album artwork and music videos in the same workspace.
Lets users assign tasks to Manus by sending an email or directly from Slack, without opening the web app.
Manus is used by describing a goal in plain language rather than configuring a workflow manually. For its AI Website Builder, the company describes a three-step process:
For browser-based tasks, users enable the Manus Browser Operator (a browser extension) from the Manus connector tab, grant it access, and give it a multi-step goal; Manus then plans, navigates, clicks, and executes the task inside the user's own browser session, using existing logins and open tabs. For large research tasks, a main agent breaks a single request into many independent sub-tasks, each handled by its own sub-agent, and synthesizes a final report automatically.
Manus can be accessed through its web app, a downloadable desktop app, a Slack integration, or by emailing tasks to it via Mail Manus.
