Manus

What Is Manus

Manus is a general-purpose autonomous AI agent that turns user intent into action. Unlike traditional assistants that only respond with suggestions, Manus plans and executes tasks on behalf of the user using tool integrations and independent operation to complete multi-step workflows on its own.

The name Manus comes from the Latin word for “hand,” representing its goal of being the actionable extension of human ideas.
