Leave It to Manus: AI That Works Like a Teammate
In an era dominated by reactive AI tools, Manus AI introduces a different paradigm—an agentic operating system where your goals don’t just generate outputs, they trigger intelligent execution. This isn't just an assistant that drafts an email or summarizes text. Manus acts like a full-stack operator: researching, deciding, iterating, and producing results across complex, multi-step tasks.
Inspired by the Latin word for “hand,” Manus bridges your intent and action.

What Makes Manus Different?
Manus AI - The General AI Agent Video
While most AI systems act like suggestion engines, Manus takes autonomy seriously. It’s not just about answers—it’s about outcomes.
🧠 Thinks Like a Researcher
Manus leverages structured knowledge and web data to tackle tasks that require strategic reasoning. For example, it can answer investment-grade queries like:
“Do digital health startups with a clinician in leadership perform better in M&A and exit outcomes over the last 10–15 years?”
The result? A full 8-page report, complete with historical data, insights, and charts.
⚙️ Acts Like a Builder
Manus doesn’t just brainstorm ideas—it builds. From interactive web apps to data visualizations, Manus can turn prompts into functional prototypes without requiring a single line of code from the user.
- Build FastAPI courses
- Generate Anki decks from lecture notes
- Create visual maps of historical battles
- Design interactive space exploration websites
The agent executes, iterates, and refines like a developer.
📊 Analyzes Like a Consultant
Upload your Amazon sales CSV, and Manus delivers a dashboard of insights with actionable recommendations. It can also perform comparative analysis of insurance plans, source B2B suppliers, or generate sustainability KPI mockups for enterprise use.
Use Cases: Where Manus Excels
Manus isn’t confined to any one industry. Whether you're a solo founder, educator, analyst, or government researcher, it slots directly into your workflow:
- Education: Creates interactive STEM lessons (e.g., momentum theorem explained with animations).
- Travel: Crafts personal handbooks for trips, including full itineraries.
- eCommerce: Analyzes store data and optimizes listings.
- Research: Extracts insights from YC databases, policy documents, and scientific papers.
Each task with Manus is saved as a replayable agentic session, allowing users to revisit, refine, or extend previous work—transforming single-use prompts into continuous, evolving workflows.
Voices from the Field
“It thinks like a human, acts like a machine, and adjusts strategies mid-task. It’s reading my mind.”
— Syed Husnain Haider, AI Consultant
“This is the best agentic research output I’ve seen so far.”
— Dr. Jonathan Slotkin, Neurosurgeon & VC
“I built my first app with it—zero code. A time zone scheduler that my team now uses every day.”
— Carlos Romo, Product Builder
“It gave us a working UI mockup for our sustainability tool in 30 minutes.”
— Jessica Santos, Professor
The feedback is unanimous: Manus is a productivity revolution.
Plans & Pricing
Manus offers flexible pricing tiers based on usage credits and parallel tasking capabilities:
| Plan | Monthly Credits | Concurrency | Highlights |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | 1,900 | 2 tasks | Core agent abilities |
| Plus | 3,900 | 2 tasks | Extended context, stability |
| Pro | 19,900 | 5 tasks | Access to high-effort mode, beta features |
All subscription tiers come with priority access to computing resources during peak demand and extended context capabilities, allowing Manus to handle longer, more complex tasks with greater consistency and depth—ideal for users working with detailed, multi-step instructions or long-form content.
Benchmarks: GAIA Performance
Manus has achieved state-of-the-art results across all three levels of the GAIA (General AI Assistant) benchmark. This test suite measures how well AI agents perform on complex, open-ended tasks that simulate real-world challenges—demanding not just correct answers, but structured reasoning, strategic decision-making, and adaptive problem-solving.
The results position Manus as a top-tier contender in the emerging landscape of general-purpose AI agents.
Want In Early? Join the Manus Fellows Program
For those ready to push the limits of general AI, Manus offers a Fellows Program—an initiative gathering engineers, researchers, and creators to co-develop new agentic workflows across cities like Sydney and Melbourne.
We’re witnessing the transition from prompt-to-output to intent-to-outcome. Manus isn’t just another AI tool—it’s an operating layer for modern cognition.
If you’re building, researching, or scaling anything that requires multi-step thinking, you might want to stop prompting—and start delegating.
