Manus
Manus is a general-purpose AI agent that autonomously plans and executes complex, multi-step tasks from start to finish within a cloud-based virtual computer.
Manus is a general-purpose AI agent designed to help knowledge workers complete complex, multi-step tasks by combining intelligence, context, and execution. It operates within a cloud-hosted virtual computer, capable of browsing live websites, writing and running code, editing files, and generating deliverables like reports, spreadsheets, and web applications. The latest 1.6 release, introduced in early 2026, brought a faster Chat Mode, 'Wide Research' for parallel sub-agent execution, and tiered model access through Manus 1.6 Lite, 1.6, and 1.6 Max, expanding its capabilities from research and data analysis to an all-purpose builder.
Manus is experiencing a declining market position due to recent acquisition revocation and service disruptions, reflected in very poor Trustpilot and G2 ratings. While its autonomous agent capabilities are innovative, the current instability and negative user feedback significantly impact its score.
