Manus 2.0 is a general-purpose AI agent integrated with multiple products, including chatbots, video editors, and game development platforms. A key feature is its ability to process tasks quickly with low token counts.
In terms of functionality, while previous versions could only begin work at pre-set times, the new version can be triggered by events occurring within connected services. Additionally, existing desktop applications have been upgraded to "Manus Studio," which allows for the collective handling of documents, spreadsheets, PDFs, slides, and more. Furthermore, dedicated platforms have been introduced, such as "Video Editor" for specialized video production and "Game Dev" for game development.
The following services are also being provided:
- Cue: A personal AI agent app. It can send messages, handle payments within user-defined budgets, and execute tasks on dedicated machines.
- Cloud Computer: A purchasable option for users who want to keep their AI agents running 24/7.
- Remote Desktop App: A tool for accessing one's own PC from a smartphone.
Manus 2.0 is available on Web, Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android. Cue is available on Web, Android, and Mac.
