Product overview
What is Manus AI?
Manus is a general-purpose AI action engine designed to complete tasks rather than only answer questions. A user describes an outcome and the agent can plan multiple steps, work with online information and tools, create artifacts, and return a deliverable. The current product surface includes website, slide, design, image, music, and game creation as well as browser operation and Wide Research.
Access is available through web, desktop, and mobile experiences, with additional entry points through email, Slack, and an API. Because Manus can browse, create files, and take actions, users should scope permissions carefully, avoid exposing unnecessary credentials, and review sources, calculations, code, transactions, and outbound communications.
