A general-purpose AI agent that executes tasks, not just answers them
Give the agent a goal and it plans the steps, chooses tools, and works through the task in a cloud environment without constant supervision.
Produces finished artifacts such as slide decks, functional websites, small games, and formatted documents rather than raw text.
Runs broad, multi-source investigations and compiles the findings into a structured report.
Generates images, video, and music as part of a larger task or as standalone outputs.
Serverless cloud infrastructure for AI and data workloads
Write plain Python, attach GPUs or containers, and deploy HTTPS endpoints that autoscale with traffic and scale to zero when idle.
Launch isolated, secure environments for coding agents, RL rollouts, and untrusted code, with sub-second starts and support for over a million concurrent sandboxes.
Run fine-tunes, LoRA, full training, and reinforcement learning on elastic single or multi-node GPU capacity with no quota requests.
Serve LLMs and image, video, or audio models through OpenAI-compatible endpoints, or bring your own inference stack and let Modal handle the infrastructure.
Provides powerful reasoning agents and deep research, but lacks Manus's specialized continuous cloud workspace execution.

Executes tasks using cloud virtual Linux machines, but focuses more on personal desktop automation than complex multi-app research.
Free / Open-sourceProvides open-source personal task automation, but lacks the polished cloud sandbox environment of Manus.
