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.
An always-on AI agent that runs on its own computer and finishes tasks end-to-end
Each agent runs on a persistent machine that stays online 24/7, so long tasks continue while you are away.
Ready-made tasks for branded slide decks, market research, video generation, and document writing reduce setup time.
Set up watchers for uptime, pricing, inventory, or campaign metrics and let the agent alert you and execute the next step.
Agents open apps, browse the web, run code, and assemble results into deliverables such as PPTX, Word, and HTML reports.
Provides powerful reasoning agents and deep research, but lacks Manus's specialized continuous cloud workspace execution.
