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.
No-code automation for sales prospecting and data extraction
A large library of prebuilt automations for LinkedIn, Sales Navigator, Instagram, X/Twitter, Facebook, Google Maps, websites and more.
Chain multiple Phantoms together so the output of one step becomes the input of the next, building end-to-end pipelines without code.
Runs on managed cloud browsers, so jobs continue 24/7 without keeping a local machine switched on.
Send results to Google Sheets, CSV, webhooks, Zapier, Make, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Salesforce and other tools.
Provides powerful reasoning agents and deep research, but lacks Manus's specialized continuous cloud workspace execution.
