​What is Manus?

​Manus is the world’s first general AI agent designed to turn your thoughts into action. More than just a chatbot, Manus autonomously executes complex tasks across your professional and personal life – whether it’s conducting deep market research, processing batches of files, planning custom travel, or analyzing data.

​It thinks independently, plans strategically, and leverages tools within its own environment – coding, browsing the web, controlling applications – to deliver complete outcomes, not just recommendations.

​You can hand off tasks to Manus, track progress in real time, and return to find the results ready – so you can focus on what truly matters.

​Why Manus?

​The name “Manus” is inspired by MIT’s motto Mens et Manus – “Mind and Hand.” It reflects the belief that knowledge must be applied to create real-world impact.

​That’s the promise of Manus AI: to extend your capabilities, amplify your output, and serve as the intelligent hand that brings your ideas to life.
