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.
