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.
