🌲 Manus AI & Friends: Sunday Hike in SF
​At Manus (http://manus.ai/), we build General AI Agents to take the busywork off your plate—so your hands are free to create, explore, and live more intentionally.
​But sometimes, the best way to understand what freedom feels like is to step away from the screen and back into the world.
​Nature doesn't need an interface. It simply exists—wild, unfiltered, and real. And when we’re out there, walking beneath trees and feeling the earth beneath our feet, we’re reminded of why we build: to make space for the parts of life that matter most.
​Free Your Hands is more than a theme. It’s an invitation to trade keyboards for hiking boots, click fatigue for wind in your hair, and rigid workflows for free-flowing conversations. It’s about giving your hands back to you—for making music, mixing cocktails, climbing rocks, brewing coffee, or simply being still.

​About Manus
​Manus is the world's first general AI agent that turns your thoughts into action. It executes tasks for you—both in your professional and personal life. Whether you need in-depth market research, batch file processing, custom travel planning, or data analysis, Manus can independently think and systematically plan, flexibly leveraging various tools in its own environment—coding, web navigation, and application control—to deliver complete results, not just suggestions.
