Manus
Manus is a new AI agent from China that’s been making waves in the tech world. It is designed to handle complex tasks all by itself, with the idea to bridge the gap between thinking and doing.
The platform can handle all kinds of tasks in work and life, “getting everything done while you rest” — as it says. In fact, Manus’ homepage features some of the most popular use cases, giving you an idea of what you can expect from it.
For instance, it can handle all the planning related to one’s travels, deeply analyze stocks, prepare interactive courses, or perform a comparative analysis of insurance policies. In addition, it can help with B2B supplier sourcing, research on different products for various industries, and analyze online store operations — all with little to no human intervention. In a way, it’s like having a dedicated employee doing all the work for you — at a fraction of the cost.
Lastly, we’ll mention that Manus has achieved new state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance across all three difficulty levels in GAIA benchmark — which is used for evaluating General AI Assistants on solving real-world problems. Impressive.
Now the question is – do you need an AI assistant of your own? Check it out.
