Chinese Startup Unveils Manus AI
A Chinese startup named Monica has unveiled an AI model named Manus AI. The launch of this AI has been generating a lot of buzz in the tech world. Some are even regarding this as the next DeepSeek.
Manus AI is being hailed for its ability to autonomously tackle complex tasks, with some even comparing it to the most advanced general purpose AI systems from companies like OpenAI and Google.
Looking Closer
Manus AI isn't just another chatbot. It is designed to handle tasks independently, from start to finish. Once given a prompt, Manus AI takes over. It performs everything from research and writing to generating charts and compiling final reports. This level of autonomy sets it apart from other AI systems that require more active user input.
Unlike typical AI assistants, Manus operates autonomously even when users disconnect. Its cloud-based design allows it to continue processing tasks and notify users once the work is completed. The system can even take screenshots, record browsing activities, and generate files like PDFs and spreadsheets on its own.
Future Outlook
While Manus offers impressive capabilities, it’s not the first to venture into autonomous task execution. Tools from other companies, like OpenAI’s DeepSearch, offer similar features. However, Manus has quickly gained attention due to its ability to interact with the web and execute tasks without human intervention. Early reviews have described it as one of the most capable AI systems to date.
Despite its promise, Manus is still in the early stages. Currently available as an invitation-only web preview, the system is expected to roll out more widely in the coming months, with plans for an open-source release in the future.
