USA You can have the most popular AI products, but China It is being configured as an important actor in the development of generative artificial intelligences. Last January, Deepseek He shook the market and economy of the great technological, in particular the hardware manufacturer for the NVIDIA, with the launch of his app and a new language model that was as capable as those of OpenAI either Google in certain areas, but developed at a much smaller cost than that of its US competitors. The last AI in causing sensation also comes from China and was launched last Friday. Although it has been subject to numerous praises, it also awakens some doubts.
Manus is not just a chatbot who, according to Manus aiexceeds OpenAi and Deepseek models in comparative evaluations, but An AI agent. This is, An artificial intelligence that can perform certain tasks by itself and without the need to be guided by the user. The agent does not need to expect instructions to act, but can make decisions proactively and complete tasks autonomously.
It is not the first product that explores this concept. OpenAi has been offering for a few months, only in the United States, Operator. This is also an AI agent, capable of Use the browser and perform actions such as writing, clicking or traveling when navigating the pages. But it is available only in Preview, at a prohibitive price for most users (the Pro subscription has a cost of $ 200 per month), it is not as independent as Manus and needs a greater human interaction to reach results.
Use cases of the first totally autonomous AFFEE
That is what promises Yichao ‘Peak’ Jico -founder of Manus AI, in the presentation video that has raised all this dust: an AI that not only gives you answers, but also ‘results’. JI exposes three cases of use in which Manus’s capabilities are seen, which he qualifies as the first totally autonomous AI agent in the world.

In the first, he is given A .ZIP file with ten curriculums And help is asked to make a selection. Manus, what shows everything he does in his own computer in an adjacent windowdecompress the file, check the CV, create candidate profiles, provide classification suggestions and evaluation criteria and, finally, a spreadsheet with all the information.
In the second, with the task of Find an user apartment in New YorkManus carries out an investigation in which he evaluates various factors (Criminality, climate rates, market trends, nearby schools and others), write a program in Python To calculate the user’s budget and, finally, combine all the information to provide a detailed report. Now, All this does not do it following the steps indicated by the user, which has only asked him to find a home, but is Manus initiative.
In the last example, the AI must perform A correlation analysis between the prices that have had the actions of Nvidia, MRLV and TSM during the last three years. AI accesses sources of authority using APISvalidate the data and write again code to perform the analysis and display of the data. Once the analysis is completed, you are asked to Make a web page with this data, a task that even houses the web on a server (with user approval) and sharing a link for visualization.
Manus architecture
In short, this assistant not only attends the user, but also has the capacity, to some extent, of replace it in many tasks in the digital environment. According to the company, Manus uses a Multi agent architecture which operates as a boss who directs a team of specialized subagents. When he receives a task, he divides it among several manageable components, he assigns them to the appropriate agents and monitors their progress. This structure allows you to address complex workflows that previously required several AI tools.
Manus’s computing is done In the cloud And the user can close their laptop while performing without losing anything. When the work is finished, you will receive a notification.
Availability of manus and user impressions
Manus is in the phase of Beta closed which is only possible to access through an invitation that is requested on its website. The fever for this AI has caused them to be resolved in second -hand markets for prices that reach the 6,000 euros.
And while astonishing users with their abilities, others highlight their problems, such as It works slowly, probably due to high demandits APIS dependence, presents error messages, makes errors in questions about facts and data, and also omits information available on the Internet. Not to mention that it is a Chinese AI and, therefore, as a socialist ideology, as required by law in China, and whose data can access the Xi Jinping government whenever you want.
