Manus AI 'Can Think And Work Independently': Built By Secretive Chinese Tech Firm
The world was taken by surprise when the Chinese tech company Monica unveiled an artificial intelligence named Manus that possesses the ability to think and act independently, establishing itself as the world's first autonomous AI. Within just 20 hours of its launch, Manus AI garnered widespread attention globally.
Another Milestone in the AI Race
Following the groundbreaking invention of AI startup Deepseek, China has reached another significant milestone in the AI competition with the introduction of Manus AI. This new AI, launched by a Chinese tech firm, claims to have the capability to "think and act independently," marking it as the world's premier autonomous AI agent. Currently, Manus is exclusively available as a web preview through invitation only.
The unique feature of Manus AI that sets it apart is its proficiency in handling complex real-world issues. A demo video showcasing its capabilities was released on its official website, manus.im. Surprisingly, the AI agent gained viral popularity less than 20 hours after its debut.
Features and Functionality of Manus AI
Developed by a covert team and backed by Chinese investors, Manus AI demonstrates remarkable abilities in executing intricate tasks such as planning specific trips and constructing websites step by step, which includes analyzing Tesla's stocks. Serving as an assistant robot, Manus not only offers advice but also accomplishes tasks by browsing the web and gathering necessary information. The step-by-step work process of this AI tool is transparent and easily comprehensible.
According to a report by the South China Morning Post, a demo video shared on X (formerly Twitter) amassed over 200,000 views within a day, accompanied by numerous requests for access. The Manus team contends that their AI surpasses open AI's Deep Research AI in the GAIA test, likened to an AI report card. While the inner workings of Manus AI remain undisclosed, many are hailing it as a glimpse into the future of AI technology.
Key features of Manus include autonomous functioning and asynchronous cloud-based operations, enabling users to assign tasks and detach the AI from the device. As claimed by the developers, Manus operates in the cloud and delivers results post task completion, even when disconnected from devices.
User Excitement and Accessibility
With Manus AI quickly gaining viral status within a mere 20 hours of its launch, many users sought access codes to the AI agent. The earlier release of Deepseek AI's model, Deepseek R1, had elicited a similar level of enthusiasm among users.
