China AI Agent Manus is an autonomous artificial intelligence agent developed by Singapore-based startup Monica that represents a breakthrough in general AI capabilities. Manus is designed to independently carry out complex online tasks without direct or continuous human guidance, distinguishing it from traditional AI chatbots that require constant prompting. The system excels at various tasks in work and life, getting everything done while you rest, handling activities like resume sorting, stock analysis, and real estate research with minimal human intervention. Manus operates as a completely autonomous agent that represents the next paradigm of human-machine collaboration and potentially a glimpse into AGI. The launch has kick-started an AI agent boom in China, with the technology gaining international attention for its ability to write and deploy code, make independent decisions, and execute complex workflows. The agent operates in cloud environments and has been positioned as China’s answer to advancing autonomous AI capabilities in the global technology landscape.
