Autonomous AI Agent for Smart Tasks

Introducing Manus: Your Autonomous AI Assistant

Manus is an autonomous AI agent developed by Butterfly Effect Pte. Ltd., based in Singapore. Launched in March 2025, this AI system is capable of carrying out real-world tasks—such as research, coding, content generation, and analysis—without direct ongoing human guidance, a leap beyond traditional AI chat interfaces.

What Sets Manus Apart

At its core, Manus isn’t just another AI chatbot—it functions like a virtual assistant with agency. It autonomously plans, breaks down prompts into actionable tasks, executes them via its own computing environment, and delivers complete results. Users can manage multiple workflows, automate their work, or even step away while Manus completes tasks.

Real-World Reactions & Use Cases

The AI community has responded with both enthusiasm and astonishment. Industry leaders across startups and tech giants have described Manus as an “AI employee” or even “deep research + operator + computer”, capable of performing tasks in minutes that would otherwise take hours or days. Some users report increased productivity, especially in areas like social media automation and business planning.

Why It Matters

• From Prompt to Execution: Manus moves beyond generating text by actually doing the work—whether it’s building slide decks, coding experiments, or analyzing data sets.

• Built for Real Productivity: Its tool-aware and multi-modal design lets it interface with other software and systems—eliminating manual steps, reducing friction, and streamlining workflows.

• Nonprofit-Driven Standards: Supported by a community of fellow innovators and developers, Manus’s component is refined in the Fellows program, promoting responsible adoption of agentic AI.
