MANUS, Ai “Agentic” platform that was launched in the inspection last week, generates a stir more than Taylor Swift.
The head of the product in the embraced face Manus called “The most impressive artificial intelligence tool I have ever tried.” Artificial Intelligence Policy Researcher Ball Described Manus as the “most advanced computer with artificial intelligence”. the The official dispute For Manus, it grew to more than 138,000 members in just a few days, and a call for symbols It is said Thousands of dollars selling on the application of the Chinese distributor Xianyu.
But it is not clear that the noise is justified.

Manus has not been fully developed from scratch. According to reports On social media, the platform uses a mixture of current and self -made artificial intelligence, including Claude from Claude and Alibaba, to perform tasks such as formulating research reports and financial deposit analysis.
However, on its website, the impact of the butterfly – the Chinese company behind Manos – offers some land examples of what the platform can accomplish, From buying real estate to programming video games.
in Virus video On X, Yichao “Peak” Ji, a research in Manus, notes that the platform was superior to delegate tools such as Openai Deep Research and its operator. Manus is outperforming the deep performance about a popular standard for artificial artificial intelligence assistants called Gaia, as Ji, who benefits from the ability of artificial intelligence to carry out work by browsing the web, using programs, and more.
“[Manus] “It is not just a chatbot or another workflow.” It’s a completely independent factor that blocks the gap between pregnancy and implementation […] We see that the following model for cooperation between man and machine. “
But some of the first users say Manus is not the healing medicine.
Alexander Doria, co -founder of Ai Startup Pleias, He said in a post on x He faced error messages and endless episodes during the Manus test. Other users x He pointed out that Manus makes mistakes on realistic questions and Do not constantly cite her work – And It often lacks information that can be found easily online.
Deep search has ended in less than 15 minutes. Unfortunately, Manus AI failed 50 minutes later in step 18/20! 😑 It was very well I was watching Manus as a result and it seemed excellent. However, running the same router for the second time is somewhat frustrating because it takes a long time! https://t.co/bgtmoi65cp

My own experience with Manus was not incredibly positive.
I asked the platform to deal with what seemed to me as if it was somewhat direct request: Ask a fried chicken sandwich from the fast food joint with my highest delivery range. After about ten minutes, Manus crashed. In the second attempt, I found a list of a list that fulfilled my criteria, but Manus was unable to complete the order – or even provide the exit link.
Manus took the same when I asked for this to reserve a trip from New York City to Japan. Looking at the instructions that I believed did not leave a big area of mystery (for example, “Look for a business category, and set priorities for price and flexible dates”), the best that he could do was to provide bonds on prices through many flights and search engines for flights such as Kayak, some of which were broken.
Hoping that the next few tasks will be magic, Manus told Booking a table for one in a restaurant close to. Fail after a few minutes. Then I asked the platform to build a fighting game inspired by Naruto. I made a mistake for half an hour, which is when I decided to throw the towel.
The sincere opinion after the experience of Manus AI over the past three days, here is good and bad.
good:
– The search it does on the Internet and the reports that it creates incredible.
– Its ability to run the scenes behind the scenes to carry out tasks is impressive.
– Its plans …– Ashutoshshrivastava (@AII_for_sucss) March 9, 2025
A spokesman for Manus Techcrunch the following statement via DM:
As a small team, our focus is on continuing to improve manus and make artificial intelligence agents […] The main goal of the current closed beta is to test different parts of the system and identify problems. We are deeply appreciated by the valuable ideas that everyone shares. “
So, if the manuscripts lack their artistic promises, then why did they explode? Some factors, such as the uniqueness that a The scarcity of invitations.
The Chinese media was quick to promote Manos as Amnesty International. He invited it to publish QQ news “Pride of local products.” Meanwhile, the influencers of artificial intelligence on social media are publishing misleading information about Manus’s capabilities. A Wide joint video The desktop, Manus, outwardly, and take action via multiple smartphone applications. J. confirmed The video was, in fact, a show of Manus.
last influential Amnesty International Accounts In X he sought to draw comparisons between Manus and Chinese Deepseek AI – the comparisons are not necessarily rooted in reality. The butterfly effect did not develop any internal models, unlike Deepseek. Although Deepseek made many of its techniques openly available, Monica was not – At least not yet.
In order to be fair to the effect of the butterfly, Manus is very early. The company claims that it is working to expand the range of computing capacity and repair problems when reporting. But with the existence of the platform currently, Manus appears to be a state of noise that progresses on technological innovation.
It was updated 6:02 pm Pacific: He added a statement from a Manus spokesman and corrected the wrong identification of the company behind Manus.
