Manus 2.0 expands the general-purpose agent into a platform for creating and operating software. Manus Studio now includes video-editing and game-development environments where users can manually adjust generated results, while dedicated cloud computers can keep multiplayer game servers running.
Automations can start when events occur, including an incoming email or Slack message. A Computer Use feature works with approved files and applications on the user’s machine and can be directed remotely from a phone. In one tested configuration, the new Cascade agent harness used 23.2% fewer tokens and cost 32% less than the previous system.
A separate app called Cue gives each personal agent an email address, wallet and computer. Manus 2.0 is available now; Cue is in free, invitation-based early access. Giving agents persistent accounts and event triggers can make them useful without constant prompting, but it also increases the consequences of mistaken actions. Users need narrow permissions and visibility into what an agent can send, spend or change.
