I Tried Manus AI — The "Do-Everything" Agent Everyone's Talking About

What if AI didn’t just chat—but actually opened your browser, wrote your report, designed your logo, and sent the email… all by itself?

That’s the bold promise of Manus AI—and I had to try it.

I recently discovered Manus, an ambitious autonomous AI agent launched in March 2025. Unlike typical bots that only chat, Manus can plan and execute multi-step tasks: it reads websites, writes code, simulates environments, designs visuals, and more—all without constant supervision (manusai.io, en.wikipedia.org).

⚙️ How Manus Stands Out

  • Tool‑calling & independent execution: Manus interacts with a browser, CLI, files, and even image-generators—finishing tasks end‑to‑end, not just sketching solutions (manusai.io).
  • State‑of‑the‑art GAIA benchmark results: It reportedly surpasses models like OpenAI DeepResearch—humans score ~92%, GPT‑4 plugins ~15%, and Manus reportedly hits ~86–90% (manusai.io).
  • Integrated visuals: It can generate images (e.g. logos, mockups) within context-based workflows—like branding a food truck—rather than serving one-off art (techradar.com).

👀 What People Are Saying

Opinions are mixed:

  • Praise: “The most impressive AI tool I’ve ever tried… could eliminate the need for coding as we know it” (businessinsider.com).
  • Critiques: Users report slowness, task failures, and that credit costs can add up quickly .

Manus is still invite‑only. A waitlist is active, but invites are rare (reuters.com).

✅ Why You Should Try It

➡️ If you've ever wanted AI that actually does things—plans, executes, integrates visuals—without babysitting, Manus is worth exploring.
➡️ It's perfect for workflows like data scraping, report creation, slide generation, code prototyping, or even startup‑style branding.
