Manus was developed by a Chinese company.
Manus is the world's first general agent (autonomous intelligent agent) product created by the Chinese team Monica, and the development company behind it is Butterfly Effect. Founded in 2022, the company has two phenomenal products: Monica, an AI assistant with tens of millions of users worldwide, and Manus, the world's first general AI agent. The founding team includes serial entrepreneurs such as Xiao Hong and Ji Yichao. Among them, Xiao Hong graduated from Huazhong University of Science and Technology and founded Wuhan Nightingale Technology Co., Ltd., focusing on the application development and promotion of the WeChat ecosystem, and has obtained strategic financing of hundreds of millions of yuan from Tencent and other companies.
The popularity of Manus stems from its breakthrough functional design. It can not only provide suggestions or answers, but also directly generate complete task results, demonstrating strong autonomous execution capabilities. In the GAIA benchmark test, Manus achieved SOTA (State-of-the-Art) results, showing that its performance exceeds OpenAI's large model of the same level. Its powerful resume screening, report writing, table making and other functions allow users to easily cope with complex tasks, truly realizing the leap from thinking to action.
