Multi-agent architecture redefined: The performance of manus ai
Autonomous innovation: Why Manus Ai marks the next big AI milestone
Manus AI establishes himself as a groundbreaking autonomous AI agent that bridges the border between human thinking and acting. This innovative system goes beyond traditional chatbots by planning and carrying out complex tasks independently without needing constant human instructions. Since his start on March 6, 2025, Manus has attracted international attention and is called China's second “Deepseek moment”-an important milestone in AI development. The system combines advanced multi-agent architecture with asynchronous way of working and provides impressive results in benchmark tests, which makes it one of the most powerful autonomous AI systems of the present.
Suitable for:
Basic functioning and architecture
Manus Ai differs from conventional AI assistants by his ability to act independently. While systems such as Chatgpt or Google Gemini are dependent on continuous human inputs, Manus can independently take initiative, plan and execute tasks. This autonomous functioning is made possible by an advanced multi-agent architecture, in which various AI models work together in order to manage different aspects of a complex task.
The technical basis of manus consists of a combination of Anthropics Claude 3.5 Bonnet for programming tasks and optimized versions of Alibabas QWen models for planning processes. The development team is currently working on an update on Claude 3.7 to further improve the problem-solving and execution skills. A particularly innovative feature is the asynchronous functionality that enables users to delegate tasks and devote themselves to other activities while manus works independently.
Manus works follow a structured agent loop in which tasks are gradually edited. The process includes the analysis of user inquiries, the selection of suitable tools, the execution of commands in a Linux sandbox, the iteration and refinement of the actions as well as the transmission of structured results to the user. This architecture enables manus to function like a digital employee who can operate a computer, navigate through the Internet and interact with different systems.
Technical components and security aspects
The core architecture of Manus is based on several technical components that together form a powerful system. This includes a Linux-Sandbox environment for the safe execution of code, shell and command line design for automation of system tasks, integrated web browser control for navigation and data extraction, file system management for document-based work processes as well as provision functions for applications and websites.
For safety reasons, every manus AI meeting works isolated so that users cannot access the execution environments of others. The tools and commands are housed in a sandbox to minimize the risk of unauthorized system access. Manus cannot create user accounts or handle safety measures without express permission. These security measures are crucial to minimize potential risks that could be associated with such an autonomous system.
Performance and areas of application
Manus AI is characterized by impressive achievements in benchmark tests. It has reached new peak values in the Gaia benchmark, a standard for the evaluation of general AI assistants when solving real problems. According to graphics on the official manus website, the Openais Deep Research system surpasses in performance tests. This performance was also demonstrated in practical applications, for example on freelancer platforms such as upwork and FIVERR as well as in Kaggle competitions in the field of machine learning.
The areas of application of manus are diverse and cover both professional and private tasks. In a professional context, manus can write reports, analyze data, create spreadsheets, write code and debugg and automate workflows. It can carry out complex research tasks, analyze financial transactions, evaluate job applicants and even manage up to 50 social media accounts at the same time.
Practical application examples
The official examples on the manus website demonstrate the system's versatile skills based on specific applications. This includes planning a trip to Japan, in which Manus not only integrates information, but also creates a personalized travel sandbook. In the area of financial analysis, the system can carry out deep analyzes of shares such as Tesla and create visually appealing dashboards with extensive insights.
Further examples include the creation of teaching materials for teaching, the comparison of insurance policies with clear decision-making recommendations, the procurement of B2B suppliers through comprehensive network criterions, the analysis of financial reports of large companies such as Amazon and the creation of structured company lists. In the e-commerce area, manus can analyze sales data from online shops and provide implementable knowledge, detailed visualizations and tailor-made strategies for increasing sales.
A particularly impressive example shows how Manus created a biography for a technology author, coded a functional website and published it online - all without further input from the initial request. This ability to fully automate complex work processes underlines the potential of manus as a virtual employee.

Company and development team
Behind Manus is the Chinese company Butterfly Effect, which runs offices in Beijing and Wuhan. Despite a relatively small team of only a few dozen employees, the company quickly attracted attention within the Chinese AI industry. In some sources, the company is also known as Monica.Im.
The founding team consists of entrepreneurs and experienced product managers under the direction of a 33-year-old serial entrepreneur named Hong, a graduate of the WU's Huhong University of Science and Technology from 2015. Other well-known team members are Jiaichao, who acts as a co-founder and scientific director, as well as Zhang Tao, who is also mentioned as a co-founder. Previous projects of the team included Wechat-based applications that were later taken over by larger companies, as well as a AI assistant in the form of a browser expansion and mobile application.
The name “Manus” is derived from the Latin word for “hand” and symbolizes the purpose of the system: to help users execute tasks or, as it is expressed poetically, “to give a helping hand”. This naming underlines the company's vision of developing a AI that not only thinks but also acts.
Access and availability
Manus is currently in a private beta phase and access is granted via invitation codes. The process for applying for an invitation code comprises several steps: Interested parties have to visit the official website https://manus.im/, click on “Get Started”, then select “Apply for Access”, enter your email address and explain how you want to use Manus. Then you have to wait patiently for an answer and regularly check your email input.
Shortly after the viral known of Manus in Chinese social media on March 6, 2025, invitation codes on Xianyu, the second-hand marketplace of Alibaba, were offered at excessive prices. Interestingly, Zhang Tao, a co -founder of Manus Ai, mentioned in a contribution in Chinese social media that has not yet been an official channel for invitation code. This indicates that the codes offered on secondary sleeves may not have been authorized.
The terms of use on the Manus website stipulate that users must be at least 18 years old to use the service. When used in the name of a minor, the user must be his parent or guardian. The conditions also contain specific provisions for users in the European Union, US federal government authorities and compliance with US regulations.
Comparison with competitors and innovative characteristics
One of Manus' main strengths compared to competitors is his autonomy. While traditional AI assistants such as Chatgpt and Google Gemini rely on continuous human instructions, Manus can independently take initiative. It is described as the “first real general Ai agent” that goes beyond conventional assistants and acts as a “complete digital employee”.
According to Benchmarks, Manus Openais Deep Research exceeds in performance tests and is considered one of the most competent autonomous AI agents that are currently available. The YouTube title of a practical test even claims that Manus destroys “Openai operator”, which indicates a significant gap in performance.
A particularly innovative feature is the multi-agent architecture, in which manus works like a manager that a team manages to specialize. In the case of complex tasks, it dismantles the problem into manageable parts, assigns it to the corresponding agents and monitors their progress. This framework enables manus to master multi-stage work processes that would have previously required several manually integrated AI tools.
The cloud-based asynchronous way of working is another transformative feature. In contrast to conventional AI assistants who require active user interaction, Manus carries out his tasks in the background and only notifies users if results are available-similar to an extremely efficient employee who does not require micrization.
What manus means for global AI dynamics
The introduction of Manus is described as a “groundbreaking event” that “all changed”. It represents a change from AI as a helper to AI as an independent entity and has revived a discussion about what happens when AI stops asking for permission and begins to make independent decisions.
It is noteworthy that China, which is traditionally regarded as backward towards the USA in basic AI research, has made a significant leap forward with Manus. This could have an impact on the dynamics of power in artificial intelligence and redesign the global AI landscape.
The future of manus depends on various factors, including further technical development, market acceptance and potential regulatory challenges. The planned update to Claude 3.7 promises to further improve the system's reason and execution skills, which indicates continuous innovation and development.
Efficiency increase and innovation with manus ai
Manus AI represents significant progress in the development of autonomous AI agents. With its ability to plan and carry out complex tasks independently, it goes far beyond traditional AI assistants and approaches the concept of a digital employee. The multi-agent architecture, asynchronous work and integration of different tools enable unprecedented autonomy and efficiency in coping with real tasks.
The areas of application of manus are diverse and include data analysis, reporting, programming, web automation and content creation. It has the potential to revolutionize work processes in various industries and increase productivity. At the same time, his autonomy raises important questions regarding the future of work, ethical considerations and potential regulatory challenges.
As a Chinese innovation, Manus also questions the traditional idea that the United States is a leader in AI research and could mark a turning point in the global AI landscape. The further development and distribution of manus will undoubtedly be pursued with great interest, since it sets new standards for autonomous AI systems and paving the way for future innovations.
