Manus, probably not China’s second ‘Deep Say’

Last week, an AI platform of an “Agentic” AI platform, which has started last week, is more than a hype from Taylor Swift concert.

Head of the product while his face hugs Is called Manus “It’s the most impressive AI tool I’ve ever tried.” AI Politics Researcher Dean Top described Manus as “the most complex computer using AI.” This Official Disagreement Server Manus has grown over 138,000 members in several days and has codes for Manus It was reported to have something The Chinese seller app is sold in Xiayu for thousands of dollars.

But it is not clear that the hype is right.

Manus has not developed completely from scratch. According to reports Social media, platform, anthropics use the combination of existing and subtle adjustable AI models, including Klod and Alibaba’s Qwen, perform tasks such as investigating research reports and analyze financial documents.

Still on the website Monica – the Chinese beginning behind Manus – the platform supposedly gives a few wild examples, from buying real estate to get acquainted with video games.

One Viral video In the X, Yichao “Summit” Ji, a research apparatus for Manus, said that the platform is superior to agent vehicles such as Openai Deep research and Operator. Manus, a popular benchmark for GAIA-named Benchmark, made a claim that the EU program and the ability to conduct the EU’s Internet using Sterling.

“(Manus) is not just another chatbot or workflow,” said Ji said in the video. “This is a completely autonomous agent who closes the gap between the concept and execution (…), we see this as the next paradigm of human-machinery cooperation.”

However, some early users say that Manus is no panacea.

AI startup Pleea co-founder Alexander Doria, He said in an article in X Manus welcomed error messages and endless loops while breaking. Other X users He noted that Manus did wrong to actual questions and does not want to work consistently – and frequently misses information easily found online.

Deep research ended in 15 minutes. Unfortunately, 18/20 step after 50 minutes Manus AI! 😑 He performed very well – I watched the performance of Manus and looked great. However, it is a bit irritable for taking a long time for a second time running a second time! https://t.co/bgtmoi65cp

My own experience with Manus was incredibly positive.

I asked the platform to me as a very simple survey, how simple chicken sandwiches. Manus was injured in about ten minutes. In the second attempt, found a menu element that meets my criteria, but could not complete the Manus order process or could not provide a checklink.

Manu, I cried in a similar way when I want to order a flight from NYC to Japan. I thought I thought that he did not leave much space for uncertainty (eg “business class flight, price and flexible dates”), some of the most aircraft and tickets like Kayak adapted to relations between several aircraft and ticket search engines.

Hoping that the next few tasks could be a charm, Manus said he would keep a table in a restaurant in a walking distance. Failed in a few minutes. Then I asked the platform to establish Naruto-inspired combat play. When he decided to throw in the towel, it made a mistake in half an hour.

In the last 3 days, after working Manus AI, the honest opinion is good and bad here.

Well:
– The research on the Internet is incredible.
– The ability to use the scripts behind the scenes to perform tasks is impressive.
– Plans …

We have applied for a comment to Monica and if we hear back, we will update this article.

Thus, if Manusis fell shortly after technical promises, why did it explod? Several factors contribute such as exclusivity created by one Scarcity of invitation.

Manusa went rapidly as the Chinese media is a progress of an AI; Published QQ news called him “Pride of internal products.” Meanwhile, those who influenced the AI ​​on social media have spread misrepresentations about the capabilities of Manus. One Extensive shared video The desktop program moving between several smartphone applications, showed a watery Manus. Ji confirmed The video is, in fact, not a demo of Manus.

Other effective AI account Manus and China attempted to compare in X. Depth – Comparisons are not necessarily rooted. Unlike DeepSeek, Monica has not developed models. Deepseleek openly prepares many technology, no monica – At least it’s not still.

To be fair to Monika, Manus is in early entrance. The company is working to measure the calculation and solve problems as provided. However, as the platform is currently available, Manus seems to be a hype incident that works before technological innovation.
