China continues to stun the world with huge advancement in the Tech space. Just few days ago a striking new Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) model named Manus has burst onto the tech scene, hot on the heels of fellow Chinese AI startup DeepSeek’s recent global splash.
As per the reports, Chinese AI Startup Monica, formed by a team of ex-Google and Tencent talents, and led by Xiao Hong, launched Magnus on march 6. Hong claims Manus to be more that just a chat bot AI.
Monica has stated on its website that, “Manus is a general AI agent that bridges minds and actions: it doesn’t just think, it delivers results. Manus excels at various tasks in work and life, getting everything done while you rest.”
The buzz kicked into high gear when Peak Ji Yichao, a 33-year-old tech enthusiast from China, and a co-founder of Manus, shared a video about the AI Model to his X post (formerly known as Twitter). The 4-minute video highlights the capabilities of the AI model. The developer team has highlighted the model’s strength to think, plan, and also stated that the model can complete the task independently by delivering the complete results.
The video offers a front-row seat to Manus’s workflow: interacting with its environment, browsing websites, gathering data, and displaying its process in real time. It shows that the AI can generate a travel program, bring an in-depth stock analysis, and assist teachers by creating interactive school circulars. The video also showed how AI agents interact with the environment, gather information, browse websites, perform tasks, and display their workflows in real time.
Beyond creative tasks the demo reveals its knack for rapidly reviewing resumes and summarizing them with human-like insight. Monica boldly claims Manus outshines OpenAI’s Deep Research on the GAIA benchmark.
The excitement isn’t without hurdles. Manus is currently an invite-only preview, with server hiccups and reported bugs like incomplete tasks tempering early feedback. No official public release date has been set.
