Manus

Agent Mode

Tasks run in a cloud virtual machine that handles file operations, browser automation and code execution. Credits are consumed only while a task is actively processing.

Wide Research

Splits a large research job across many agents working in parallel and returns reports and datasets. The pricing page lists it among the paid Pro features.

Slides, websites and web apps

Generates slide decks from a prompt and builds full-stack web apps with a built-in database, backend and login, which can be deployed and connected to a custom domain.

Browser Operator

A Chrome extension that lets Manus work inside your own browser session, using your existing logins and open tabs once you grant it access.

Scheduled and concurrent tasks

Tasks can run on a schedule and side by side: 2 scheduled tasks and 1 concurrent task on the free plan, 20 of each on Pro.

Connectors and API

Connects to apps such as Gmail, Notion, Slack, Google Calendar and GitHub. A public API can create tasks, send follow-up messages and retrieve results.

Runable

Website and app builder

Builds websites and apps from a prompt with a database, analytics, Stripe payments and a free subdomain, including Android and iOS apps. The pricing page lists it from Pro.

Slides, carousels, images and video

Generates slide decks, social carousels, images, videos and research documents, with a choice of chat models that includes GPT, Claude, Gemini and Grok.

Grow

Plans, launches and manages ad campaigns on Meta, Google, LinkedIn, TikTok and ChatGPT Ads, creates and schedules social posts, and runs outreach within spending limits you set.

Scheduled tasks

You describe a task and how often it should run; Runable does the work in the cloud and sends updates by email, mobile app, iMessage or Slack.

Assistant in messaging apps

Claw lets you ask Runable for work from the messaging apps you already use. The Pro plan lists Slack, Microsoft Teams, Telegram, iMessage and Discord.

Notetaker and Flow

Notetaker joins Google Meet, Zoom and Teams calls and returns summaries and action items. Flow is voice dictation that types into any app on a Mac. Neither needs a separate subscription.
