Manus 2.0 launches platform to run phone-based agents, edit video, and host multiplayer games
Manus 2.0 turns the company’s agent into a broader platform: users can now edit video and develop/host multiplayer games in a desktop app (Manus Studio), run personal agents reachable by their own phone numbers, and remotely direct approved files and apps on their machines via a "Computer Use" feature. A tested Cascade agent configuration used 23.2% fewer tokens and cost 32% less to run than the prior system; a separate Cue app (in free early access by invite) gives each agent an email address, wallet, and cloud computer. The release is available now.
