Manus AI was officially launched on March 6, 2025. Not just an ordinary chatbot, Manus AI is an autonomous agent developed by a startup in China called Monica. The arrival of Manus AI has sparked discussions, especially among technology and AI enthusiasts.
Due to its autonomous nature, Manus AI is designed to complete complex tasks independently with just one command. Manus AI is touted as a platform created to bridge the gap between conception and execution.
In its launch video, this AI chatbot was shown sorting resumes, ranking them, and formatting data into spreadsheets. Monica also mentioned that their innovation can analyze stock trends, extract data from the web, and even build interactive websites.
The creation process of Manus AI
In a video,Yichao Peak Ji, the founder of Manus AI, revealed the development process of Manus AI. He stated that the foundation of Manus uses Claude 3.5 Sonnet v1 and Alibaba’s Qwen AI model that has been refined.
The collaboration between Manus AI and the Qwen team aims to integrate Manus’s autonomous functionalities into China’s domestic AI model. By leveraging the open-source Qwen model, Manus can implement its capabilities on local computing platforms, thereby enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of AI applications across various sectors.
For Manus AI, this partnership offers opportunities to expand its technological reach and increase adoption in the domestic market. For Alibaba, this collaboration will strengthen its position as a leader in AI innovation.
Features of Manus AI
The main feature of Manus AI is the full autonomy provided by this platform. Unlike other AI systems, Manus does not require explicit instructions. It proactively initiates tasks, analyzes data, and adjusts its actions in real-time.
Furthermore, Manus is also capable of multi-domain work. Manus can complete tasks across various fields. The company behind Manus claims that Manus can make decisions faster and more efficiently than humans.
Additionally, Manus can be personalized. Manus learns from user behavior, anticipates hidden preferences, and delivers highly personalized results. It can also continue performing tasks in the cloud even when users are offline, which updates them in real-time after tasks are completed.
Manus AI vs DeepSeek
Before Manus AI came along, DeepSeek had already shaken the technology world. DeepSeek became the center of attention after suddenly becoming the most downloaded application by users in the United States.
The emergence of Manus AI then led many people to compare the two chatbots. Both chatbots offer advanced AI capabilities, but Manus AI is favored more.
Manus AI is superior because it is designed with a fully autonomous system. In addition, Manus also has the ability to perform complex tasks without needing repeated guidance from humans.
With its advanced capabilities and full autonomy, Manus AI has the potential to revolutionize various industries, from recruitment to data analysis. However, challenges related to ethics, regulations, and public acceptance remain.
AI chatbots from China
Magus AI and Deepseek are not the only two AI chatbots from China. In addition to these two, there are many other AI chatbots developed by the talented people of the Bamboo Curtain Country. Among them are Kimi, Doubao, Talkie, and Quark.
Kimi
Kimi was developed by Moonshot AI in 2023. Kimi’s main capability is to allow users to upload and analyze files. Currently, the Kimi chatbot can handle up to two million Mandarin characters in a single prompt, allowing users to analyze books and papers, as well as financial reports.
Doubao
Both Doubao and TikTok are under the same parent company, ByteDance. Launched in the same year as Kimi, Doubao quickly became one of the popular AI chatbots. The main features of Doubao include multimodal AI, various AI personas, and it is marketed at a competitive price.
Talkie
Talkie is an AI chatbot application that allows users to interact with virtual characters through text, voice, and visual elements. This chatbot was developed by MiniMax, a technology company from Shanghai that is supported by Alibaba and Tencent.
Quark
Although Magus AI and DeepSeek have gained global popularity, the most popular chatbot in China is still held by Quark. Launched for the first time in 2016 as a web browser, Quark has now evolved into an AI-based information service platform with over 200 million users in China.
