Manus founder Xiao Hong said the project was designed from inception as a general-purpose intelligent agent rather than an office-task tool, and that the team is preparing a domestic version. Manus is expanding into video and game creation: Manus Studio can have an agent write code and convert that code into a video without relying on a video-generation model. Its cloud computer can also support multiplayer game development and currently offers Linux, Mac and Windows environments. Xiao described Cue as an agent with its own phone number, email, payment capabilities and computer, and said future human-agent interactions could include larger groups involving people and robots.
