Manus AI - Automate Complex Tasks with AI Agents

Can Manus keep working on a task after I close the app?

Yes. Manus runs tasks asynchronously in the cloud, so it continues working even after you close the app and notifies you when the task is finished. This means you can hand off a complex workflow and come back to it later without keeping the app open.

What happens if I need to change direction mid-task in Agent Mode?

You have full control over tasks at any point. You can stop a task, edit it, or redirect Manus to take a different approach before it completes. This lets you steer the agent without losing the work already done.

What kinds of files can Manus transform into dashboards or presentations?

Manus works with CSV and Excel data files, transforming them into interactive visual dashboards. It can also generate presentation decks from prompts and create images and video stories from text, though it does not publish the full list of supported input formats, so check their site if you have a specific file type in mind.

Do I need to pay for Agent Mode or can I use Manus for free?

Chat mode is free and unlimited. Agent Mode, where Manus autonomously executes complex tasks, requires a one-click upgrade available through in-app purchases. The exact pricing and credit structure are not published upfront, so you will see the cost when you choose to upgrade.
