Manus

Action-oriented AI agent for executing tasks, research, and browser workflows.

Agentic SaaS assistant that aims to move beyond chat by performing multi-step work for the user.

Manus is positioned as a hands-on AI agent that executes research, browsing, drafting, and structured task flows for users instead of only returning text responses. Its breakout in 2025 and its paid plan rollout make it one of the newest fast-rising SaaS products worth tracking closely.
