- New Agent AI Tool Manus is celebrated as more skilled than previously available agents
- Others are less impressed, with reference to crashes and hallucinations while experts require caution
- A use of use gallery shows that script is used to plan trips and analyze shares
Manus, a new ‘Agentic’ AI tool from the Chinese Start-up Monica, has entered into a preview of invitees, and according to some users, “[redefines] What is possible “for automated AI work processes to achieve.
It is, according to a Twitter user who asked the script to ‘code a three -game game, where you control a plane’ and ‘ended up concluding that script is the most impressive AI tool I’ve ever tried’.
Manus’ own utility gallery (via Techcrunch) establishes some of the options, such as planning a trip to and producing a personal guide book for a trip to Japan, accessing a database to sort information from it to tables, analyze stocks in a human readable dashboard and plan job candidate interviews without the intervention from a real person.
What are AI agents?
AI ‘agents’, although driven by large language models (LLMS), differ from AI authors, using systems to automate a workflow based on a user’s prompt, rather than producing a single piece of output.
Manus does not offer anything special new, though it is noteworthy that AI agents may not have the best reputation; Known for fighting factual information and basically being non-functional.
However, others are not so impressed. TechcrunchKyle Wiggers gave a coherent account of their experience, reported crashes and failures on tasks ranging from simple (booking a table at a restaurant) to the intricate (“Then I asked the platform to build a Naruto-inspired match game)”.
Comparisons are also made with Deepseeks LLMs, though these are not completely added. The script and Deepseek may both come from China, but Deepseek is not an agent and manus is not open source and actually has no release plan. That said, an open source version, Openmanus, is in active development.
Manus comes from a Chinese boot has caused unrest with some circles, Axios Remarks, to worry China wins space in a so-called “race for AI overlord”.
Experts Doubts Manus
Two industry figures told Techradar Pro that their doubts about agent AI are still back. Corpora.ai’s CEO Mel Morris said “Manus” demonstrations show the potential of agent AI as a significant step forward. However, giving autonomous AI agents such as the manus the ability to perform independent actions raise serious concerns. “
“We have already witnessed several examples of generative AI and so -called reasoning models that produce defective output. If autonomy is given over tasks with high efforts – such as buying and selling shares – such imperfections can lead to chaos. The ability to compare the tribal and trading activity of a few minutes is very different from successfully navigating the complexities of the market. “
Similarly, Copyleaks co -founder and CEO Alon Yamin said that “While Innovation in AI can create a remarkable efficiency, it also enhances concerns about transparency, data security and responsible supervision. Manus’ cloud -based operations surfaces More critical questions about data management: Who checks the information? Where does it live? How is the data protected? “
“As AI systems become more autonomous, ethical development and regulatory adaptation must be prioritized. AI management solutions that help organizations detect and mitigate AI risks remain critical, ensuring that progress such as Manus AI is deployed responsibly and transparently. “
