Manus 2.0 is the current version of Manus. It includes a rebuilt internal system, a desktop workspace that can work with files already on your computer, and new ways to keep work moving when you are not at your desk.

Manus 2.0 includes:

Cascade is the new internal system behind Manus. It keeps a project light from the start and brings in specialized capabilities only when the work needs them.

That means the brief, the page, the video, and the automation can stay part of one connected project. Specialized tools are added when the project needs them, instead of loading everything from the beginning.

In one tested configuration, Cascade used 23.2% fewer tokens, finished tasks in 28.2% less time, and cost 32% less to run than the previous system. These results come from one tested configuration, not an overall average.

Most projects do not start from a prompt. They start in a folder: phone footage, a screen recording, product photos, a website you started and never finished, or notes you have been collecting.

Manus Studio is a workspace where Manus can work with those files. In a connected and authorized desktop session, Manus works directly with your local files, folders, and tools. You can point it at a folder and start building.

Studio works the same way whether you are making a website, a video, or a game:

Studio add-ons are specialized environments that plug into a project when it needs them. The first two add-ons are Video Editor and Game Dev.

Video Editor is a Studio add-on. Manus makes the first cut, then hands you the timeline so you can keep editing the same project.

You can:

You do not need to write a new prompt to describe a one-second change. You do not need to regenerate the whole video to change a single frame. The parts you already want to keep stay in place.

If you want Manus to continue, ask it to take the next pass on the same project. It picks up where you left off. You can tighten a moment by hand, ask Manus to refine the rest, and take the project back again.

Video Editor is built for:

Game Dev is a Studio add-on. You start from a playable template, such as a scrolling, jumping, or block-puzzle game, and you can play the first version in the first session.

The Edit panel lets you watch the game, manage assets, adjust code, and change movement, art, and scenes by hand. You can change one thing without resetting the rest.

For example, if one character's hair should be silver instead of brown, select that character and change it. The rest of the game stays as it was.

When other people should be able to join, a multiplayer game needs a server that stays on. In Game Dev, you can do that with:

Configure → Multiplayer → Select Cloud Computer → Buy one.

You do not need to set up your own server.

Some projects outgrow one machine. A multiplayer game needs a server that stays up when your laptop closes. An automation needs somewhere to run around the clock.

A Cloud Computer is a dedicated environment you can purchase for those projects. In Manus 2.0, it can be used as:

Remote Control lets you control your computer with a voice command from your phone. Your desktop streams live while Manus does the clicking.

To use it using voice commands:

Manus can open the folder, find the deck, and send it. You do not need to tap through the desktop yourself. You can change the instruction while the task is running. For example: “Actually, send the PDF version.”

Other example commands:

Computer Use is the system behind Remote Control.

In a connected and authorized session, Manus works in its own visible, separate workspace on your computer. It can move through the files, browser, and apps you have approved.

At your desk, that can be a second pair of hands: you stay in one file while Manus tests an app. Away from your desk, your computer can keep working, and you stay in control of what it does.

An Automation starts work when a signal happens, instead of waiting for you to remember it.

To set one up:

Example: you want to cover new product updates as soon as they are posted. Set up an Automation that watches a product account on X. When a new update is posted, Manus drafts a summary and a set of sample prompts for your audience. When you check your phone, the draft is ready. You still decide what goes out.

Cue is a standalone app for a personal team of agents. You can use it on mobile and on desktop.

Cue currently requires an invitation code. Click the Agents (Cue!) tab in the Manus sidebar, then scan the QR code to download the app. Enter it when you sign in. You may also receive a copy of the code by email.

Each agent has its own identity:

You can build a team. For example, a Marketing channel can have three agents:

They pass work to each other as it develops. You set the direction, check in from your phone, and make the final call. You can also keep a single personal assistant for errands, reminders, and research.
