Manus internal beta launches: Monica team launches first universal AI agent

Manus, a brand new AI product developed by the Monica team, officially entered the internal beta stage today and has set off a craze on the X platform. This product, called itself “the first universal AI agent”, has attracted widespread attention for its ability to complete complex tasks independently. The first batch of internal testing invitation codes issued has ignited user enthusiasm and marked Manus' ambitious debut in the field of AI.

Manus internal test unveils

According to the latest updates on X, the Monica team announced the launch of Manus internal beta on March 5. @op7418 posted on the same day: "The Monica team released Manus, a truly autonomous agent, which can independently complete complex tasks, not just generate ideas. The demonstration looks very cool and I hope it can be used." He also shared a detailed demonstration video introduction, showing Manus' outstanding performance in information collection, research and task execution.

Currently, participating in Manus internal testing requires access through the invitation code. @imxiaohu said on March 5: "The website still needs invitation codes, and I will send them tomorrow." This news quickly triggered users to rush to get it, showing the community's high expectations for Manus. The official website (manus.ai) has been launched, but the specific functions are only available for internal testing user experience.

Technical highlights and performance breakthroughs

Manus is promoted as a "universal AI agent", and its core lies in surpassing the limitations of traditional generative AI and providing autonomous task execution capabilities. @imxiaohu revealed that Manus has reached the latest SOTA (State-of-the-Art) level in GAIA Benchmark (General AI Agent Evaluation Benchmark), and its execution capabilities are better than competitors such as OpenAI. This benchmark covers a variety of practical tasks, highlighting Manus’ potential in complex scenarios.

X user @neozhang analyzed on March 5. Judging from the demonstration, Manus' usage scenarios mainly focus on information collection and research, including data analysis at work and travel planning in life. He asked: "What is the source of the limitation? Is it the user needs, imagination boundaries, or model capability bottlenecks?" This discussion has triggered the community's in-depth thinking about the boundaries of Manus technology.

User response: Amazing and expectation coexist

Early feedback on the X platform showed that Manus’ internal beta demonstration was impressive. @kxycigaret said on March 5: "I looked at the use cases of Manus public for more than an hour, and the effect is incredibly good, and the completion is really high." Users generally praised its fluency and practicality, believing that it is expected to become a new benchmark in the field of AI agents.

However, the limited access to internal testing has also discouraged some users. Many people left messages to request invitation codes under @imxiaohu's post, reflecting their strong curiosity about Manus. The community expects that as internal testing advances, more details and actual experiences will be gradually revealed.

Industry significance and future prospects

Manus' launch comes at a time when competition for AI agent technology is intensifying. The Monica team has previously accumulated a reputation for technical reputation with AI assistant Monica. This entry into the general agent field is regarded as an important step in its strategic upgrade. Compared with competitors such as xAI's Grok and Anthropic's Claude, Manus's autonomy and task completion ability may become its differentiated advantages.

Although it is currently only in the internal beta stage, Manus' potential has attracted industry attention. Intensive testing and user feedback in the coming weeks will determine whether it can deliver on its promise of a “universal agent”. The Monica team has not disclosed the official launch time, but said it will quickly iterate and optimize based on the internal test results.

The launch of Manus internal beta brings new expectations for AI technology enthusiasts. Judging from the heated discussion on X, this "universal AI agent" created by the Monica team has successfully ignited user enthusiasm. With its top performance in GAIA Benchmark and its ability to perform autonomous tasks, Manus may make waves in the field of AI. With the release of invitation codes and the deepening of internal testing, the true appearance of this mysterious product will be revealed soon.
