It's a new architecture, new products, and new capabilities built around a fundamental question: what should the next generation of Manus look like?\n\n### 1. A new foundation for going further\n\n**Cascade: The latest iteration of our in-house agent harness**\n\nIt keeps a project light from the start and brings in specialized capabilities only when the work needs them. The brief, the page, the video, and the automation stay part of one connected project.\n\nBetter results. Less waste. In one tested configuration, Cascade used 23.2% fewer tokens, finished tasks in 28.2% less time, and cost 32% less to run than our previous system.\n\n**Cloud Computer: When your project needs a place of its own**\n\nSome projects outgrow one machine. Now you can purchase a Cloud Computer: a dedicated environment for the projects that need it, from the server behind a multiplayer game to a permanent home for an automation.\n\n**Automations: From scheduled tasks to event-triggered workflows**\n\nScheduled Tasks used to let Manus start work only at a set time. Now, with Automations, work can also begin when something happens in a connected service—a new email, a change in ad performance, a calendar event, a Slack message, or a Notion update.\n\n### 2. Manus Studio: From finishing tasks to making great work\n\nWith Manus 2.0, the desktop app is upgraded to Manus Studio: a shared workspace for people and AI. Studio brings in only what your project calls for. Major upgrades cover documents, spreadsheets, PDFs, and slides, as well as websites, code, games, and video—plus two new professional environments: **Video Editor** and **Game Dev**.\n\n**Video Editor** gives you a timeline of clips, images, text, motion graphics, and audio so you can swap songs, drop in your own footage, and export—or hand it back to Manus for another pass. **Alchemy mode** lets Manus take creative direction using video and code generation together.\n\n**Game Dev** uses video, image, and coding models together. In the Edit panel you can watch the game run, manage assets, edit code, and change movement, art, and scenes by hand. Multiplayer setup takes a few clicks via Cloud Computer.\n\n**Remote Control and Computer Use:** tell Manus what you need from your phone and watch your desktop live while it works in an authorized session.\n\n### 3. Cue: A new app from Manus\n\nCue is a new standalone app for your personal agents, on phone and desktop. Every agent gets its own email, phone number, wallet, and computer. Put several agents in a group chat with a shared goal; they hand work to each other while you set direction.\n\n### Availability\n\nManus 2.0 is available now on the web, desktop, and mobile. Cue is in early access (invite code MEETCUE for a limited early cohort), with iOS coming after App Store review.\n","body_html":"<p>Today, we are thrilled to introduce Manus 2.0.</p>\n<p>Manus 2.0 is not a version update.
