Singapore-based general-purpose agent executes multi-step tasks end to end — research, coding, slides, data analysis — in a cloud sandbox and delivers finished work products. Resumed independent operations in August 2026 after being part of Meta from late 2025.
Manus says it has formally resumed independent operations, with the founding team continuing to lead the company. The transition included a temporary interruption to access, and some users had to back up and restore data. Manus positions itself as an independent agent lab that will keep turning new capabilities into products for handling complex everyday tasks. ↗
Manus announces it is separating from Meta — where it had been since December 29, 2025 — to operate independently again. To comply with regional regulations, certain user data dated during the Meta period will be deleted August 23-24, with affected users getting a backup window and free service until then. ↗
