Agent TARS : It is a desktop AI Agent tool based on the Visual Language Model (VLM) open sourced by ByteDance. It supports controlling computer operations through natural language commands and realizes cross-platform GUI automated interaction.

Its core features include natural language control, multimodal perception and interaction, automated task execution, and high performance and scalability. Users can directly enter instructions, such as "send a tweet containing 'Hello World'" or "check the weather in San Francisco", and the model will automatically parse and perform the corresponding operations. In addition, UI-TARS Desktop has demonstrated excellent performance and has achieved excellent results in multiple evaluations, such as OSWorld benchmarks and AndroidWorld.

LangManus : is a community-driven AI automation framework that builds on the outstanding work of the open source community. Our goal is to combine language models with specialized tools for tasks such as web search, crawling, and Python code execution, while giving back to the community that makes this possible.

✅ Task planning and segmentation - intelligently divide tasks and select the best execution plan.
✅ Information retrieval and data crawling——Able to integrate tools such as Tavily and Playwright to automatically obtain information.
✅ Artificial intelligence computing and analysis - use AI models (such as OpenAI, DeepSeek) to process data and perform reasoning analysis.
✅ Automatically generate research reports - automatically create formatted report documents based on research requirements.
