Hello everyone, today we are going to talk about the big AI event that happened early yesterday morning - Manus.
2025 is called the "first year of AI Agent". At the beginning of the year, I saw the concept of Agentic AI on various channels, just when deepseek was launched. After reading it, I agreed with a blogger's statement that a disruptive AI Agent product would be released soon, "the time left for ordinary people is less than ten months". I didn't expect that it would be fulfilled so soon in the early morning of March 6.
Manus, the world's first truly autonomous AI agent product launched by Monica.im, completely woke up the entire AI circle in the early morning. Currently, a Manus invitation code has been sold for 10,000 yuan on Xianyu in just one day.
So, why is Manus so popular? What can it do? What far-reaching impact will it bring? How to apply for a trial? This article will reveal them one by one. (First, read the official description)

Why Manus succeeded: the leap from "thinking" to "execution"
The success of Manus is not accidental, but the result of a perfect combination of technology and user needs. Its core lies in the "autonomous execution capability" rather than just providing suggestions or answers. As its Latin name "Manus" (meaning "hand") implies, it can not only "think" but also "do it" to complete tasks. This leap from "thinking" to "execution" is the essential difference between Manus and traditional AI assistants .
Manus uses a "Multiple Agent" architecture and runs in an independent virtual machine . It can call various tools (such as writing code, browsing the web, operating applications, etc.) to directly deliver complete results . For example, in the task of screening resumes, Manus can not only automatically decompress files and browse resumes page by page, but also generate Excel tables according to user preferences, and even remember user operating habits so that tasks can be completed more efficiently next time. This ability to "simulate the way humans work" makes Manus more like a "24/7 on-call intern."
What Manus can do: An all-around assistant from travel planning to stock analysis
Manus's capabilities go far beyond this. Its application scenarios cover multiple fields such as work, life, education, and finance. The following are some typical cases:
- Travel planning : Manus not only integrates travel information, but also creates customized travel guides for users. For example, it can help users plan a trip to Japan in April and provide personalized travel suggestions and detailed guides.
- Stock Analysis : Manus can conduct in-depth stock analysis and design visually appealing dashboards to display comprehensive stock insights. For example, it conducts in-depth analysis of Tesla stock and creates a visual dashboard.
- Educational content creation : Manus creates video presentations for middle school teachers that explain complex concepts like the momentum theorem, helping teachers teach more effectively.
- Financial Report Analysis : Manus captures changes in market sentiment toward specific companies (such as Amazon) through research and data analysis, providing market sentiment analysis for the past four quarters.
These cases demonstrate Manus's efficient execution capabilities in complex tasks. In GAIA's evaluation, Manus's various indicators are ahead of Open AI Deep Research.
How to apply for a trial of Manus
For the majority of users, the release of Manus is undoubtedly exciting, but since Manus is still in the internal testing stage, an invitation code is required to experience it immediately. After clicking the "Get Started" button in the upper right corner of the website homepage, you will be prompted to enter a verification code.
For students who have no channels to obtain the verification code, you can click "Apply for access" here.
Submit your application as soon as possible to get on the waiting list and go directly to: https://manus.im/invitation.
Fill in the application information: After clicking the trial application portal, you need to fill in a short application form. In the form, you need to fill in your email address, the scenario in which you will use Manus, and how to use it.
After filling in the form successfully, there will be this prompt, indicating that you have entered the queue list.
Here are a few tips that I think of. The scenario needs to be filled out carefully. The more specific and more in line with the tone of the product, the greater the chance of approval of the application.
For example, the form I fill out is "What do I do and what do I need to do every day; through Manus, I can use Manus to carry out my xx scenario."
The impact of Manus: Anxiety and opportunities in the AI Agent era
The release of Manus not only shows people the great progress of AI technology, but also triggers deep thinking about the future. With the popularization of AI Agents, many traditional jobs may face the risk of being replaced .
For example, Manus has demonstrated capabilities in tasks such as screening resumes, analyzing stocks, and compiling lists of startups, which have surpassed the level of some human practitioners. Will this "intern" level AI evolve into "expert" level AI in the future? The answer to this question is almost certain.
However, in addition to anxiety, Manus also brings huge opportunities. It makes people realize that AI is not only a tool, but also a partner. Through Agent AI, we can complete complex tasks more efficiently and devote more energy to creative work.
As Monica founder Xiao Hong said: "Agent will be a new form, which requires new products to take over." And our generation is also lucky. We are about to witness the moment of history and become the first indigenous people of the AI era.
How to cope with the AI Agent era?
The answer is simple: stay competitive! All we can do is always be ourselves!
As ordinary people, we should keep up with the trend of the times, use AI to explore ways to improve ourselves, strive to keep up with the times, and run faster than those around us.
The era of AI Agent has arrived, and the future belongs to those who dare to embrace change. Follow me, keep pace with AI technology, and meet the challenges and opportunities of the future together!
