Manus has launched a bundle of new products and updates under the Manus 2.0 umbrella. Cascade and the new foundation: Manus 2.0 gets a more efficient agent architecture with Cloud Computers and event-triggered Automations. Manus Studio: the Manus desktop app has become an AI workspace with Video Editor, Alchemy, Game Dev, Remote Control, and Computer Use. Cue: a new standalone app for personal agents. They will have their own email addresses, phone numbers, wallets, computers, and multi-agent teamwork. I need time to test it 👀

Previously, Scheduled Tasks could only start work on a schedule. Now Manus can trigger Automations after a new email, a change in ad metrics, a calendar event, a Slack message, or a Notion update.
Workspace. Manus Studio is available to download for macOS on Apple Silicon and Windows. In Video Editor, instead of entering a new prompt and regenerating the video, you can edit individual clips, images, text, motion graphics, and audio on the timeline. Computer Use works in a connected authenticated session with approved files, browser, and apps.
For multiplayer games, Game Dev connects a Cloud Computer and handles server setup. Cloud Computer costs $10, $30, or $50 per month: Basic includes 2 vCPUs, 1 GB RAM, and 35 GB of storage, Standard includes 4 vCPUs, 4 GB RAM, and 70 GB, and Advanced includes 8 vCPUs, 8 GB RAM, and 120 GB.
Cue moves personal agents into a separate app: each gets an email, phone number, wallet, and computer. The agent spends money within a set budget, answers calls, and leaves a summary in Cue.
Cue is currently offering early access through a limited number of MEETCUE codes, while the iOS version is awaiting App Store review.
