Manus launches 'My Computer' desktop app for macOS and Windows
Manus, now Meta-owned, launched 'My Computer', a desktop app that brings its AI agent from the cloud onto your local machine for macOS and Windows. The agent can now operate directly on local files and applications rather than running only in a hosted sandbox.
Manus AI research agent has everyone talking
Manus is a new AI research agent (manus.im) that creates a to-do list, browses the web in a real Chrome browser, and generates files, described on the show as 'Operator on steroids' and seemingly powered by Claude 3.7 behind the scenes. The crew tested it live on a research task and praised its slick UI.
