Category: Consumer AI Agent Platform
Manus is an AI agent platform that can generate presentations, build websites, create desktop applications, design images, produce music, perform web research, and automate browser tasks. It ships a REST API (v2) at https://api.manus.ai so developers can drive agents programmatically from their own applications.
As of June 2026, Manus is part of Meta and is positioned for business use worldwide.

Rate limits (API v2)
| Endpoint type | Limit |
|---|---|
| Creation endpoints (task.create, project.create) | 10-40 req/min |
| Read endpoints (task.detail, project.list) | 100 req/min |
