Manus launched Manus 2.0 with a new agent harness called Cascade. Cascade reduces token use, task time and cost versus the prior system. Cloud Computer offers dedicated environments for projects needing persistent hosting. Automations now start from external service events as well as schedules. Manus Studio replaces the desktop app as a shared workspace for people and AI. Studio adds Video Editor for timeline-based video editing and fine-tuning. Video Editor includes Alchemy mode for higher-quality creative direction. Game Dev enables building, editing and publishing multiplayer games. Game Dev supports one-click multiplayer setup via Cloud Computer. Remote Control and Computer Use let users command their computer from elsewhere. Cue is a new standalone app for personal agents on phone and desktop. Cue agents can have their own email, phone, wallet and computer. Cue agents can work in group chats to hand tasks to each other.
