Manus AI is a general-purpose AI agent introduced in early 2025, marking a significant advancement in autonomous artificial intelligence. Developed by the Chinese startup Monica.im, Manus is designed to bridge the gap between "mind" and "hand" - combining the reasoning and planning capabilities of large language models with the ability to execute complex, end-to-end tasks that produce tangible outcomes. This paper presents a comprehensive overview of Manus AI, exploring its core technical architecture, diverse applications across sectors such as healthcare, finance, manufacturing, robotics, and gaming, as well as its key strengths, current limitations, and future potential. Positioned as a preview of what lies ahead, Manus AI represents a shift toward intelligent agents that can translate high-level intentions into real-world actions, heralding a new era of human-AI collaboration.

  5. Lessons from a Chimp: AI "Scheming" and the Quest for Ape Language

    cs.AI 2025-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Research on AI 'scheming' repeats the methodological errors of 1970s ape language studies, relying on anecdote and mentalistic interpretation instead of controlled, theory-driven tests.

  6. AgentOrchestra: Orchestrating Multi-Agent Intelligence with the Tool-Environment-Agent(TEA) Protocol

    cs.AI 2025-06 reject novelty 5.0 of 10

    AgentOrchestra, built on the TEA protocol, reports state-of-the-art GAIA and strong HLE scores by coordinating specialized sub-agents with versioned tools, environments, and self-evolution.

  7. Upgrade or Switch: Do We Need a Next-Gen Trusted Architecture for the Internet of AI Agents?

    cs.NI 2025-06 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Current web infrastructure (DNS, PKI, IP) is argued to be inadequate for millisecond-scale discovery and trust among billions of autonomous AI agents, so hybrid upgrade-and-switch index architectures will likely emerge.

  8. A Call for Collaborative Intelligence: Why Human-Agent Systems Should Precede AI Autonomy

    cs.AI 2025-06 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A position paper arguing that LLM-based human-agent systems, not fully autonomous agents, should be the immediate goal for AI development.

  9. FinRobot: Generative Business Process AI Agents for Enterprise Resource Planning in Finance

    cs.AI 2025-06 reject novelty 4.0 of 10

    A generative multi-agent framework for ERP dynamically orchestrates financial workflows and claims 40% time and 94% error reductions in two bank case studies, with limited public evidence.

  10. Get Experience from Practice: LLM Agents with Record & Replay

    cs.LG 2025-05 reject novelty 4.0 of 10

    AgentRR is a proposed paradigm that records agent traces, generalizes them into multi-level experiences, and replays them under safety checks to make LLM agents cheaper, faster, and more reliable.
