Manus 2.0 / Manus Studio

2.0 was released on 2026-09-28, using the Cascade execution framework; the desktop workspace was upgraded to Manus Studio. Cue is another independent application that does not integrate its wallet, phone calls, and agent group chat into the main Manus product.

Product independence does not mean data independence: the help page states that Manus/Cue share accounts and data, and deleting the account affects both; Cue phone subscriptions and weekly quotas are independent of Manus points, and skill configurations must also be set separately.

2.0 provides web, desktop, and mobile portals; My Computer officially supports macOS/Windows. The official website and documents are available in multiple languages ​​including Chinese, English, Japanese and Korean.

Limitations: A multilingual website does not mean that all languages have the same execution quality; the complete country whitelist and store restrictions in various locations have not been verified.

A complete and currently valid country admission list has not been obtained.

Real-time help page: Free $0, 300 points per day, 2.0 Lite; Pro starts at $20/month, 4,000 monthly points or $40/month, 8,000 monthly points (the latter is a 7-day trial), 2.0/Max/Lite is available; Team starts at $20/seat/month, with a 17% discount on annual payment.

Limitations: The actual card is not extracted from the dynamic price page; the help page indicates that the actual quotation shall prevail, and the region/tax has not been logged in to verify.

The task complexity and resources determine the points; there are balance, history, task cost and low balance prompts; the package points are reset monthly, and the rules for additional points must be checked by individuals/Teams.

Limitations: The general plan document states that additional purchases never expire, and the Team page limits the validity period of the subscription; it must not be written as permanently valid.

The current English text of Cloud Computer is only Standard $30/month (2 vCPU/4GB RAM/70GB) and Advanced $50/month (2 vCPU/8GB/120GB); independent public IP, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.

Limitations: Normal task points are not included; all external API/hosting fees have not been verified this time.

Automations include timing, event triggering and advanced beta workflows; support email, calendar, Slack/Notion and GitHub/Shopify/Webhook, etc. Specific events/conditions depend on the connector. Some are near real-time push, some are polling.

Limitations: Not all events are written in real time; maintaining an independent service over the long term may require a Cloud Computer.

Automation can view time/status/results, edit/pause/test; repeated failures may be automatically paused. You can choose to continue the original task or a new task (depending on portal availability), and re-authorize/correct after errors and then test.

Limitations: Is an active run of configured workflows, non-authenticated silent decisions on all personal matters.

The cloud browser can click/form/extract data in multiple steps; My Computer uses local CLI, files and applications; 2.0 computer control is executed in the authorized visible workspace. Persistent Cloud Computer is an additional purchased Linux server, not the equivalent of a cloud browser desktop.

Limitations: The local computer must be powered on and the desktop application is running; sending commands from the mobile terminal does not prove controlling the mobile OS.

My Computer is accessed by authorized folder; the command can be Allow Once or Always Allow to allow the use of local development tools/hardware.

Limitations: The documentation "Explicit Per-Command Permission" and Always Allow must be read together; 2.0 GUI permission granularity is not inferred from the local CLI documentation.

Mail Manus gives each user a dedicated robot email address to receive tasks/results; Slack uses Manus Bot; web login sessions can be sent/published on behalf of logged-in users.

Limitations: The robot task mailbox does not mean that the user is assigned an independent identity that can be sent out at will; the number/wallet that comes with the main product has not been verified, and the Cue function cannot be imported.

All prefabricated MCP plans are provided, which can create/update notifications, calendars, CRM, etc. according to connector capabilities; operate across tools after OAuth authorization. Custom MCP can connect to HTTPS endpoints and custom reading and writing tools.

Limitations: The writable range is determined by tool and account permissions, and there is no guarantee that every integration has all write operations.

The REST Manus API can programmatically trigger complete agent tasks, manage files, and obtain reports and other results; it does not just provide underlying model completion.

Limitations: This time, the 2.0 exclusive API function mapping, rate limit and all prices have not been verified.

Projects inherits the main instructions and knowledge files for new tasks; projects/tasks are private by default, and shared projects do not automatically share the tasks of each member. Instruction changes will take effect in the next message of the current task, and file updates will only take effect in new tasks.

Limitations: This proves the object's persistent context, but does not prove that the main product has complete automatic personal long-term memory and its on/off switch; the relevant controls remain unknown.

Only project persistent instructions/files are confirmed; the main product's automatic global personal memory and pause, view, and delete interfaces are not verified.

It can be initiated by web/Studio/mobile terminal, Slack channel @Manus or DM, Mail Manus accepts forwarding/cc emails and returns attachments by email; 2.0 can voice command from the mobile phone connected to the computer.

Conditions: Slack bot requires adding channels; Mail Manus is limited to pre-approved senders.

Studio covers documents, forms, PDFs, slides, web pages, codes, games, and videos; the video timeline can be edited one by one rather than regenerated as a whole, and Game Dev can use Cloud Computer to support multiplayer games.

Limitations: Feature announcements are not quality tests; multiplayer gaming capabilities are not multiplayer agent collaboration capabilities.

Wide Research concurrently decomposes independent items; multi-modal document column image generation/understanding, video understanding, speech output, and audio transcription.

Limitations: "Hundreds of agents" and "same quality" are vendor descriptions, not fixed concurrency quotas or independent accuracy rates.

Connectors create calendar events; official emails/team stories mention the travel booking process. The browser can operate the form, but the main product payment approval, wallet and merchant closed-loop coverage are not verified.

Limitations: The Cue scan code ordering/budgeting wallet must not be regarded as Manus support; examples are not evidence of completed transactions.

The complete authorization process for main product wallets, budget payments, or cross-merchant autonomous payments is not verified.

Collab allows you to view tasks, send prompts and iterate together. Only the task owner consumes points and only he can invite; Free 1 concurrency/2 Scheduled Automations, Pro 20 concurrency/20 Scheduled Automations.

Limitations: 20 scheduled configurations do not equal the hard limit of 20 event triggers or per workflow subagent.

The cloud browser can watch in real time and continue after manual takeover during verification code/multi-factor authentication; Cloud Computer has Web Terminal/SSH, CPU/RAM/storage monitoring; process logs can be checked and restarted and restored.

Limitations: Cloud machine upgrades will restart; there is no independently verified end-to-end success rate or no state loss commitment.

The SEW author used Manus 2.0 to create a 30-second commercial on September 30: the first draft took 21 minutes, and the subsequent three revisions took less than 4 minutes and were called completed.

Limitations: N=1, no duplication/open full set of tips/blind evaluation; cannot be converted into comprehensive scores, success rate or other task delays.

Compared with the old system, Cascade claims to reduce tokens by 23.2%, time consumption by 28.2%, and operating costs by 32% under a test configuration.

Limitations: Lack of verifiable task sets, sample sizes/variances, configurations, and external replication; does not represent a 32% reduction in subscription price.

The Team page states that it prohibits model vendors from using Team/Enterprise data training and provides SSO, audit logs, sharing permissions and SOC 2 Type II/ISO 27001 statements. Browser sessions can be cleared and saving login status requires user confirmation.

Limitations: Certification reports are not independently audited; individual program training defaults and retention periods are not verified from a readable formal policy.

Stopping payment for Cloud Computer will shut down the VM and delete its files/databases, and chats about delivered products will be retained; deleting an account may retain some information due to legal/fraud prevention, and team retention is subject to the administrator.

Official notice on August 21: The independent operation conversion resulted in the deletion of specified period data of specific affected accounts from August 23 to 25, and a backup and recovery process was provided.

Limitations: This is a historical region/account-wide event, not all current users' continuous deletion of data; the integrity of user-by-user recovery has not been verified.
