Manus, an emerging platform for AI agents that gained significant attention earlier this year, recently announced a new offering targeted at small businesses and organisations. The initiative, known as Manus Team, provides an accessible solution starting at $39 per month per user, with a minimum requirement of five users, amounting to a total of $195 monthly.
Under this model, each team is allocated a pool of 19,500 credits, which can be shared among members. Included in this package are several beta features, dedicated infrastructure, and priority support during high-demand periods. Each user can utilise 3,900 credits and is permitted to perform up to two tasks simultaneously. This flexibility allows for seamless collaboration among team members without individual restrictions on credit usage.
Credits can be applied towards various tasks, such as transferring data from websites to spreadsheets. Longer or more complex tasks can consume hundreds or even thousands of credits, making it essential for users to plan their activity efficiently.
In addition, the Manus platform offers a “high-effort mode,” enhancing reliability for team members tackling more demanding tasks. The launch of Manus Team comes on the heels of several advancements, including the rollout of premium features and a new mobile app to further support user engagement.
The startup behind Manus, Butterfly Effect, has garnered attention not only for its innovative offerings but also for securing $75 million in a funding round led by Benchmark, which has positioned the company with a valuation of $500 million. This funding boost is expected to aid Manus in its ambitions to branch out into new markets, particularly targeting regions such as Japan and the Middle East. Furthermore, the company aims to continuously enhance the AI models that underpin its platform, currently leveraging Anthropic’s Claude 3.7 Sonnet and bespoke versions of Alibaba’s Qwen.
With this strategic offering, Manus is poised to establish itself as a key player in the AI landscape, enabling small businesses to leverage advanced technology for greater productivity and efficiency.
