Manus has launched Cloud Computer, giving users a persistent, always-on cloud machine to run bots, scripts, and software continuously. This release targets both technical and non-technical users seeking to automate workflows, host databases, or deploy open-source tools without configuring servers or writing code. The feature is available now to all Manus users, with options spanning Basic, Standard, and Advanced plans depending on workload needs. Access is provided through the Manus dashboard on web and mobile, and users can select regions and storage sizes to match their requirements.
Introducing Cloud Computer for Manus.

Your always on machine in the cloud, so anything you build keeps running 24/7, even when your laptop is off.
Anyone can build, and anything can run.

Cloud Computer runs on Ubuntu Linux and is accessible via SSH or a web terminal, but does not yet include a graphical desktop interface. Compared to the previous ephemeral Manus sandboxes, Cloud Computer retains files and environments across sessions, making it suitable for long-running bots on platforms like Slack and Discord, live databases, scheduled reporting, or hosting tools like WordPress and Metabase. Security is prioritized through isolated environments and controlled team access. Early feedback from users in developer and automation communities points to the value of simplifying 24/7 automation and lowering the entry barrier for persistent cloud workflows.
Manus, known for its conversational AI automations, is aiming to redefine cloud computing access for a broader user base. By providing a cloud resource managed through simple, plain-English instructions, the company seeks to empower more users to build, deploy, and maintain digital agents and automations that previously required specialized infrastructure knowledge.
