The Max agent represents a large leap in Manus's technical capabilities. It features a redesigned core architecture that enables higher rates of autonomous task completion, advanced reasoning, and more reliable tool usage. Notably, the agent excels at spreadsheet management, automating complex financial modeling and report generation, tasks that previously required considerable manual input. It also powers Manus's Wide Research feature, now capable of deeper and more accurate parallel analysis. In double-blind testing, Max increased user satisfaction by over 19%, reflecting improvements in both output quality and process reliability. Compared to earlier versions and competitors, Max delivers more sophisticated web and mobile solutions, generating applications with custom interfaces and automated workflows from simple user prompts.
Manus, the company behind this release, has steadily evolved its platform from web-based automation to a full-stack AI solution. With the introduction of mobile app generation and a point-and-click Design View for image editing, Manus extends its platform to cover a wider set of user needs. The 50% reduced credit cost for the Max agent during the launch period is expected to draw interest from both existing users and new adopters.
