Manus announced version 2.0 on September 28 with its Cascade agent harness and an expanded desktop workspace called Manus Studio. Its Automations can start work from events in connected services as well as schedules. The announcement also describes purchasable Cloud Computers for projects that need a persistent environment, such as an always-running server or automation.
The release introduces Cue as a separate personal-agent app built on Manus infrastructure. Manus describes Cue agents as having their own identities and supporting coordination in group chats. The launch listed Cue as invite-based early access and said iOS was awaiting review; those are launch-day conditions, not a claim about every platform’s availability on October 10.
Editorial take: The distinction between Manus Studio and Cue is useful. One proposition centers on making and editing work; the other centers on maintaining a relationship with personal agents. Users should judge each against its intended job rather than assume that a new brand name means the same features are available everywhere.
