In-depth technical investigation into the Manus AI agent, focusing on its architecture, tool orchestration, and autonomous capabilities.

I wrote an in-depth research prompt to conduct a GPT-Deep-Research on the Manus topic, seeking to replicate it with currently available open source tools. This is the result:

TLDR: Manus AI Agent Report

Manus is an autonomous AI agent built as a wrapper around foundation models (primarily Claude 3.5/3.7 and Alibaba's Qwen). It operates in a cloud-based virtual computing environment with full access to tools like web browsers, shell commands, and code execution. The system's key innovation is using executable Python code as its action mechanism ("CodeAct" approach), allowing it to perform complex operations autonomously. The architecture consists of an iterative agent loop (analyze → plan → execute → observe), with specialized modules for planning, knowledge retrieval, and memory management. Manus uses file-based memory to track progress and store information across operations. The system can be replicated using open-source components including CodeActAgent (a fine-tuned Mistral model), Docker for sandbox

Manus tools and prompts
Hi everyone, I have shipped Pointer CLI --- the world's first general purpose agent in your terminal. It's our first of many releases and we are looking for constructive feedbacks before we open source it.
> it's a sota agent with minimum scaffolding
> it has every tool that manus has, including web, browser, bash, editor, code, think, and more
> it's a mini Claude code that's very good at coding, sometimes even better than Cursor
> it supports MCP so you can extend its functionalities as you wish
> it supports multiple models switching like deepseek, open router, and gemini
> i built the core agent in 3 days and we are looking for "vibe" testers
