Manus launched Cue on September 28, 2026, alongside a broader Manus 2.0 update, as a standalone app for building and running personal AI agents, separate from Manus's existing product. Inside Cue, each agent gets its own email address, phone number, wallet, and computer, so it can send messages and emails, take your calls and summarize them, pay for things within a budget you set, and carry out multi-step tasks on its own machine. It's Manus's push beyond enterprise and developer customers into consumer personal agents, and the launch comes as the company seeks a $4 billion valuation after Beijing blocked its planned deal with Meta. Cue is available now on web and desktop, with mobile access and iOS coming after App Store review, and early access requires an invite code.
Why it matters
This puts Manus in the same lane as Instinct, Muse, and Fo: personal agents with their own phone number and payment method to act on your behalf. Worth watching if you're comparing personal agents in this category, but it's a fresh, invite-only launch, so treat it as unproven until more real-world use turns up.
