Summary
Manus launched Cloud Computer as a dedicated cloud machine that keeps bots, scripts, apps, and data running beyond a single task session. The feature gives Manus users a persistent environment with retained files and installed tools, moving the product closer to hosted agent infrastructure than disposable agent execution.
What changed
Manus introduced Cloud Computer as an always-on cloud environment for persistent bots, scripts, software, databases, and scheduled jobs.
Why it matters
Many agent products can finish a task once, but far fewer give users a durable runtime that stays available after the chat ends. Cloud Computer matters because it turns Manus from a one-shot task agent into a product that can host long-lived automations, self-hosted tools, and recurring workflows without asking non-developers to manage servers directly.
