Manus has introduced 'My Computer,' a new capability within the Manus Desktop application that extends its AI agent from the cloud to users’ local computers. The feature allows Manus to interact directly with local files, tools, and applications through command line instructions, enabling it to read, edit, and organize files or control software on macOS and Windows systems. This marks a major shift from Manus’s previous cloud-only operation, bridging the gap between online intelligence and local computing environments.

The new functionality enables users to automate repetitive tasks such as sorting photos or renaming files, and even to build complex desktop applications using local development tools like Python, Node.js, or Swift. Manus can also leverage local GPUs for machine learning tasks, turning idle devices into active AI assistants capable of remote operation. The system maintains user control by requiring explicit approval for each command, with options for one-time or always-on permissions.

According to the announcement, 'My Computer' is available immediately for macOS and Windows users, offering a new way to integrate cloud-based AI with personal computing power.
