Manus 2.0 adds video editing, multiplayer games, and phone-remote agent control
China-founded AI startup Manus has released version 2.0 of its agent platform, framing the product as more than a chat assistant. Reporting attributed to The Decoder and Bloomberg via Techmeme describes users editing videos, hosting multiplayer games, and running personal agents from a phone, including agents tied to their own phone numbers. Manus also introduced Cue, a standalone app for personal agents reportedly provisioned with dedicated email, phone numbers, wallets, and computers. Manus 2.0 is described as available now, while Cue is in free early access behind an invite code. The launch positions agents as persistent actors with independent digital identities, but available excerpts are announcement-level and do not provide adoption metrics, safety architecture, or independent benchmarks.

Manus is turning its AI agent into a platform with version 2.0, letting users edit videos, host multiplayer games, and run personal agents with their own phone numbers. Manus 2.0 is available now, and Cue is in free early access with an invite code.
Key takeaway
Manus 2.0 and Cue read as a deliberate bet on agents as long-lived, independently identified products—not ephemeral chat—though the packet documents features and availability, not proven market impact.

Why it matters
Operators and builders should treat wallet-, phone-, and computer-backed agents as an identity and permissions problem: sandboxing, audit trails, and liability become central when software can act outside a single chat session.
Limits and uncertainties
Coverage in the packet is largely product-announcement excerpts without adoption metrics, benchmarks, or third-party validation.
The material does not spell out what Manus 2.0 improves over prior versions, how agent identities are isolated, or concrete safety and accountability controls.
Bloomberg detail reaches the packet only through Techmeme relay text, not full primary reporting in the corpus.
Practical implications
Teams designing agent stacks should map which credentials (email, phone, wallet, compute) an agent may hold and who is accountable when it acts autonomously.
Product and security reviews should assume remote phone control and hosted multiplayer surfaces expand abuse and misuse paths beyond text-only agents.
Evaluators should treat invite-only Cue early access as a limited window for hands-on testing, not evidence of production readiness at scale.
What to watch
Whether Manus or Bloomberg publish fuller technical documentation on sandboxing, wallet limits, and human override for Cue and Manus 2.0 agents.
Signs of real usage beyond launch messaging, such as pricing, enterprise customers, or incident disclosures tied to agent-owned phone numbers or wallets.
Independent security or policy analysis of agents provisioned with standalone financial and communications identities.
