Manus operates as a general-purpose AI agent that can browse the web, write and execute code, manage files, and deliver completed work products rather than just suggestions. Describe a project in plain language, such as scraping a dataset, analyzing it, and producing a formatted report, and Manus handles the full pipeline.

Canva debuted its 'AI 2.0' agentic tools on April 16, adding agents that can handle chained design tasks like resizing assets across formats, applying brand guidelines, and generating copy in one pass.

The suite is rolling out inside the existing Canva workspace at no additional cost for Pro subscribers.
