Manus 2.0: mobile control, video editing and AI agents

Alex da Cruz
Alex da Cruz is a full-stack developer based in São Paulo, Brazil. He works with React, TypeScript and automation, and uses AI daily to solve real problems in code and operations — not as a demo. He has run an e-commerce operation end to end, and now builds and maintains the automation pipeline behind this blog. He writes about what he actually tests.
Manus 2.0 expands autonomous AI agents beyond basic text and browser tasks into native multimedia editing and remote device management. According to The Decoder, the platform introduces Manus Studio with dedicated Video Editor and Game Dev environments.
How does remote mobile control change daily execution?
Users can direct agents remotely straight from their mobile phones while tasks run on approved files and desktop apps via Computer Use. Automations can also trigger directly from incoming emails or Slack messages, removing the need for manual prompt triggering during standard workflows.
What are the efficiency gains of the new architecture?
The updated Cascade agent harness achieves a 23.2 percent reduction in token usage compared to the previous system. This structural optimization results in a 32 percent drop in operational running costs for recurring automated tasks.
How do dedicated cloud environments operate?
Dedicated cloud computers keep game servers running continuously for multiplayer setups. Additionally, a separate companion app named Cue provides every single agent with its own unique email address, a dedicated wallet, and an independent computer environment.
