Cue's official domain is cue.im. Manus introduced this standalone personal AI agent app alongside Manus 2.0 on September 28, 2026. It uses the same infrastructure but has a separate product entry. Unrelated desktop assistants and enterprise platforms sharing the name should not be included here.
The features below come from Manus’s announcement; access depends on your account’s eligibility.

From advice to delegated work
The announcement describes each agent as having its own email, phone number, wallet and computer. It can send messages, pay within a user-set budget and pursue tasks on its own machine. The announcement also mentions calls and summaries in Cue.
A wallet still needs a budget and authorization. Check the available budget and action controls before assigning tasks.
Collaboration needs explicit outputs
The official example puts agents in a group chat with one shared goal: research venues, make a shortlist and draft presentation materials, while the person sets direction and makes the final decision.
We suggest specifying a sourced venue list, a table with consistent fields and a draft as separate deliverables. Ask later tasks to use the earlier list rather than having every agent independently search again. This makes handoff errors and duplicated work easier to detect.
Everyday-service examples have limits
The announcement describes scanning a restaurant QR code so an agent can order or hold a queue position. It does not establish support for every restaurant, payment method or country. Actual execution depends on websites, accounts, checkout and merchant workflows.
Begin with cancelable tasks that produce drafts or require no payment. Before bookings, purchases or communication, review recipient, amount, timing, cancellation terms and actual execution. A completion statement in chat is not confirmation from the merchant or recipient; check the relevant transaction or communication record.
Start with one complete small task
- Enter through cue.im or the Manus announcement and confirm the product identity.
- Check early-access eligibility, then use platform downloads offered by the official site.
- Select or create one agent and specify a task and output format before adding collaborators.
- Use public information or drafts, checking sources, omissions and available action records.
- Add delegation only after one task is understandable, with budgets and permissions set as needed.
Use this sequence as a starting point, with the buttons and permissions shown in your account. See the computer-use permission guide for system and application access.
Invitations, platforms and pricing
The September 28 announcement describes free early access with an invitation code. Places are limited; check the current entry page to see whether you can still apply. Formal tiers and allowances await official details.
The announcement lists web, desktop and mobile entry points, with iOS awaiting App Store review. Check current downloads and whether your account supports the phone numbers and payment services you need.
How it differs from Manus and Muse
Manus 2.0 emphasizes Studio for documents, websites, videos and games, plus Cloud Computer and event-triggered workflows. Cue emphasizes personal-agent identity, communication and collaboration. Shared infrastructure does not establish shared account allowances or complete feature interoperability.
Meta Muse is another personal-agent product, from Meta, whose announcement describes cloud computers, connected apps and approval controls. Check regional access and permissions, then compare both products on the same task.
Our current recommendation
Start with a small task, check its result and any external actions, then decide whether to expand. Teams needing repeatable business workflows should first establish service support, costs and access conditions.
