Manus is a tool that combines several advanced AI models, including Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, and Qwen Code, all integrated with the Evolve SDK. Setting it up requires straightforward steps: installing the necessary packages via npm, copying the example environment configuration, and starting the development server. The core component is the `EVOLVE_API_KEY`, which is essential for running the agents. There are also optional API keys for third-party services, a customizable database path, and various integrations. The system supports a range of file formats and offers skills such as PDF, DOCX, PPTX, and XLSX processing, along with browser automation. Users can select an agent and add specific skills and integrations like GitHub, Gmail, and Slack, among many others. The platform can handle over a thousand third-party integrations through Composio-managed authentication. Once set up, users can send prompts to the selected agent, which operates in a secure sandbox environment. Output is delivered in real-time, allowing users to monitor artifacts and browser sessions as they occur. This setup enhances productivity, enabling seamless interaction with multiple tools and file formats.
