Tom's Guide reviews Manus, a new AI agent from Butterfly Effect that has quickly gained significant online interest. Unlike traditional chatbots relying on single large language models, Manus utilizes multiple AI models and a network of independent agents for a broader range of tasks. The reviewer compared Manus to ChatGPT across five different prompts, finding that Manus generally provided more thorough and detailed responses, demonstrating its capability for complex analysis and reasoning. However, the increased depth often resulted in longer response times and outputs that were less practical and user-friendly compared to ChatGPT's more concise approach. Ultimately, while impressed by Manus' capabilities, the reviewer found its extensive responses less suitable for regular use compared to other AI tools.
