Today, we're taking Manus out of the cloud and putting it on your desktop. Introducing My Computer, the core feature of the new Manus Desktop app. It’s your AI agent, now on your local machine.

Dify has raised $30M in our Pre-A round. We started this in March 2023 with one conviction: AI should be accessible to everyone, not just the best-resourced teams. Two and a half years later, over 2,000 teams and 280 enterprises build their own AI workflows on Dify. Not adopting solutions. Building them.

We are thrilled to share that @jaltma is joining Benchmark as our newest General Partner. The Benchmark partnership is built on a shared commitment to the craft of venture capital, where our work is defined by the depth of service and commitment to the founders we work with. We believe this work does not scale and is best practiced where we win as a team of partners. By operating as a true partnership rather than a collection of individual franchises, we ensure that every founder we back benefits from our combined experience and a singular, shared commitment to their success. We first met Jack as a founder of Lattice over a decade ago. We followed Jack as he built Lattice into a leader in its category and navigated the turbulence that every software company faced in 2020. We admired Jack’s character and the way he prioritized transparency and authenticity to build a great team. That same value system defined his transition to founding a venture capital firm, Alt Cap, where he has made a familiar commitment to craft and service over capital. As an investor, Jack has partnered with some of the most ambitious founders of the generation with his investments in Legora, Rogo, Owner, Avoca, Rippling, and many others. Founders told us “I call Jack first to work through the toughest problems,” “He is my most trusted partner on the board,” and “Jack provides steady and grounded support that is rooted in having been a founder himself.” He combines relentless energy, deep intellectual curiosity, and a competitiveness to see founders win, all anchored by high integrity. We have always believed that our firm’s strength lies in its equal partnership: a small, focused group of individuals who operate with the same authority, responsibility, and singular mission to support entrepreneurs from the earliest stages. By joining our partnership, Jack brings a fresh perspective that will help us continue this mission. Welcome to Benchmark, Jack. – Ev, Chetan, Eric, Peter

Well, I think I need to clarify this: Manus personal agent mode is not based on @openclaw. It is still built entirely on Manus's in-house architecture. That said, I still believe it's necessary to pay respect to the OpenClaw project, because it further experimented with and helped shape the "safety boundary" between users and agents. Exactly one year ago today, we were doing the final polishing before Manus's release. The problem that troubled us the most at the time was actually: How do you make users trust an agent? This isn't about the source code - it's about the uncertainty that comes with limitless possibility. Back then, non-technical users, and really the entire world, had no concrete experience with AI agents. User education therefore fell onto a small startup. 😂 To address this, we designed four things: * Cloud Sandbox: A fully isolated virtual machine is launched for each task so it cannot affect the user's own computer. * Task Replay: You can replay tasks shared by others in read-only mode to safely explore what an agent is. * Interruptible Action Chain: You can inspect the agent's step-by-step actions and interrupt or correct them on the fly. * GUI Takeover: Whenever login or human intervention is required, the agent requests the user to take control of the browser, mouse, and keyboard. These safety measures accompanied Manus through its first year. They allowed millions of users to experience a general agent for the first time, and eventually became standard features across agent products. Times have changed. As agents complete tasks more reliably, run faster, models grow smarter, and users become more familiar with them, we believe it's time to move from "building trust" toward "lowering the barrier". We are now doing this by: * Reusing Manus's mature virtualization layer so users can use it without configuration. * Introducing a new context-management system so users won't need to switch sessions in messengers. * Using intelligent subagent scheduling to parallelize tasks while balancing speed and quality. * Replacing more slash commands and menus with natural language. This strongly aligns with our long-standing mission: To extend human reach. To put the full power of AI to work by unlocking the code, not just for engineers but for everyone.
