Auteryn and Manus, honestly.
Manus is a general-purpose autonomous agent that takes a task from a single prompt.
We'd rather you pick the right tool than pick us for the wrong job. We only state what we can source about Manus; for everything else, ask them or try both.
What Auteryn does
- Every agent gets a persistent machine: terminal, browser, files
- Watch live, take the browser mid-run, hand it back
- Run agents on hardware you own
- Deploy the same agent to WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, email, SMS, a web widget and phone calls
- Each agent carries only the integrations, knowledge and skills its job needs
- On Pro and up, choose the model per agent, from the models we run

Pick Manus if…
Pick Manus if you want an agent that takes a prompt and comes back with the finished thing, and you don't need to be in the loop while it works.

Pick Auteryn if you want to see every step, step in mid-run, put agents on your own hardware, or hand the same agent to your customers on real channels.
