You’ve heard of AI ‘Deep Research’ tools…now Manus is launching ‘Wide Research’ that spins up 100+ agents to scour the web for you
The implication seems to be that running all these agents in parallel is faster and will result in a better and more varied set of products.
Chinese AI startup Manus, which made headlines earlier this year for its approach to a multi-agent orchestration platform for consumers and “pro”-sumers (professionals wanting to run work operations), is back with an interesting new use of its technology. Each Manus session runs on a dedicated virtual machine, giving users access to orchestrated cloud compute through natural language — a setup the company sees as key to enabling true general-purpose AI workflows. As other platforms wrestle with the technical challenges of subagent coordination and reliability, Manus’s approach may serve as a test case for whether generalized agent instances — rather than narrowly scoped modules — can deliver on the vision of seamless, multi-threaded AI collaboration.
