Manus has announced the launch of Manus 1.5. It is said to be the most advanced agent system yet. According to the company, the new version delivers major improvements in speed, reliability, and task quality, while also introducing the ability to build and deploy complete web applications through simple conversation.
It is built on a redesigned engine and completes tasks nearly four times faster than before. The average task time has dropped from 15 minutes in April to under 4 minutes now. For more complex assignments, Manus can automatically allocate additional reasoning time and computing resources to produce deeper and higher-quality results. The company says that internal benchmarks show a 15 percent improvement in task quality and a 6 percent increase in user satisfaction compared to earlier versions.
Apart from that, the new architecture also expands Manus’s ability to handle longer and more complex tasks. With a larger context window, it can maintain coherence across extended conversations and detailed workflows, reducing the chances of missing key details or context.
Full Web Application Development
One of the most important upgrades in Manus 1.5 is its full-stack web application development capability. Users can now build and deploy production-ready web apps directly through Manus without needing to manage hosting, configure backends, or fix deployment issues manually.
The best part is that this feature goes beyond generating static websites. Manus 1.5 can create applications with complete backend infrastructure, databases, user authentication, version control, and built-in analytics. It also includes embedded AI capabilities for multimodal interactions and image generation. It also allows you to connect custom domains, set permissions, and use visual editing by describing changes in plain language.
What sets this apart is its integrated browser, which allows it to test the web apps it builds. It can launch an application, interact with it like a user, detect errors, and fix them autonomously before handing it over. This means developers and teams can move from idea to deployment in a single conversation without switching platforms or tools.
Collaboration and Library
Manus 1.5 also introduces new collaboration features. Users can now invite team members into a shared session and work together with Manus in real time. This makes it easier for teams to coordinate, review changes, and build projects collectively.
A new Library feature has also been added, providing a central place to store and manage all files and project artifacts generated by Manus. This helps users keep their work organised and accessible as projects grow in scale and complexity.
Two Versions for Different Needs
The update comes in two versions: Manus-1.5 and Manus-1.5-Lite. The full version offers the complete power of the new architecture and is available to subscribers, while Manus-1.5-Lite provides a cost-optimised experience for all users. Subscribers also get a 50 percent discount on Lite credit consumption.
