ManusAI has joined the image generation trend as the company launched its feature. However, it’s not like your regular image generation tool; it goes one step ahead. Announced on the company’s official X (formerly Twitter) handle, the new tool is designed to understand a user’s intent before generating an image. Here’s everything you need to know about:
Introducing Manus image generation.

What sets ManusAI apart is how it integrates image generation as part of a broader task execution process. Unlike the majority of standalone AI image models, which focus solely on visuals, ManusAI uses image creation as one step in achieving a larger user goal. This can be useful in specific use cases like building a presentation, creating content, or assisting with design tasks.
For example, most chatbots, like ChatGPT or Gemini, also offer image generation features. But Manus’s approach is different. It doesn’t just ask for a prompt; it looks at the broader task a user is trying to complete, reasons through the steps, and integrates image generation where it makes sense.
Recent Expansion and Access Updates
The image generation update follows broader platform changes ManusAI rolled out just days ago. The company recently confirmed that Manus is now available to all users with no waitlist. The company is now offering free daily tasks worth 300 credits and a one-time bonus of 1,000 credits, which gives newcomers more room to explore the tool’s capabilities.
Paid plans are also available, ranging from $19 to $199 per month, with additional features and faster response times. Free credits reset daily but do not carry over, which aims to boost consistent daily use.
