Evolution of the Browser Agent
The "Manus" platform represents a new generation of browser-first AI agents. Here is how it compares to the OpenClaw ecosystem.
Why choose OpenClaw?
- Open Source Sovereignty: You own the gateway, the data, and the configuration.
- Multi-Channel: Control via WhatsApp/Discord, not just a web UI.
- Deep File Integration: Better for local file management and terminal-heavy tasks.
Why choose Manus?
- Browser-First: Highly optimized for complex, multi-tab web research and automation.
- Managed Infrastructure: No need to host your own gateway or handle local dependencies.
- GUI-Native: Built from the ground up for a visual, side-by-side browsing experience.
