Manus Announces Collaboration with Microsoft to Unlock Broader Applications for its Personal AI
Today, Manus announced that its personal AI assistant will be available soon with Microsoft Agent 365 capabilities, becoming one of the platform's first launch partners.
By understanding how agents work like humans – with both creativity and risk – Microsoft Agent 365 offers an IT control plane to manage and secure agents. It brings agents under centralized management, protects sensitive data with risk-based access, proactively blocks vulnerabilities and malicious traffic, and equips agents with shared tools to streamline human-agent collaboration.
Regarding the collaboration, once IT administrators complete setup and configuration, users can enable Manus as their personal AI assistant to conduct market research, summarize and organize documents, answer questions, and more — enjoying the same seamless experience as on the web or mobile app.
Through this collaboration, Microsoft provides the enterprise-grade infrastructure, security, and accessibility that empower Manus to reach more users in their daily workflows.
The integration demonstrates how Manus' intelligence supports professionals in accomplishing complex tasks directly within Microsoft 365 applications— making personal AI an integral part of everyday productivity.
This collaboration builds on Manus' availability across Windows 11 and Windows 365, further expanding its reach onto a trusted and familiar productivity platform.
"Our goal has always been to help more users experience Manus and complete their work faster," said Tao Zhang, Co-founder and Chief Product Officer of Manus. "The Microsoft ecosystem offers diverse workplace scenarios and a vast community of productivity-driven users. This collaboration marks a key milestone as Manus' personal AI experience extends to a larger platform. We've worked to make it simple for enterprise users to access Manus within Microsoft services, and we look forward to their feedback as we continue to refine the product."
"We're pleased to collaborate with Manus to accelerate the frontier workforce with next-generation agentic solutions integrated deeply with Microsoft Agent 365 - the control plane for all agents. This collaboration enables customers to innovate faster and stay secure, bringing agents into the same trusted environment as users with familiar infrastructure, apps, and protections. Deep integrations equip agents with the productivity tools people rely on, driving seamless human-agent collaboration. By connecting agents to Work IQ, partners deliver context-rich experiences that fit effortlessly into business processes. Together, we're enabling secure, scalable AI transformation."— Nirav Shah, Corporate Vice President, Microsoft Agent 365
